surian Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 But what shocked me where those figures that Surian posted, all of them untrue and wrong and it shows how many people actually believed itMaybe I misunderstood you but are you saying that my figures are untrue or are you saying that the people polled answered incorrectly? I do agree with you that BBC is a great media outlet, public media is something that the US lacks. The only place I ever get my news from is NPR or PBS and the reason is that they are about the only place that really is unbiased either way. They have a very slight liberal slant but it's almost not noticeable. In fact, I read a report done by FAIR a while ago that actually said that NPR has a conservative slant. Tyjet: FOX is not slanted to the republican side because they want to grab a demographic of the US veiwing area, but because Rupert Murdoc is a very conservative person and is very closely tied to the GOP in the US. I will agree that CNN has a liberal bias, though it's nowhere near as bad as FOX. I don't understand why you people have problems with republican stances... If every news station became liberal, you guys never would have started or continued this thread...The issue isn't that they have a republican slant (to me at least). I stated earlier that the only places I get my news from are NPR and PBS due to the fact that they are about as balanced as you can find. I don't watch CNN or listen to "air america", nor do I watch FOX unless I want to get myself angry.The reason that I'm picking on FOX rather than CNN or any other news group is because FOX is so unbelievably biased that it's a stain on our country's media. Look at what Icefiddel said, he isn't from the US and just from looking at the figures I gave him he thought that (if they are true) our country is brainwashing our public. That's what i'm talking about, FOX is much more dangerous than CNN because they are much more biased. I'm not saying that eveyone should watch CNN or listen to liberal radio stations, they shouldnt', but FOX is so over the top that it has to be stopped or at the very least it shouldnt' portray itself as a news outlet because they don't deliver news but rather a very specific oppinion. You can't tell me honestly that CNN is as bad as FOX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefiddell Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 lol no i believe what your saying about the figures, what i meant by untrue was the fact one of them was that we'd found Weapons of Mass Destruction or was it Biological that you said i forget, but i meant that that is untrue like the others. thats what i meant.
