Let me put it another way, earlier in the thread you said you felt the US ought to enact a law which Quote:
Quote:
Seems like we need a law prohibiting false or misleading claims on BB's (heavy sarcasm intended) JR, for all his faults, is a very accurate person when he makes statements of facts. I know he takes a bit of pride in that. Argue his conclusions all day long, but a mistaken conclusion is far different than presenting erroneous facts, and the accusation of such isn't something that should be brushed over because you "don't care to dig for it". Back on point of this topic, the media gives no claim (other than for revenue) of being worthy of faith. Each outlet panders to their base in order to garner more advertising revenue and a larger base. Unlike the government, which is SUPPOSED to present the good for all citizens and thus lost faith is a critical thing, lost faith in the media simply means finding a media outlet more suited towards your own beliefs. |

Technically, he was wrong when he stated I hate corporations and rich people, but who's keeping track. ![]() Much like the current media, you are detracting on the meat of what's important with a side show of who's right and wrong. I admitted to being wrong about the Fox in Canada thing, and here we are 7 posts later still talking about me being wrong? Let's talk about our pathetic media. Thanks.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Media?
Feel free to PM with what you believe are my incorrect positions in the Occupy thread and I will gladly refute or admit as necessary. I would suggest that I stand by all my statements as factually correct and, if they are in error, I will gladly and publicly admit the same.
Further, my intention was not to say that you rely on one source but that you act like someone who does. That is just my opinion based on your various arguments and positions that you have taken in the various political threads. I said: Quote:
My intent, if it was not clear, was that you often (I would say consistently) are dismissive of facts which do not support you opinions and "see only those parts of the picture [you] find agreeable". Fox reports facts - they also spin them. In my opinion, you consistently look at the spin and ignore the facts. Further, you were wrong when you initially made the statement ("Fox is banned") in the Occupy thread. I pointed out the error then, but, consistent with your methodology, you ignored it. Now, in a thread lambasting the media for their playing fast and loose with the truth, you repeat - and assert as truth - a fact which you have not verified, the error of which was previously pointed out and which is consistent with your complete and utter contempt for Fox. Pardon me for calling "Fail" on a person who consistently blasts others for being uninformed but whose only support for a blatantly erroneous statement that is the child of rank demagougery is "a friend told me".

I haven't ignored anything, nor do I recall the post from the other thread. Chances are I just didn't see the post. Chill out. Are you asking me to point out where Fox lies? If so, I can definitely do that.

I have no problem with the concept that not all of what Fox claims as "fact" is not actually factual. At the same time, not all they claim as fact is fiction either. The same is true of CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Media?
it seems like the GOP followers are crying over spilled milk. their party is out of power, so they have lost faith in our govt. their presidential hopeful has a ton of skeletons that are now being re reported, so they have lost faith in the media. boo hoo i say

Well if you have followed any of my post you will know that I lost faith both in Gov. & the media long before Obama took office.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Media?
Funny thing is Fox is not banned in Canada and I'm not sure where you got that from.

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Media?
That is correct. I mistakenly went on RFK, jr.'s article about it being banned. It is in fact not banned in Canada, and I even researched a few cable stations that carry it after JR's correction.

But for those like me it may be worth noting that when NCSkins says "the few" he means more than 10 and what i would normally refer to "the vast majority”. There is however “one” notable exception, as Videotron, Canada’s third largest cable provider which is targeted towards the French speaking Canadians does not carry the channel. I would offer an opinion as to why but I am unable to read French-Canadian: Services de TĂ©lĂ©phonie, Internet, TĂ©lĂ©vision et Mobile | VidĂ©otron

Re: Has Anyone Else Completely Lost Faith In The Media?
Fair enough. We all make mistakes, even the media. Its the imflamatory stuff that none of us like.
When this batman shooting happened i honestly thought there was a good chance the guy was going to be associated with the Occupy movement. Hes a young white guy who couldnt get a job even though he was well educated. That sounds a lot like OWS to me. I was dead wrong. But i didnt go around proclaiming it like an idiot on national TV or ANYWHERE else. Unfortunitly Brian Ross's insidious remarks didnt seem all that uncommon.
