30 Reasons Fox News Is Not Legit



Fox News routinely, and blatantly, breaks the code to which ethical journalists are supposed to aspire.

Why the Beltway press has invested so much time and energy in recent weeks defending Fox News, with one scribe even claiming that the White House's public critique of the network was "dangerous to press freedom," and why the press refuses to acknowledge what's so obvious about the cable channel's political pursuits, remains baffling.
The facts regarding Fox News' lack of professionalism seem rather obvious (as I detail below 30 different times). And that ought to be plain for Beltway journalists as well. But whether for reasons having to do with external professional, social, or political pressures, many journalists have opted to pretend that Fox News is a serious outlet, that it's just like its cable and network TV news competitors.
They insist that any suggestion that Rupert Murdoch's cable channel isn't legitimate is completely off-base and that the White House is not even allowed to have an opinion on the issue. Indeed, ABC News' Jake Tapper suggested it was not "appropriate" for the administration to tag the channel as illegitimate. (Tapper himself can't tell the difference between the programming that Fox News and ABC News produce.)

Why are so many people switching to Fox? Because they tell it like it is. We would have never heard about the acorn scams and other lies being put out by the wh news(what a joke they are). Fox has invited obama and some of the other jokers to appear on their shows to debate issues, but they are afraid to because they will be asked tough questions.

''The biggest problem with Australian media is the steady "dumbing-down" of it, led by a Murdoch rag called Mx which features celebrity gossip and lists real news under a heading "Doom and gloom".

I would expect the left wing to try to destroy the first amendment when they find press who do not agree with them. Its genetic to the breed.

Murdoch owns the tabloid, Sun, and the Times, a preemmient London paper. He covers his bases.
