An insider "spills the beans" on the real nature of FOX News!

[12voltman59]

No big surprise to me---I have felt this almost since the very beginning of this "news network."

I hope this story gets some coverage in the rest of the media:

I am sure that the talking heads at FAUX News--which I am now going call FOX from now on without saying "Faux News" then saying FOX----will say its all BS and that whoever of their former ranks is a coward for not saying who they are---but I can see why he or she didn't want to identify themselves---if you do talk against FAUX---they go out to crush you---are as the person said---"kick your ass!" Plus, there is that BS thing that FAUX makes about to be former employees sign---"you don't talk about us when you are gone" which is bullshit for a supposedly open media organization---if they don't have anything to hide--why the hell make your former employees sign a non-disclosure agreement????

I hope you don't mind if I just plain laugh out loud. The source for this article is "Media Matters" which if you didn't know is one of the mouth pieces for George Soros. So what do we have here? A radical far left Billionaire bad mouthing a right wing Billionaire! I take this as just so much "blah blah blah", didn't even have to read the article to know that. Non-disclosure agreements have been around a long time and there is nothing news worthy about them. I am certain Keith Obermann signed a stack of them at MSNBC (The far left wing arm of NBC...I say far left because NBC is consistently the most left leaning of the major networks and MSNBC is just plain over the top!)
Have you ever considered that Fox News is in business to make money? Any organization (especially a successful one) has the need to protect it's franchise. Fox News has over taken CNN as the cable news leader long ago, and continues to out perform the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS & NBC) combined! So what is the problem?
It would seem that the American people are rejecting the left-wing filter of the broadcast media. Demonizing Fox News for running a tight ship will not stop people from watching it.

*shakes head* someone actually gave attention to FOXnews?

FOX is the news service that gives the news the other networks are too chicken shit to talk about because it may not fit with their agenda. They tell the truth no matter who it hurts - dem or rep. They have one agenda only - the truth.

The "insider" is the real joke.

You beat me to it.

I would give the info more credence if it didn't come from a place that was backed by the almost carbon copy of Rupert Murdoch. Soros and Murdoch are almost the same people, it's just a question of which one sings the song you like to hear.

I'm not saying they're pure, but. . .let's not act like they're the only game on the block that does what they do.

o we can get Fox news 'ere an all.. isn quite wot we r used 2 for news... doubt if theyd b allowed 2 operate quite like they do if they wer based 'ere.. we have partiality rules for UK based telly an radio news programmin.. but it is a bloody gud comedy turn...:bigrin:

As a resident of Rupert's native land - he changed his citizenship so could buy Fox ..
Rupert has had only one ambition since his early days - to be the biggest - preferably a monoply.
...... Not necessarily the best.
He produces "stuff" that will sell - quality is optional. Please read Britain's "The Sun" which is a testimony to bad taste and bad reporting.

His political views have always been freely aired - again, not neccessarily with accuracy. He aims at a demograph and is very succesful with that.
There are far more "Non-intellectuals" than "intellectuals" and they buy his papers and watch Fox.

The one thing about Rupert - to his credit - he does not try to hide what he does and what he believes in and what he wants.
He knows his market place and just gets bigger and bigger.

Well, this scoop is quite an exposé of the incredibly obvious.
