Acorn Thug Makes Their Case on FoxNews
 
Interesting. I'd have to give whomever this Stuart guy is a case of beer.

That was the most unproductive and worthless discussion I have seen since I last walked in on my girlfriend watching "The View"

I like Fox news and I see them as a conservative counterbalance to liberal journalism, but they couldn't have damaged their already poor public image in the field of objective reporting if they had tried.

Two people, or parties, or whatever, attempting to talk over each other is not a discussion or debate. Nobody benefits from this kind of discourse, whether they are right or wrong.

Frankly, I couldn't hear anything.

Acorn is not a party.

There liberal activists pure and simple. With a socalisist agenda at that.

Friends with William Heirs and his ilk.... oh yea Buddies of Obama too.

Pandering at its best.

The main point I agree with from the FOX side for once.

Which one could argue is the basic problem with FOX News.

FOX is always good if you want to hear an echo-chamber for the right wing. Or just laughs in general.

On the other side of the coin we only have CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, BBC, NPR not to mention the papers.

A widely-cited public opinion study [5] documents a correlation between news source and certain misconceptions about the Iraq war. Conducted by the Program on International Policy Attitudes in October 2003, the poll asked Americans whether they believed statements about the Iraq war that were known to be false. Respondents were also asked which was their primary news source: Fox News, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, "Print sources," or NPR . By cross referencing the responses according to primary news source, the study showed that higher numbers of Fox News watchers held certain misconceptions about the Iraq war. The director of Program on International Policy (PIPA), Stephen Kull said, “While we cannot assert that these misconceptions created the support for going to war with Iraq, it does appear likely that support for the war would be substantially lower if fewer members of the public had these misperceptions.” [6]

There's no doubt in my mind that NPR and MSNBC hold a liberal bias for the most part. I don't beleive the clap trap that every other media outlet under the bloody sun has a liberal bias. In fact, it's a complete fallacy often debunked and often repeated,an incredible convenience for the right. The failures in journalism in the run up to the Iraq war alone are glaring examples of the lack of a liberal bias in the majority of American media.
To clarify, I think there was a liberal bias at one point in time, by and large, in American media.I beleive years of over compensating for these claims has resulted in a more conservative media.
