Apparently a Fox News employee got fed up with the garbage there, and departed very stylishly, after being a "mole" for The Gawker for a couple of days, and releasing some inside information.

The Fox Noise website contains absolutely nothing about this.

So, that obviously means that it never happened, and that the whole thing was both a lie and a "drive-by liberal media smear." :lol:

Why do people like to beat up on Fox News? CNN and MSNBC are just as biased in theirs way as is Fox News.

No they aren't.

Suggesting that the bias of Fox News is equivalent to that of a more serious news outlet is just silly.

Proof of your prejudice. There is not single news network that can be fully believed. They all mix up news and editorial content and they are all selective in which stories that promote.

Anyone who sells news has an axe to grind and a hobby horse to ride.

The only news show that I watch regularly is the Colbert Report. He is conservative, but funny. He also has a unique way of presenting issues. For example, he started his own Super Pac, as a way of reporting on Super Pacs.

Just looking at some of the Fox News headlines

Pelosi Caught Telling Whopper http://nation.foxnews.com/nancy-pelosi/ ... ng-whopper

Dems Declare War on Ann Romney, Mother of 5 http://nation.foxnews.com/ann-romney/20 ... y-mother-5

Obama Sets Up Tax Shelter for his Kids http://nation.foxnews.com/president-oba ... z1s11VafQJ

Democrats are constantly being presented as evil jerks, and Republicans as super-heroes.

If this "mole" had been in a democratic organization, or a Media Matters employee, then, of course, Fox News would be treating him as a major national hero.

And, look at the headlines about George Soros, the evil Jewish puppetmaster, the "rich man who is hated throughout the world":

Yes, he's a traitor to rich people everywhere. :roll:

And, here is Fox News, encouraging its followers to harrass Media Matters by filing an IRS complaint

No serious news organization would stoop this low.

Speaking of which....

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/04/06/co ... er-israel/

Quote:
Controversial Media Matters analyst leaving rather than 'harm' the site over Israel criticism

A controversial senior analyst with the liberal activist group Media Matters is leaving the organization to start his own blog, saying he doesn't want his criticism of Israel to "harm" Media Matters.

MJ Rosenberg, who also got into hot water for mistakenly accusing the Drudge Report website of racism in coverage of the Trayvon Martin case, announced Friday on the Media Matters website that he was "striking out on my own with a brand new website and blog."

"My presence here is being used in an effort to shut Media Matters up," Rosenberg said in announcing he will be creating a new site, MJayRosenberg.com.


Of course, Fox Noise has to use adjectives like "controversial" and "liberal activist group" to clue its readers into knowing that these are people that the viewer base is supposed to hate. Fox Noise viewers would be too dumb to know otherwise.

Media Matters is just a small organization with a website. They don't own their own cable television network, no newspapers, no radio shows. Fox Noise is just blowing everything out of proportion, and treating Media Matters like a major national enemy. Fox "News" is just incredibly unprofessional.

A Media Matters employee leaves Media Matters, and that is newsworthy for Fox. Fox has a "mole" within its bowels, fires him and threatens him with legal action, and that is not newsworthy. :roll:

Actually, Colbert isn't really conservative. He only pretends to be one, so he can play a dense, narrow minded, full-of-himself buffoon.

Actually, they're all really just putting on a show, anyway. :wink:
