The example is correct, the second is paraphrasing out of context, and the third is and outright lie. Also, accusing somebody of being a Socialist Communist who isn’t American isn’t criticism, it’s pandering.

Actually looking back over the years, the real mistake we made was choosing to go Independent and loosing reasonable voices in both parties.

When all the citizens walked to non-participating members of parties, we created a void that allowed even further infiltration of money in campaigns now won exclusively with advertising dollars.

And a lie told during the campaign that cannot be proved until after the election is even better than the truth.

Well…when the president has made a routine of apologizing to enemies (past and present) of the United States, ignoring important days such as Victory in Japan Day and Armistice Day because they’re “unfortunate periods in history”, and talking about “who’s ass to kick” and how the “entire staff of Fox News are jackasses and Nazis”, then I think I and everyone else have every right to criticize openly and fairly.

That’s correct as far as it goes. It rather falls down when you assume that the BBC doesn’t have politically or ethnic/religious/nationally biased reporting just because it’s not owned by a business.

I think the only mainstream news source that is independent, as in, not corporately owned, is the BBC. So, Fox News may be the worst of the worst, but every news station and paper has corporate ownership. Which means, they only tell you what they want you to hear, in favour of whomever is on the Board of Directors for that media station.

Well Larrikin, most Republicans I’ve heard from in the last few years want nothing better than to turn America into a rich, white, conservative Christians only club.

1st – ALL HAIL THE NECROPOST!

2nd – I have a dream – that one day every woman related to politics that has borne children be referred to equally as “baby mamas,” because it is fair and respectful, and all women in politics deserve to be treated with fairness and respect?

BTW. W’s baby mama? Totally hot for her age, but she could do with some rawkin’ highlights.

See? Haha, it’s fun, AND fair!

Go back and listen to the actual audio of that speech she gave in 2004. The quote is “…my baby’s daddy.” Racial connotations or not, she DID say it.
And to answer the comments about how this report is biased because it’s using a quote from 2004 that may or may not mean what it’s being portrayed to mean, how is this any different than the recent Spanish language ad trying to link McCain and Rush Limbaugh (who have tangled over and over again about immigration) by using a quote from 1993 that is lifted knowingly and completely out of context? At least this quote was used in context.

I just ran across this blog page. Apparently a lot of liberals do not know the difference between new anchors and general commentators. If Fox is not balanced, why on earth would they have someone like Allen “the world’s dumbest Liberal” Colmes on with Sean Hannity? He is a totally brain washed liberal.Fox gives both sides of the spectrum. Their news anchors are totally unbiased. MSNBC’s news people are the equvilent of paid staff for Obama. The reason most liberals do not like Bill O’Rielly is because he asks people like Obama direct meaningful questions and won’t let them avoid direct answers by spinning the facts. If liberals can’t lie or hide their true beliefs they can’t win elections.

Because at the time of its founding, it was illegal for a major US media outlet (possibly TV only, I can’t remember) to be owned by a foreign party. That has since been changed (at least for Fox), by the FCC.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:00:34 +0000

How can a news outlet be illegal?

All the mainstream media have been caught making things up and heavily slanting their reports. REmember Dan Rather and the fake memo? What about the New York Times and its refusal to cover the John Edwards infidelity story, even though it slimed John McCain on its front page?

Fox is no worse than any other mainstream outlet. Its only sin is that it slants to the right while ALL the others slant to the left.

By: hergieburbur

hergieburbur — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 03:56:47 +0000

You have GOT to be kidding. ONLY conservatives say that. They have been caught making things up and HEAVILY slanting what they report time and again over the past few year. Not to even get into the fact that it is technically an illegal news outlet (or at least was when it started).

By: Evil Pundit

The fact that it’s the only news channel that’s reporting things inconsistent with other news stations makes it fiction. They are not immune from whistle blowers simply because they’re reporting unpopular news, either.

Or it means that they’re getting it right and everyone else isn’t means the other MSM stations are reporting according the their own standard agenda. FN isn’t pure as the driven snow, but they are definitely more objective than the rest of the MSM.

It has to do with her reference to her husband as her ‘baby daddy’. Pay attention – there’s no apostrophe-s after ‘baby’ in her transcript. It’s fair to use ‘baby mama’, because it’s the inverse of her original statement.

Thanks for playing.

Then people need to learn to pay attention. If anyone, Fox watchers _would_ know that over others, simply to use as ‘ammunition’. It’s the same with people who would watch other news channels.

A white person of the same standing, who referred to herself in the same manner, would be referred to as this, if the situation arose. If not by Fox, then by some other news station.

By: TheLarrikin

TheLarrikin — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:16:19 +0000

Ok… I’m confused. :S

And it was not “baby’s daddy” – it was “baby daddy”, which validates the use of the term ‘of’ her – not ‘against’ her.

Just because they are the only real right-wing media channel out there doesn’t mean it’s fiction.

Fox News prolly shouldnt have put that up on the screen. However, it isnt racist. Not even close. Nor did Malkin even say it. Someone behinds the scenes put that up there. And probably as a joke, referring back to the comment she made and tying in the libs who dont like it that she is criticized.
If shes going to be campaigning for her husband, she fair game for criticism. Bill was fair game as he campaigned for Hillary. Why should Michelle be any different? If McCains wife starts campaigning for him, then shes fair game too.

I hate to be a douche, but last time i checked, this is america, and if you don’t like what FOX news or any other news station is saying, you dont have to watch it. Go watch NBC or something. The people over there at NBC do a good job making sure everything is politically correct for everyone out there with sensitive ears.

It appears to me that all Pundit Kitchen is becoming is a way for Libs to get back at the conservatives when they are upset. This lol isn’t even that funny. I bet it wouldn’t have even gotten good votes if it weren’t for the PC Liberals.

Yeah, because Fox News is the source that published obviously falsified military records on a presidential candidate.

No, wait. That was that bastion of journalistic integrity, CBS.

Maybe they’re the news outlet that, after discovering that one of their reporters was publishing intentionally false articles, protected him for YEARS until they got caught and were forced to hang him out to dry.

No, wait. That was “All The News That’s Fit To Print!”

Steve nailed it perfectly. Murrow IS in permanent rotisserie mode.

And it’s not like it was the only time Fox News attempted to make an offensive slur that sneakily racist. Calling a congratulatory gesture between Michelle and Barak Obama a “terrorist bump” comes to mind as well. There was a third incident that happened at around the same time the escapes me right now. Fox News and its supporters like to pretend that this was no big deal anyone who knows what the term means (and don’t think for one minute that they didn’t) knows that it was offensive both to her race and her gender.
