For those that use the term “Faux News”
Posted on 1/25/18 at 9:08 am

I hear from the left all the time that Fox is the fake news and that the rest of the MSM is the truth.
Honest question: Can you provide examples of Fox News that are CONSISTENTLY “out there”? All outlets have their foul ups, but I am talking about the show or personality that is overwhelmingly one-sided and shilling.
If it is the entire network, I’d ask you to provide more than one or two examples of a pervasive bias.
I expect Hannity will be #1 on the list, and I think it is reasonable to say he lacks objectivity.
What else?

Fox lied , People died !
Faux News !
If your entire political philosophy is bumper-sticker depth quality, that’s all you need. Progressives aren’t content with having a Cultural Monopoly Of 96.3%. They want it all.

Fox is part of the MSM.
And Fox and Friends are overwhelmingly one sided. Conversations begin with things like "well, it's clear by now what a huge patriot President Trump is, which is why so much of this Russia stuff just doesn't ring true."
It's absurd. Harmless because it is such soft news, but still ridiculous.
Hannity is awful. I like and watch Tucker, but he's openly biased. I don't really like Laura, although I don't think she's a nut. But she's biased and lacks objectivity.
Dana Perino is good, but biased. Everyone on the Five but Williams leans right.
Fox is incredibly one-sided and shilling. There is no way around it. I prefer that shilling networks shill to my side, but let's call them what they are.

Hannity does lack objectivity but as he has said hundreds of times... he is not a news reporter and makes no claim to be one. He is a commentator. So is just about every person on CNN and MSNBC but they claim to be objective reporters which they are clearly not.

Hannity openly admits that he is not a journalist. Why do people have such a hard time understanding the distinction? Fake news is coming from fake journalists, not opinion guys like Hannity, Levin, Rush, etc.

I think you have to differentiate between the opinion/personality shows, and the actual news coverage.

Here's a politifact website with list of retractions Fox has issued. You probably won't take the time to read all 9 pages that have been retracted, because that would take too long.
This scorecard shows the ratings for statements made on air by Fox, Fox News and Fox Business personalities and their pundit guests. Rulings do not include statements made on air by politicians or paid spokespeople.

Fox News is better than ever now that Trump won and bought their cucked neoconservative asses to heel.

5 @ 5 bitched about Dems leaking whitehouse meetings when Durbin told the world our president is a racist.
they bitched about that instead of Trump's classless words about other countries

More on OP's impeccable timing (from ABC News via Raw Story).

Fox hypes bogus FBI ‘secret society’ dozens of times — then goes silent after it’s revealed as a joke
Fox News on Thursday ceased discussion about an alleged anti-Trump “secret society” in the FBI after the notion was revealed as a joke.
Fox News made 90 mentions of the so-called “secret society” in January. The network and GOP guests alleged that text message showed that FBI agents were out to get President Donald Trump.
Text messages obtained by ABC News on Wednesday suggested that FBI agents were joking when they used the term “secret society.”
But that report was never mentioned by Fox News and there is no record of a clarification from the conservative network.
