How Fox News Chooses You
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/14/15 | Dave Macy

Posted on 03/14/2015 4:53:42 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Americans are hungry for the truth. Six years of steady misinformation, cover-ups, scandals, lawless actions, outright lies—people need a dose of truth

You grab the TV controller and settle in for a quick look at the “news”. You gravitate to the national news presentation that most fits your political leanings. Since a large majority of America is conservative, most settle on FOX. That is unless you feel like you need a break from reality and decide to have a few chuckles. Then you move on to MSNBC—but hurry before it fully implodes.

The alphabet networks have always had left leaning producers, writers, and hosts. The reason is that most “journalists” have been indoctrinated by liberal schools of journalism run by relics of the 60’s. So after years of advocacy for liberal causes, the news business has been seeded with a leftist ideology full of political correctness, and intent on promoting socialism. All one has to do is read of the seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School in Albuquerque who chose a communist-themed prom recently.

Fox is the best news operation on TV. That’s why liberals hate it.

FOXNEWS isn’t perfectly conservative, but it’s still my #1 choice for TV news.

Even at that, you still can’t trust them. It seems in so many instances, that when they have the libs on the ropes, they suddenly back off of throwing the KO punch. Must be bad for business to do that.

This gets me to thinking about where I’ve worked. Other than the union bosses and grievancemen (who were syndicalists of course) there were very few progressives or liberals. The counties were run by Democrats but they were not the socialists of today. I’m wondering just how we got to the septic tank we’re in today.

You don’t get it. Their job is to present both sides objectively, not “KO” anything.

” The alphabet networks have always had left leaning producers, writers, and hosts. The reason is that most “journalists” have been indoctrinated by liberal schools of journalism
...the networks a product of years of leftist education and intent on being advocates of social change—change away from traditional American values that they view as archaic.”

Sheer pap.
The networks are in it for the MONEY.

A: They make money from ‘progressive” government spending and borrowing programs that boost the consumer spending they get all their money from.
B: Their advertisers prefer easily manipulated viewers IE: Liberals.

By being balanced FOX gets a share of the liberal idiots and a larger share of ‘normal’ people so their business plan works.

FoxNEWS is what CNN was originally meant to be, when it was formed back in the late 70s: the go-to place when news happens. Their collection of panelists are the types of people one would expect to have seen on Washington Week in Review in the 70s or The MacLaughlin Group in the 80s, maybe as late as the early 90s: not necessarily fair, not necessarily balanced, but not indoctrinationally polemical.

You are right. Why would the truth matter?

In TV, ratings equal money. Period.

Fox consistently trounces other cable network ratings. If the other cable news networks were interested in ratings, and therefore money, they’d choose to play their news coverage straight or lean it rightward. They haven’t. Instad, they chose ideology over ratings.

Spot on.
MSNBC and CNN are owned by stunningly profitable cable companies run by regime affiliates. Their financials are a trivial amount of the parent company.

Their job is to be balanced.

One side evil, the other side opposed to evil - and Fox presents a balance between the two.

That’s a lot better than flat-out propaganda for evil. But still . . .

Nope, just plain isn’t so. Period.
Shows with good ratings are cancelled because... THEY DON’T SELL PRODUCTS.

Ratings and demographics are tools used to sell product.
But results -measured in dollars- is the be-all and end-all of television.

Nobody really presents the news. What they do is postulate an opinion on a story, then give two sides to it. You very rarely see an investigative look into facts, just a headline then the arguments.

Fox News is a left wing channel that markets itself to gullible conservatives.

Chris Wallace is a thorough-going liberal, or he does an excellent impersonation of one. The same with Geraldo, of course, but Geraldo is open about it, and he actually does seem to have a true caring for our troops. Kurtz is a liberal who’s trying to restrain it. Most of the females on fox are pro-abortion and pro-homosexualism, so that makes them liberals to me, whether they want a strong defense and secure borders or not.

“We report, you decide.”
As for your bad for business comment, name another other network doing it better? Who do you trust, Karl Spooner?

I would say some are, not most, but then again I haven't investigated their backgrounds, I just enjoy the eye candy, (yes, shallow, aren't I).

Still, FOXNEWS is by far the best choice for conservatives.

The other cable channels and MSM are completely anti-Christian.
