I caught about 10 minutes of he Fox round Table and decided to never watch again. I’m sick and damned tired of this crap. aathey reminded me tonight of their abyssmally bad performaqnce in 2004 when they were calling the race over in Kerry’s favor based on exit polls.
It’s past time for a nationwide movement to force these news organizations to at least try to be more balanced in their coverage - with the internet and imaging technology avilable now, it should be relatively easy to form a cadre of interested players - and on the internet it should be possible to assemble significant numbers - who could review the most outrageous instances of biased reporting, perhaps take an online vote on which was the outrage of the week, and then bombard the offending network or outlet with e-mails threatening to boycott all sponsors of the news or other out-of-bounds program - followed by a week of actual boycotts of the products for starters - just an ideal to maybe get people to start thinking, with more concrete followup after this election is over.........
Fox News did exactly the same thing in 2004. They moved left and spread doom and gloom before the election. Their own polls were among the worst, predicting a Kerry victory up to election day.
It is baffling. However, most of the behind the scenes people at Fox are liberals. There were reports of cheers and applause in the newsroom when the exit polls showed Kerry winning.
I would say some of the higher ups at Fox are very sensitive to the criticism from Democrats. Yet, not long after the election, Fox was back running promos about “liberal bias” in the media.
I can’t even watch Special Report anymore, even thought it’s one of my favorites. They pushed hard for McCain to be the nominee, then started bashing him.
Remember, the MSM wanted McCain to be the nominee, thinking conservatives would abandon him in the general. Perhaps Fox had the same mission.
I can say it appears even the Republicans at Fox News are the same elitist bunch that included Kathleen Parker, George Will, and others.
