"Hillary Clinton: We Tax Everything That Moves"

No news organization should have this many examples of bias live. Ever. Have fun trying to dig up this many examples for CNN or MSNBC or ABC.
The website is the Fox Nation, an independent "fansite" for Fox News, not Fox News itself, and the article about Hillary's "taxing everything that moves" comes from The Daily Times (a PAKISTANI news site), not FoxNews.com.

So not all of your examples are coming from the right source.

http://www.foxnews.com/
http://www.cnn.com/

Interesting that if it weren't for Fox News, I wouldn't know that there were elections going on right now. :NomNomNom:

So yeah, key differences, but otherwise they look the same to me.
another quality post by Soja, complete with a hot wet dicking Reaver was forced to accept

I actually looked this up before I posted this because I doubted it was really Fox too:

Fox Nation Privacy Policy: THEFOXNATION.COM ("FOX") is part of the News America Group, which has adopted a set of Privacy Principles (http://www.newscorp.com/privacy.html) applicable to all its U.S.-based companies. FOX has implemented those Principles in this Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use and share personally identifiable information ("PII") we obtain from and about individuals located in the U.S., both online and off-line.

Fox News Privacy Policy: "FOXNEWS.COM ("FOX") is part of the News America Group, which has adopted a set of Privacy Principles (http://www.newscorp.com/privacy.html) applicable to all its U.S.-based companies. FOX has implemented those Principles in this Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use and share personally identifiable information ("PII") we obtain from and about individuals located in the U.S., both online and off-line."

They're the same. It should also be noted that the comment was made out of context and seems pretty biased, going off of current political stereotypes (see: democrats taxing the fuck out of everything). Sure, it might have been run in the Daily Times (which if you wanted to read the whole article, it linked you to it), but the Fox Nation (and by extension Fox) should have the common sense to double-check this kind of stuff before slapping it on their website and perhaps picking a less abrasive title slash realizing it's biased material and writing their own stuff.

You gave Inui his first (and last?) sexual experience, didn't you? That's historic.

I think Fox News is 60/40 conservative, while other stuff is 70/30 liberal or worse.


It's 30/70 conservative during prime time hours, 80/20 conservative in the later hours, and 0/100 on everything else.

I can come to these conclusions because I know my stuff, my viewpoint is totally not skewed by anything, and I'm wearing my lucky Sailor Moon panties. (In other words, I'm not serious)

As a side note, when did Rush rant against Fox news? I don't remember this and I'm genuinely curious.

This leaves me with some confusion. Why would News Corp have two different Fox News websites, with The Fox Nation looking like some amateur news blog/aggregator that focuses on conservative issues?

Probably to have the latter as an outlet for those looking to get ammo or somesuch.

EDIT: Wiki Page. My deduction was half-correct, anyway.

But going back to the source, they did post a link to the original article which is by a news publisher not associated with News Corp. All they did was publish the key quote from the original story, which does have that quote bulleted as a core topic by the Daily Times. It's not like they did anything but give it exposure.

Biased though, of course. But to expect otherwise from Fox Nation would be like me going to MoveOn.org or the Huffington Post and expecting to find an article praising a Republican other than that turncoat, Specter.

It was on his radio show, back in 2004 when he believed that Fox was letting its prime time lapse into liberal tendencies in an attempt to open up its audience to more left-leaning viewers.

I looked for a transcript, but it shouldn't be surprising that I couldn't find one being that this was back in 2004.

Here I was thinking it'd be too snide to add "he probably was bitching about Fox being too liberal for his tastes". :NomNomNom:

It's equivalent to reading that Barack Obama is gay on the cover of the National Enquirer and then going around calling Obama a faggot: why would you ever trust information from an unreliable source or such obvious bias if you want to be "fair and balanced"?

And honestly, I'm just as confused as to why Fox Nation even exists. I guess they just need a place for their more conservative stories, and I suppose that's fair enough if they wanted to keep themselves neutral during their other programs.
