Did fox news tell the real story?

Is Bill real­ly as mod­er­ate as he claims to be?

It would seem that the spin stops here slo­gan has over the last few weeks, been more of a the spin starts here.

Is Bill still the no spin zone, or is he let­ting every­one slide these days, is bill mel­low­ing out, because this does not seem to be the no spin zone, any­more, when Juan Williams, can say that the earth is flat and bill says noth­ing, you just have to won­der, I mean real­ly what is up…

Is fox just as bad as the oth­er net­works…

I like fox news, for the most part they at least try to tell the sto­ry, unlike some oth­er media out­lets, that do not tell the truth but alleged­ly tell lies all day long, in fact were a real dis­as­ter fac­ing us, you would hear about it last on these oth­er net­works, they are for the most part liars, they do not report the news, they report by emo­tion­al digres­sion.

This is not news, it is enter­tain­ment, and debauch­ery, (alleged­ly)

The thing is I caught Fox news doing the same thing and I find it dis­turb­ing, slant­i­ng the news is not OK, I do not care if you are a repub­li­can, or a demo­c­rat, spin­ning the news, (mod­ern term which is the same as slant­ed news) which used to be a bad thing, back in the days of yore, when jour­nal­ists were not enter­tain­ment ori­ent­ed or behold­ing to the admin­is­tra­tion they were sup­posed to be report­ing on, as with so many reporters who are now work­ing at the white house, this is not right and would nev­er have hap­pened, back in the 60s or even 70s, report­ing is not spin­ning the news, as we so often see on ALL the net­works, even the vaunt­ed, fair and bal­anced fox news.

Most of the time Fox news is bet­ter than any oth­er net­work, but the oth­er day I saw a video that was tak­en out of con­text, show­ing pres­i­dent oba­ma, mak­ing a remark about BP, but it did not tell the con­text of his state­ment.

Now that was just wrong, it was not fair nor was it bal­anced, it was pre­sent­ed, in such a way as to appear to be one way when in fact it was some­thing com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent.

Now this is not to say that, they do this all the time, but it is done and that is a prob­lem, the news should not have to be fair and bal­anced, it should be the truth, but we are after all human, how­ev­er, it is appar­ent that we need to exam­ine the need to be fair and bal­anced, because our report­ing should not be unbal­anced, yet it is in many cas­es, or we would not need fox news at all.

It is a fact that we need bal­ance, because we are not get­ting it in most of the news cov­er­age today, that is far more dis­turb­ing than watch­ing a new sto­ry that is slant­ed, when you see what amounts to lies all day long and a fail­ure to cov­er the news along with a biased pre­sen­ta­tion to the extreme, that is worse by far.

We seem to be mov­ing far­ther away from report­ing and more and more toward enter­tain­ment, this is not only a mis­take but a shame on those that went before…

I know that it is only human to hold opin­ions, how­ev­er, it is not right to lie to the amer­i­can peo­ple.
