fox news bias on politics?

Spread the love

Is fox news being unfair and unbalanced when covering politics?

The ques­tion is a valid one, in cov­er­age today over the peri­od of one half hour, Fox news ran neg­a­tive seg­ments about Pres­i­den­tial Can­di­date Rick Per­ry, why did they do that?

The brought in Karl Rove and alleged­ly tried to cast a neg­a­tive light on the Very Pop­u­lar, (alleged­ly) Gov Rick Per­ry, but did it work and more impor­tant­ly why did they do it?

Think about that for a moment, why would Fox news be inter­est­ed in work­ing against Rick Per­ry, the most pop­u­lar Can­di­date…

You have to won­der when a new com­pa­ny, (or an enter­tain­ment com­pa­ny) comes out against a can­di­date if they are real­ly doing a fair analy­sis of the news or if they are just pro­ject­ing an agen­da.

If they are pro­ject­ing an agen­da what is it, what rea­sons would a news com­pa­ny have to pub­lish neg­a­tive cov­er­age, that has an alleged bias to it?

 

They alleged­ly crit­i­cized, Rick Per­ry, for mak­ing state­ments about finan­cial con­cerns, (which by the way many of the top econ­o­mists also have the same con­cerns) so in the end, who do you believe, Fox news, or sci­en­tists, Rick Per­ry, or Fox news, bob­ble heads? 

You know what, I trust peo­ple that do not sell adver­tis­ing as the only source of income…

You should weigh and bal­ance what you hear on TV, because you may not be see­ing valid infor­ma­tion you might be see­ing alleged­ly biased infor­ma­tion pre­sent­ed in a con­text that would sort of make you think that it was accu­rate when in real­i­ty it might not be accu­rate at all.

I like the idea of real bal­anced news cov­er­age and over the last cou­ple of months, some of the cov­er­age has not been as fair or as bal­anced as you might hope to see.
