Occupy Oakland turns Violent!!! Is This the Start of Riots Elsewhere?

I will notice the word 'more' in your post, but Fox is far from
a balanced news source.

They are all out to appeal to their band of viewers and sell advertising. Balanced doesn't sell ads.

 

You cannot get more balanced. Fox interviews folks on both sides of the issues. It is a rare occasion that any of the others do.

 

I didn't have much time, but could not find a Fox story to back up the contention in the OP that the demonstrators were becoming violent and riotous. I would be much more willing to accept that the original site.

Anybody have a reputable conservative source to back up the contention that the demonstrators were violent and riotous?

I don't know anything about FoxNation. Is it an anti-Fox blog? They had a story but I don't want to quote it in case it is just another agenda driven blog.

 

Thanks, it does indeed. It basically says the same thing as CNN. My original questioning was based in the racist site you mistakenly linked to. I don't doubt that any demonstration can get out of hand.

In response to the questions in the OP here is my reply from above

At this point these folks don't have the commitment to hold a real revolution. They are too soft and pampered and will go home to their basement rooms in mommy's house as soon as the weather turns had. It is is a 'protest of the month' movement.

Thanks, I love to start the day with a laugh!

 

Ever met a union hack who liked Fox News? Not!!!

 

So tell me how it is wrong rather than childish taunting of smilies.

 

Fox News it the right-wing counterpoint to the left-wing viewpoint of MSNBC.

 

The amount of bias in a news network is contingent on the opinions of the viewer.

 

Yes I agree. No newscast is totally unbiased. Also, we interpret the story with our own biased opinion and beliefs. For example, if I listen to Fox News, I already, from my point of view, look at the story as being given from a right-wing perspective; same thing with MSNBC leaning left-wing.

 

Ok my point was the Fox offers the other sides viewpoint and interviews them directly. Whereas the other channels very seldom do so. so regardless of the conservative view point of the program hosts the programs are balanced because of this.

 

I did not know this about Fox News, I seldom, if every, watch them. I also don't watch MSNBC.

 

In general terms of the news networks, MSNBC is the left wing channel, Fox News is the right wing channel, and CNN is the center-left to centrist channel.

I tend to watch CNN more than any of these because, as a center-left (politically) kind of person, CNN is the least irritating of the bunch, but I do notice left-wing slant from time-to-time. Curiously, I also occasionally notice right-wing slant.

That being said, individual shows on each network have different flavors. Hannity's show on Fox, for instance, is going to be staunchly right-wing.

For CNN, it's a mixed bag. Anderson Cooper is more center-left. Erin Burnett is more center-right. Piers Morgan is left. They co-sponsored a presidential debate with the Tea Party. IMO, CNN is trying to strike a centrist balance.

 

I'm not sure this is true. I do know that what you are saying about Fox is true, but I regularly see guests from opposing viewpoints on CNN shows.

I don't watch MSNBC very often, so I can't speak to their methods.

 

I watch multiple channels. Anderson Cooper is the only show on CNN that I have seen do this. And CNN is far more than center left.

 

Fox is not a conservative news source. They are a catholic news source.

Are you going to say Shep Smith is a conservative ? Is Bill O'Reilly ? Greta ?

The only good thing on Fox was Red Eye, but I think that's even gone, now. I got rid of cable T.V. last year.

 

Sometimes you have the perfect way of putting things
