Fox News desperate to discredit Obama

Please read the screen shot taken from the FOX NEWS WEBSITE about 10 minutes ago. I count six negative news items on Obama.
The only story I see on McCain is over to the right, you see a little thumbnail of him in a video link story. (he's smiling and looking rather good and no doubt the video will be shining a glorious light on him)

I am surprised FOX haven't called a McCain win already! LOL

Does anyone else see the pattern here?

When there are credible sources to a news story it's called reporting the news.When they are not credible sources they are called Comments Not News or CNN for short.

That's sad, what slander. Fox News wouldn't be so bad if they didn't call themselves "fair and balanced" when they're so obviously not.

Geezus man. Go look at CNN's website. I know it KILLS some people to see one news channel ask the tough questions on Obama. Everyone just wants to give this man a pass.

Why don't you just come out and say it.You're not a Fox news viewer. What time does the redneck,inbred,racist hour air?

Near as I can tell, Fox runs inbred racist programming 24 x 7.

No it can't be 24/7 redneck,inbred,racist programming.I have seen several toothpaste comercials and a bunch of Obama ad's...Just yanking your chain....I'll quit.

Im sure even the toothpaste commercials are racist.

Fox News, with the exception of Hannity and Colmes and O'Riley, is by far the most fair and balanced out of all the news channels. I used to watch CNN but I couldn't take it anymore I had to switch to keep my sanity.

Fox News and it's redneck, inbred, racist viewers cannot accept the fact that the black fella is going to be in the White House. Watching them resort to lies and distortions would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Yes, because it is impossible to be critical of Obama for reasons other than his race. Now if he were white and the same criticisms were being made it would be ok, but since he isn't white how dare anyone criticize or question him.

And no, I don't watch Fox News. Or CNN or MSNBC for that matter.

It really isn't all that hard to discredit Obama. You just report the facts, the contradictions, and the disclosures.

Fox News and it's redneck, inbred, racist viewers cannot accept the fact that the black fella is going to be in the White House.

The regular audience for the Fox News Channel continues to include more Republicans than Democrats. Currently, 39% of regular Fox News viewers are Republicans while 33% are Democrats; in 2006, the margin was 38% to 31%.

Guess those 33% of Democrats are redneck, inbred, racist viewers who cannot accept the fact that the black fella is going to be in the White House also.

The most important issue here is to transcend the false Left/Right
paradigm. Both candidates have near identical foreign policies and both voted for the bailout, and are merely having a sham war over unimportant issues to distract the people and let them belive they are free.

Most people on this board know this but it's surreal to see people putting so much energy into an obviously fixed fight.

The real powers in the world are largely unaffected by who's in the White House, especially since both candidates are bought and paid for. The NWO agenda continues whatever the weather.

So what? If your offended don't watch Fox News. It's as simple as that. I personally don't like Fox, so I don't watch it. I'm getting sick of these Fox bashing threads. Enough already we get it. Fox is in the tank for McCain just like MSNBC is for Obama. American news is bias on both sides.

I would imagine that most people who are really into Fox were already voting for McCain anyway.

FOX has no credibility and most media watchdogs agree with that.

They don't just "lean" to the right they are so far bent they don't know what left looks like. They don't even care if the story is patently false as long as the rumor is out. Other networks have debunked most of their Obama attacks already.

Expect a nonstop barrage of heavy unsubstantiated "criticism" of Obama from FOX in the next few days leading up to the election.

They are patching up the swiftboat for another sailing, only unlike Kerry the Obama campaign isn't taking this libelous crap lying down.

Bullcrap. FOX NEWS is the most successful cable news station IN HISTORY. Deal with it.

Other networks like PMSNBC and Keith Olberman?

Study after study shows that FOX news viewers are misinformed about the current situation in Iraq and quite a few other things.

This was particularly funny considering that McCain also wanted to "spread the wealth" but now has forgotten:

In falsely accusing Obama, Fox News' Brown misrepresented reason McCain gave for initially opposing Bush tax cuts

Summary: Fox News' Steve Brown accused Sen. Barack Obama of omitting the purported reason Sen. John McCain initially opposed the Bush tax cuts, which Brown claimed was "because they didn't match up with corresponding cuts coming out of the budget." In fact, the reason McCain gave for voting against the tax cuts in a May 2001 floor statement was that "so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief."Media Matters

It isn't as simple as "if you don't like it don't watch", FOX is misleading the public while masquerading as a legitimate news source. It would be different if it were FOX OPINIONS and not FOX NEWS.

That is what I take issue with.

FOX is just straight up propaganda.
