Okay, you're so far in denial you can't even read what I've posted. I don't dispute that Fox lied. I expect that they will. I've said this earlier in this thread. I expect that any partisan media outlet will lie to keep their audience happy. This includes Huffington. This includes a large percentage of the media - print, broadcast, cable, internet, mimeograph, etc. If you want to believe that Huffington, or Media Matters, or MSNBC, or CBS/ABC/NBC/CNN, etc. always tell the whole truth that's cool. I take them all with a grain - nay, a truckload - of salt.

Geezer, your aparrent "bias" against the truth, from whatever source, is what gets you into hot water in these parts.
I *get* you, others won't as long as you play to create discord.

Troublemaker.

Huh? I agree with Niki that Fox lies. I just expect that other partisan media, such as Huffington, will lie as well. I expect that any partisan media will either spin, distort, or outright lie. So I'm showing bias against liars?

Yep.
You constantly *SEEM* to side with liars more than truth-seekers, no matter how "biased" those truth-seekers seem to be.
Sorry.

P.S.- there is NO non-partisan media. Filter it, analyze it, & come up with the truth.

Meaning you consider Fox liars and Huffington truth-seekers? There's plenty of folk out there who believe the reverse. I look at them both with distrust.

Well, Duh. But there are levels. PN vs. BBC, for example.

That's much closer to reality than the reverse.

No, Geezer, I think YOU aren't reading what others are saying. We got that you accept Fox lies. What YOU're not getting is that Fixed News lies, lies a lot, PLANS to lie, and I for one don't believe it happens anything LIKE as often with other media like Huffrington, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, PR, the networks, etc.

Yes, I believe in taking everything with a grain of salt; but there's a biiig difference between bias and deliberate manipulation of the news so as to be a blatant falsehood--not that "unblatant" falsehoods are any better, but I maintain that, tho' slanted in some cases, deliberate lies aren't part of other media like they are at Fixed News, where they are an accepted staple.

In other words, as you said "PN v. BBC", the point I'm/we're making is Fox News v. EVERYONE ELSE.

If there are plenty "out there" who believe other media lie, I'd be grateful for some cites so I can go and look for myself. I appreciate knowing when a source is deliberately lying to me...but I have a strong suspicion those you hear claiming they lie are Fox viewers, convinced of the fact by Fox.

Niki, you're beating your head against a wall here. Geezer *believes* he's being neutral and un-biased, above all such concerns like an alien observer. But his very involvement in our society precludes such Star-Child-like objectivity, and therein lies his disconnect. He means well, he really does, however his sin is PRIDE.

Just making a point; how anyone takes it is beyond my responsibility. I have actually agreed with Geezer in the past, but when it comes to the blatant dishonesty of Fixed News, and the effect I think they've had on discourse in this country lately, well, sometimes feels good to just
