Fox Biz Fail

Fox Business channel missed the biggest business news story of the day – Warren Buffet buying Burlington Northern – because they were busy running Imus’ show. What a joke.
Michael Arrington Of TechCrunch Lectures On Ethics. LOL.
November 2nd, 2009
No Comments
So here’s the problem, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch puts himself on an ethics horse lecturing about the shady practices of the companies promoting games on social networking sites. Now, Arrington may be right on the money here but he is at best a flawed messenger. The guy who published stolen internal documents from Twitter isn’t [...]
If He Says It, It’s Probably A Lie

That should be what you keep in mind every time you hear Fox News amplify whatever Rush Limbaugh says.
And Chris Wallace? Off your knees. It’s just… embarrassing.
Obama Doesn’t Take It Like A “Good” Liberal
October 30th, 2009
78 Comments
Sites like Business Insider are angry when the White House does things like rebut Edmunds.com’s take on cash for clunkers. Conservative blogs and Fox News do not like when the White House doesn’t just suck up made up stories pushed by Fox News and conservative blogs. The media doesn’t like pushback, particularly not from Democrats.

At a certain point this becomes like taking candy from a baby. Just nobody tell him about the plan to harvest the organs of conservatives in order to provide fuel for our giant abortion machine.
Oh, damn.

A chart tracks newspaper circulation over the last two decades. Not good.
CNN Fail
October 26th, 2009

CNN is now in fourth place, losing to Fox, MSNBC, and even its sister station HLN. CNN could stake out a place as the fact checker to liberal opinion on MSNBC and right wing opinion on Fox, rather than its current state of pablum… but I doubt they will.
CNN Tries To Woo Latinos, Has Anti-Latino Racist Lou Dobbs Hosting Show
October 24th, 2009
19 Comments
Thankfully latinos are not being fooled about CNN’s relationship with Lou Dobbs:
The hypocrisy, critics say, lies in CNN’s decision to woo Hispanic viewers with a prime-time documentary while still giving Mr. Dobbs a nightly forum. Roberto Lovato, a founding member of Presente.org, a Latino advocacy group, said in a statement, “We won’t allow the network [...]
Fox News Made Up Story About White House Ban

This kind of story is exactly why the White House isn’t interested in treating Fox News like a legit news org. It isn’t one no matter what Jake Tapper says.
Jonathan Martin, Virginia GOP Operative Embedded At Politico?
October 21st, 2009
1 Comment
Ah, smell test.
Martin served on the campaign staff of Mark Earley, the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia in 2001. After Mark Warner was elected Governor over Earley with 52 percent of the vote, Martin relocated to Connecticut to work on the successful 2002 Congressional campaign of Connecticut Republican Rob Simmons. After Simmons assumed office, [...]
Dana Perino: Still Useless
October 21st, 2009

Dana Perino is as useless as a Fox News pundit as she was as the White House press secretary. She claims its the work of dictators to critique the press, but Dana apparently forgot that the red light means the camera was on when she was attacking the press as Bush’s press secretary.

There is no line between daytime “straight” news and evening opinion on Fox. None.

If you thought news orgs like Reuters actually checked press releases rather than just cut and pasting, you would be wrong.

He makes the case really easily in a way you never see on Fox News, and Beck ends the show… QUICK!
GOP.com er… FoxNews.com Manufactures Upset Liberals

Sometimes Fox is probably more transparent in their water carrying for the right than they intend to be. In an article supposedly about liberal “frustration” with President Obama, they quote two specific individuals by name. One is Josh Gottheimer, formerly an advisor to the Clinton administration. Here is Mr. Gottheimer’s searing indictment of President Obama:
“You’re [...]

Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Reality Channel is shutting down, another failed enterprise from the so-called media genius.
Dow Hits 10,000… Fox News Gives Bush Credit
October 14th, 2009
111 Comments
This right wing propaganda was not from what Fox has tried to call its opinion hours, but during what is supposedly straight news. When the Dow is down its Obama’s fault, and when its up? Clearly its thanks to the Republicans.
I can’t imagine why the White House doesn’t see them as legitimate.

Howard Kurtz Enjoys Being Dishonest

Writing about the White House truthfully labeling Fox News as GOP TV, Kurtz writes
Plus, if you look at MSNBC’s lineup after 6 p.m., Fox isn’t the only network that goes heavy on the opinionated hosts.
That of course it the journalistic equivalent of writing that Mrs. Lincoln quite enjoyed the show. MSNBC has a block of [...]
