2008 Fox News Racism and the election coverage. Is Fox New racist? Tell me what you think?
Using race-baiting, fear and hate mongering for ratings. Hating blacks, minorities, Jews and gays etc. etc. This is not real journalism. Fox News unfair and unbalance. Fox News is for Republicans. I heard NSNBC is for Obama and CNN (Clinton News Network) for for Hillary. Why isn't news bias anymore?
~~I want balance~~
I suggest everyone watch the DVD Outfoxed: Rupert Murdock's War on Journalism.
Check out this YouTube video.

They're far right. Fox is a breathtaking institution. It is a lock, stock and barrel servant of the Republican party, devoted first and foremost to electing Republicans and defeating Democrats; it's even run by a man, Roger Ailes, who helped elect Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush senior to the presidency. And yet, because it minimally adheres to certain superficial conventions, it can masquerade as a "news" outfit and enjoy all the rights that accrue to that.

Of course the far regressive right uses racism and sexism and xenophobia and classism and fear mongering. It's not like they can run on their accomplishments or inspirational ideas.

Fox News is racist. I think they have a new ower. I just to watch Fox back in the day when they had black new casters. Yes. I agree. I believe the owner is racist, sexist and for the Republicans. When a guess doesn't say what they (Fox) doesn't want the public to hear, they will talk over them. They are unprofessional. I watch it to see what Caucasian and some people of color are talking and thinking about. Fox News is racist and hate filled. Most of the fans of Fox are racist themselves. Fox News is for Republicans. Righ Wing smear machine.

Gurl, don't worry about any typos or grammar. All of us have done it. I hate when people try to play like they are better then someone. If you have to put someone down to make yourself feel better, you have low self-esteem. Yes, honey. Fox News is anti-black. They hate blacks and I am learning a new word Liberals. I guess. I am a liberal. That stations tells half truths and lies. I feel anyone likes that kind of craps and think this is real news are racist.

The truthfulness of your post can be gauged by the large number of ultra-conservatives that have come out to defend their favorite network and bash the others. The vitriolic attacks on you for a misspell or typo shows their hatred for anyone and anything that goes against their fanaticism.
How about that one guy that somehow thinks a dislike of onions is the same as a biased news station??! Geez, these people have their panties in a bunch now that they're going to lose the election.
Kudos to you.

Fox News and CNN have been racist networks for as long as I can remember.They make slanderous,racist remarks about minorities,then broadcast racist videos,and when someone complains about it,they fell that their apology should be accepted. Never apologize for something you meant to say or do!. That's what I call having a guilty conscience,and trying to get out of a law suit.

Weak and very hibited to venture into the realm of reality. After all; its a paycheck and a wise person never bits the hands that feeds him. Juan Williams is in the same boat as Combs.

Yes. I hate that station. They are racist and most people who are a fan are racist too. I watch it to see what they are saying about blacks and other minorities, Jews, gays etc. This station is anti-everything. They have change over the years. They use to have black anchors on the station. I guess that got rid of all of them expect Juan Williams. Who is a sellout. The other networks are staying to be just as back as Fox News when it comes to African Americans. There not enough of people of color. I mean African Americans on TV to represent us in a positive light.

Funny your first answerer says it is neo conservative bias. The neos are more liberal than the traditional republicans.
The liberals of today have the same viewpoints as the socialists of the 50s and 60s. The republicans of today are around the same belief as the liberals of the 70s.
True republicans are pro America. There is absolutely no bias toward race, religion, or sex. Those who say hateful and hurtful things live on both sides of the line and are just being selfish and careless in the name of patriotism. And they 're on all the networks.
When someone says something you don't agree with it doesn't mean they hate you. They just have a different viewpoint.
Race will always be an issue because it seems that's the only selfish thing left to argue about.

Well, if Fox broadcasts that type of stuff, you have a big problem on your hands because it's enjoyed the highest ratings in cable news networks for a LONG time.
Look up and down the answer list and tell me who has the most hateful rhetoric?
Why don't you give us a link from the Fox News website? Surely if they're the outspoken race-baiting, fear-mongering, hate-promoters you say they are, they would have nothing to hide! I'm sure the transcripts are READILY available :)
You should put the best answer to a vote.

I watch all the major news cable networks and have found MSNBC to be the most vitriolic, unbalanced of all, most especially the Keith Olbermann program. CNN may have, at one time, been the "Clinton News Network" but that was before Obama came along. They are now in the tank for Obama, along with most of the main stream media. The only program on CNN that is above the fray of Obamania is Glenn Beck's. FOX is the only network that consistently presents both sides, liberal and conservative, which is why I tune in.
