Fox News has proven they can lead. They managed to promote a "grassroots" "Tea Party" and some half million people attended? If they can get people to protest something like a fictional Tax increase when in fact 95% of us got a tax break they must be either doing something right or the people who watch are easily lead. Are people that follow Fox News just like sheep being lead by a shepherd?
Fox News had 170 clips and mentions before the actual Tea Parties took place. Is this fair and balanced?
 
Yes because they are partial and no bias.
They do give the news just like it is.

Fair & balance.

With respect toward any other political party.

Yes they managed to cover the Tea Party.
Thanks Fox I watch it every single day is where I get my news.


I am proud of the people that was at the tea party's because it was protest against what they think is wrong and is for the people by the people.
 
First Place: higher taxes were not the primary reason for the protests on April 15. Excessive spending and an ever growing government were the real reasons. The fact that Obama continues to spend and borrow and rapidly increase the deficit to levels only imagined in the past helped those protests to grow.

Second place; the wrong and partisan reporting by CNN, ABC. CBS, NBC, and MSNBC, probably did more to motivate the size of the crowds than did FOX News or any Conservative talk show host. The sheep don't watch Fox. The sheep however are led by CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS.

Third: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the rest had no mention of the "tea parties" prior to the events, then tried to paint all the attendees at every "party" as an extremist, and a racist. Would you care to tell me where the fair and honest reporting is in that?

Fourth and finally; I have yet to see a tax break. The $13.00 per week is not a tax cut. At the end of the year, that money will have to be reported as income. We get to pay taxes on it one more time. There are also other taxes we pay besides income taxes.

What has happened to tobacco and alcohol taxes? What does Obama want do with the current gasoline tax? What about the "Cap and Trade" taxes? What about every other tax we pay? If a tax has not been increased yet, there is a plan to increase it. There also plans to create new taxes, such as "Cap and Trade". So where is this big tax break? I don't see it?
 
If that is the case, it would be fair to say the other news networks are the leaders of Idiot's.
 
Considering the tea parties were not about any political parties, I would say yea that is fair and balanced. You and people like you who are still viewing these events with such bias are the ones who are being led as sheep.
 
I watch Fox News because it's the only news channel I have watched that shows more than 1 side to a story. Even people who didn't believe nor support the "tea parties" watched Fox News.
 
Funny apparently you have never been to an Obama rally...Obama Obama Obama...It was actually very creepy! As far as 95% of us that pay taxes getting a tax cut....Those tax cuts won't mean a thing with out our jobs...The top so called 2% of the "rich" tax payers that Obama is targeting are the ones that employ us...And for those of you who say it is mainly small business that employ us...You are correct however those same small businesses qualify for Obama tax hike right down to your local grocery store...Who do you think they will pass those expenses off to? You and I of course.........

Last year my husbands employer let everyone know that due to the economy and the rising cost of every thing that they were unable to give out raises..yet they would do what they could for them to help ease their own financial crunch(they ended up giving out gas cards that they just stopped doing because they could no longer do it)..What do you think these same employers are going to do when Obama hikes up their taxes? By the way my husbands employer is a family run business that employs about 60 people...There a lot of those businesses out there that will suffer a great fate with higher taxes....

Also speaking of sheep...When Obama asked at one of his town hall meetings who here makes 250,000 or more...no one raised their hand...Yet no one said "Well gee Senator I work for a company that makes more than that so what would become of them??" It is all about thinking out side of the Obama box try it sometime...
 
Even though I'm still waiting for your apology, yes, Fox News preys on the gullible. I give my in-laws as an example. They watch Fox 24/7...even fall asleep to it at night. Scary. My father-in-law now sees his Dem leaning off-spring as Anti-Americans and never fails to 'lecture' us about how Obama is a Marxist/Socialist/Communist.

Do I need to add that he's in his late 80s and needs O2??
 
Have you actually seen that tax break? Is it now in your paycheck? How are you spending that massive $13 a week? Buying a new car,flat panel TV,New home? Fox news has become the leader by honest news, they don't have the likes of Chris "tingling legs" Matthews or Keith Olberman who basically make it up as the go along.It's funny how many complain about Fox news I will bet most have never watched Fox, they are just repeating what the liberals have trained them to parrot.Time to think for yourself if you can, think about this concept. You are taking a pay cut at work, in order to offset the loss in salary you spend more money on your credit card . How long will that work? How is that different than spending a trillion dollars to offset a recession? You can't spend your way out of debt.
 
How can 95% of the population get a tax cut when 40% of them don't pay taxes? All the other networks are clearly liberal, so who is easily led and who is really breaking from the herd. It is extremely fair and balanced, they have people on both sides of issues on and actually have debates.
 
You've never held a job, have you?

Not hard to tell, eh?

Don't worry..... you're not going to lose your Welfare Check.
 
Let's ask Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite.

Let's ask Katie Couric or Barbara Walters or Rachel Maddow.

Let's ask CBSNBCABCCNNNYTWAPOLAT.

Who were you taught to hate?

It's clear you were well taught.

Who lead you to such a sorry state?

For it's clear what a sorry state you are in.

How do you feel about Bush, about Cheney, about Palin?

Who taught YOU those feelings?

What moloch have you offered your children too, in his brassy hands as hot as coal to be burnt?

Or more likely you have no children. Isn't that the case?

Why care for the next generation?

YOU want it now!

Who taught you?
Who lead you?
Who walks you to such a cold grave?

For black and cold is your heart, as dead as a roadkill on a cold night frozen, run over by the zeitgeist of the beast -- the media you call your cherished.

To judge that is by your postings!
 
"Are people that follow Fox News just like sheep being lead by a shepherd? " - very much so, even GOP congressmen and senators.
On the other hand, they could not prevent Obama's victory despite all their attacks and lies. Today, they are more like a consolation for morons...lol
 
You've got to be kidding. MSNBC, CBS and CNN, plus the liberal newspapers were able to accomplish the election of Barack Obama, after he was exposed as "naive" for not knowing what was going on reverend wright's church, or in his neighborhood (William Ayers), to say nothing of his birth certificate scandal.

The left-wing media manipulated Obama into the White House. Please try to be unbiased and really look at what's going on out there. Our country depends on it.

And by the way, Fox didn't think of the tea party idea, they just got involved.
 
1) Fox News didn't organize them. They just covered this major event in our history.
2) The numbers were in the tens of millions. Check your facts.
3) Fox is fair and balanced. That says it all.
