What are you pulling a Cowardly Lion for? |
I must be confusing the cowardly lion with one of those Warner Brthers or Hannah Barbara cartoon characters.....
| I realize that Fox uses "Fair and Balanced". I do not consider their (Fox's) use of it ironic because they dont't even try to meet those terms. |
And I still fail to see why you think that a journalist writing an article about Fox News' utter lack of journalistic integrity is ironic in light of Diebold, the DNC and Microsoft, none of whom even pretend to be journalists. The article wasn't about liberals whining about conservative nastiness, because counter-examples are a dime a dozen. It was, instead, about a group of self-professed "fair and balanced" journalists - people who should simply be reporting facts - who were caught red-handed changing facts.

When did it become acceptable for journalists to provide only part of a story? When it is the part we want to hear? Fair? Balanced?
Subtle manipulation by exclusion (They bad....) is worse then outwardly saying "They bad, we good".
"They bad, we good" is an obvious unblance. "They bad...." is not.
Now, in closing, I fully appreciate the edit the writer made. I furthermore retract any criticism of the article because they are not political journalists, they are techies with toys who appear (and I hope) to be working on shing the light into all the dark corners. |

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |
