Five ways the mainstream media tipped the scales in favor of Obama | Fox News
1. The Media’s Biased Gaffe Patrol Hammered Romney.......
Here Fox "News" cites Media Research Center analysis as proof. Oddly enough, a quick visit to the link to see what this is all about shows what you might have guessed: Fox's source is biased. The MRC is funded by right wing idealogues and ExxonMobil (hey, they fund Mystery on PBS too? what's that all about.) The link has a banner ad for contributors to get a "Don't Believe the Liberal Media" bumper sticker- how "unbiased" is that Fox "News?" The "Media Research Center" only attacks what they feel as liberal bias in the media. Guess Fox "News" couldn't find an independent source to point to liberal bias?
2. Pounding Romney With Partisan Fact Checking.......
Again Fox "News" cites admitedly biased sources including the MRC that has no credibility. This Fox "News" piece has no links to the actual fact checking websites that also have lambasted Obama when he was "less than totally honest." Fox is stuck in their own bubble, the one that allowed them to believe their side was going to win, perhaps in a landslide. If Fox "News" and their viewers would look at other less biased sites once in a while, they would be well served. FactCheck.org as well as other news outlets like the Washington Post clearly make attempts to be unbiased referees. Fox "News" could learn something from them.
3. Those Biased Debate Moderators.......
The first debate was called by most everybody left, right and center to have been in Romney's favor. Oddly enough, what was that initial comment by Romney about defunding PBS? If Obama really were an old school liberal Commie like right wing nuts say he is, it would be like Obama coming to the second moderator and saying: "I don't believe in free markets, when I'm president I'll nationalize your TV network and you will be looking for another job." Strange way to start out a debate. Fortunately the left isn't nearly as nuts on the whole as the right.
4. The Benghazi Blackout.......
Really, how much do we need to hear about Benghazi? (please note Fox "News" links with the openly biased MRC here again)
5. Burying the Bad Economy.......
Here Fox "News" cites one neutral source, but oddly enough, unlike the MRC, they don't give a link. They point to a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University. Perhaps Fox is afraid some of their readers might go on to read some other actual facts?!
