Fox News three most popular shows devoted less than 7 minutes to the Haitian disaster, focusing instead on more important issues, like advocating for Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown

1. We know Fox News is filth.

But just try to find unbiased reporting on CNN, CBS, NBC, NPR or C-Span. These media outlets are even worse because they pretend to be fair and unbiased while serving as a conduit for right wing (corporate) misinformation.

Faux Noise simply serves as a blatant smokescreen and contrast to the others lending the others credence they do not deserve.

5. come now ... CNN, CBS, NBC, NPR and C-Span are fair ...

they have Joe Lieberman and Ron Paul on to represent the left ...

:sarcasm:

13. ROTFL!

My favorite "unbiased reporting" was when CNN nominated Ed Schultz as one of the top "wingnuts". Not only was it uncalled-for, it also showed how little they know about politics. Lefties, by definition, are NOT wingnuts. Sheesh!

10. So true,thanks

11. NPR and C-Span don't belong...

in the same group with CBS, NBC and CNN. There are no fancy graphics, no wall-to-wall coverage of celebrity melt downs. They provide lengthy, in-depth discussion of serious issues with actual working, career professionals and not just pundits and "analysts." They not only serve as a "conduit for right wing misinformation" they serve equally as a conduit for "left wing" information. I completely agree that Faux Noise is filth.

12. Sorry, I can not agree about NPR.

I have listened to too many daily programs where only the "conservative" perspective was given. And when Juan Williams serves as the lone "liberal" in a group of conservatives how exactly does that differ from Faux Noise?

16. How does NPR differ from Faux Noise?

Seriously? Well for one thing, throughout their coverage of the health insurance reform debate they have presented informed discussion from health care professionals. They have run many stories from the field detailing the experiences of individual Americans with the health insurance "system."

2. Fox News: Nuts, Gnats, Nitwits

Nuts - Conspiracies, victimization, screaming meaningless epitaphs (Socialism! Communism)
Gnats - Constantly bickering about Obama not matter what he does or does not do.
Nitwits - Factually incorrect, baseless assertions, illogical conclusions

3. Two hours a day

Keith Olbermann followed by Rachel Maddow is for the most part, the only media I can handle.......

4. What I noticed today, while channel-surfing the cable news....

was that MSNBC and CNN focused mainly on the human tragedy and humanitarian efforts in Haiti, while FOX was all about outbreaks of violence, young men with machetes, escaped prisoners and the dire need for the American military to arrive with guns.

Maybe it's better for FOX to just not report on Haiti, since their reporting boils down to "Scary, black, poor people on a rampage."

[Enthusiast]

15. "Scary, black, poor people on a rampage."

They were exactly the same during Katrina. Their message is black people are inept, violent, irresponsible, that's why they find themselves in their predicament and President Obama is "one of them". They don't come right out and say it but their message is clear. It is obvious that Fixed Noise is racist.

6. Rush Limbaugh probably could buy Haiti ...

that would keep him hip deep in young boys ...

7. I watched Fox today -

there was ample coverage on the tragedy.

[zbdent]

14. So ... did they blame it on Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Obama,

Pelosi, or Reid?

8. k&r.
