FOX News Channel Statement on 'Outfoxed'
Fox News ^ | 7-12-04
Posted on Mon Jul 12 2004 17:23:17 GMT-1000 (Hawaiian Standard Time) by bellevuesbest
Monday, July 12, 2004 Any news organization that thinks this story is legitimate is opening itself to having its copyrighted material taken out of context for partisan reasons. The illegal copyright infringement actions of Moveon.org in cooperation with the New York Times, including “cutting a deal” not to give FOX News Channel adequate time to react, is unprecedented. The New York Times corrupts the journalistic process by taking orders from a George Soros-funded web site – Soros is a left-wing billionaire currency speculator who funds many liberal efforts. This is the real story. If any news organizations decide to make this an anti-FOX News story, then all of their material becomes fodder immediately for possible out of context and biased documentaries. The former low-level FOX employees are hardly worth addressing. Some of the “sources” for this documentary never worked for FOX News Channel. Some left because of incompetence, and none expressed concern about editorial policy while employees. They represent fewer than 10 employees out of 2,000 over 8 years. Any news organization that believes this story is big and FOX News Channel is a problem will be challenged by FOX News Channel in the following manner: If they will put out 100 percent of their editorial directions and internal memos, FOX News Channel will publish 100 percent of our editorial directions and internal memos, and let the public decide who is fair. This includes any legitimate cable news network, broadcast network, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post.

Alright. Fine. So here's what I am hoping will happen. I hope the libs run with this flick and Murdoch in turn takes them to the cleaners publically in a big way. Turn lemons into lemonaide so to speak. I also hope that Fox News rounds up all of their current ex-CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al, employees and allows those people a forum to tell the real story about working for those liberally biased networks. As I understand it they have some dooseys to share.

The left is embarking on a path that leads to the ash heap of history. Propaganda that is designed to distort the facts in a political debate is what gave rise to Adolph Hitler and every other third world despot who enslaved their people.
All Americans should rise up against these people

Nice try, but Roger Ailes thinks these guys wouldn't create fictional memos for "comparison purposes." C'mon Rog, get with it already.

Yeah, I noticed that too. When I clicked 'post', I got a screen that indicated FNC must be excerpted and gave me a button to automatically excerpt so I clicked that and up came the entire article. Perhaps, the short length of the article is the reason and a mod would want to fix that.

Amazing how Fox drives the lefties berserk. The very idea that some dissenting approach should get out there is life-threatening to them. I note that no violence is permitted in posts, so therefore I will refrain from giving my opinion on options for dealing with the mainstream press.

Not only that, but Fox viewers I would hazard a guess, are more fiercely loyal to Fox than say a CBS viewer. A CBS viewer watches the CBS news usually because A. They only have an antenna or B. It is what comes on after the local news they prefer. People watch Fox because they really want to. That loyalty will end up hurting moveon. They are preaching to the choir with this.

FOX is the #1 News Network. They can report anything they want.
They can go totally right if they want, and become another Rush Limbaugh to the world. CNN is a Communist News Network, and the nation could use a more right leaning network simply for balance. FOX should lean more to the right to make the media fair.
The Democrats should be careful who they attack. FOX could hit them hard by simply reporting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about Democrat tactics 24/7. Right up until November.
The nation loves FOX, and made it #1. The Democrats are attacking the American peoples choice this time.

Yep. A fish is unaware that it is surrounded by water, and the press is unaware of how far left it is because they only work with like-minded people. They are also sanctimonious and regard themselves as some kind of priestly caste.

That might not be the case. And that might be why they are so intent upon trashing FOX. They know they have an agenda, not entirely shared by FOX. And so FOX is a threat to that biased and liberal agenda. And they are aware of that. That's why they . . go . . after FOX.

I really don't think FOX viewers will care what these kooks have to say. FOX is good. People like it. They'll simply keep watching anyway.
This tactic won't hurt FOX. It'll probably up their ratings if anything.

The sad fact is, that far too many "Americans" are buying the BS being pitched by the left....
Our Government Schools, Teacher's Union, Leftist Educrates and the "media" have sufficiently dumbed down the population where we are doomed to repeat history --- because the silly bastards coming out of our schools haven't been taught history or an appreciation for the uniqueness of America...
Frankly - I don't see how the country could survive a Kerry/Edwards administration...

We all know what happens when that fish is pulled out of the water, now don't we. He flips and he flops, he gasps and he chokes. Then he is still, the fight gone out of him. I think it's called "the death throws". Quite appropriate of the left, dontcha think?

This is how this all works:
The press deludes itself into thinking it is the 'mainstream', ala the center.
Fox News, being at the real center/balanced position is therefore 'right wing' because it is to the right of the 'mainstream', which any rational being would see as being on the left.
The old joke used to be call someone 'to the right of Ghengis Khan'. Now, though, the press is to the left of Nickolai Lenin.

There doesn't need to be. There's another way to dig up all those internal memos. It's called "the discovery process". Sue 'em, Fox! In fact, wouldn't it be delicious to see a class action suit against CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NY Times, LA Times, Wash. Post, Time and Newsweek for having an unfair consortium on news coverage, proving that they are not actually competitors at all but merely inbred propaganda organizations of the same ideology with the intent on limiting competition and monopolizing public opinion? Even if you lose the suit, the insider info would reveal all sorts of dirty laundry and incestuous relations.
Go fo it, Fox! We must defeat the evildoers!

Here are my thoughts on the subject.
What you have here is a bunch of soreheads who simply do not like that Fox News unlike a lot of it's competitors doesn't present liberal or progressive viewpoints as representing neutrality. Apparently, if you don't present the news in this way, you're not a legitimate news organization.
The reality whether anybody wants to accept it or not is people are getting sick and tired of liberal and progressive viewpoints being presented as representing neutrality. They want change and there is no way they're going to accept this kind of reporting anymore.
Fox News is the most watched of all the TV news organizations broadcast and cable. That's not going to change and no Democrat party or movon.org hack movie is going to change people's attitudes or choices about where they get their news.
If I as a news and information consumer want to watch Fox News or listen to Newstalk Radio or get my news from Free Republic, that's my own business and nobody else's Where I and ther people get our news should be left up to us and not these Bill Clinton types.
I for one will not vote for or coooperate with any politician or anybody else that has a problem with me getting all my news from Fox News or Conservative talk radio or the internet. These idiots are no friends of mine and they're certainly not my neighbors.
Regards.

This is a media war which will be a pleasure to watch unfold. The Left doesn't know what they are getting themselves into. Any exposure of their agendas will slowly wake up the public to what has been going on for over half a century.

I just found out this turd is already available on DVD! I thought this was supposed to be a theatrical release. All this attention for some straight-to-video garbage? It's funny, they laugh at the lawsuit Fox News threatened against Stuart Smalley. I laugh at this lame "action" in the war on Fox News.
Heh. In another forum, this guy was trying to illustrate Fox News bias by saying, "O'Reilly - fair and balanced? No, it's propaganda!" Heh. If someone can't even tell the difference between an opinion show and news. . . .
