Fox News is Not News

Today in the information age there are many sources of information, Fox News is not one of them. There is little to no news on Fox News. There is a lot of opinion about certain news topics, but no real news. It is a very conservative station that ridicules all things liberal and progressive. For a station that’s slogan is “Fair and balanced,” Fox News is anything but. The station’s programming mainly trash talk against Liberals, and anyone who doesn’t fit Fox’s Idea of how things should be. They should change their name to Fox Opinion.
When watching Fox News one is reminded of Beavis and Butthead. Most of that show consisted of Beavis and Butthead talking trash about music videos. Fox News does the same with politics. That’s not what news is supposed to be. News is supposed to inform its audience about what is going on around the world. If it doesn’t it is editorial, or opinion. Fox does more to misinform it’s audience than inform them. Fox news has been the source of many political rumors, mostly aimed at liberals, In particular President Obama. The Untrue “fact” about Obama spending more in his first year than Bush spent in his whole presidency, or the one about death panels for granny were both started by Fox News. I have heard more facts on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and they call themselves fake news.
What is most disturbing is that Fox News is slamming the Occupy Protests, a movement tat 70 percent of the U.S. population is in favor of. This does not surprise me since Fox News detests the Arab Spring. This would make one think that Fox is against Freedom and democracy. Fox claims that the Occupy Wall street protestors are a bunch of Jobless uneducated dirty hippies. Fox News is more about opinion and spin than it is about facts. Facts By the way are almost non-existent in its reporting. Fox News is not news.
