Fox and Friends

[HouseDivided]

If you want actual well-written news articles, I suggest NPR. At the very least, it’s reported in a neutral tone devoid of attitude or aggression.

But as for me, I prefer my news to be leggy bimbos and Ken dolls shouting about manufactured outrage.

NPR is definitely better-packaged, but if you honestly think it is not agenda-driven, you are being fooled as much as the average Fox News junkie.

Comparing Fox to any other "news" source is ridiculous.

Every now and then NPR will have a comment that sounds like the author has some axe to grind.

But I dunno if that’s quite the same “agenda-driven” tone as Fox News.

also bear in mind, one is nonprofit public radio that funds itself with listener-supported tote bags, and one is a for-profit cable network that funds itself with advertisements for boner pills.

The agenda is to attract donors. The donors tend to take pride on either thinking their news source is less biased, or have the "liberal elitist" mentality. Thing is, at least one of those groups would not respond well if the network was regularly failing fact-checks. Same can't be said of fox and msnbc viewers.

I don’t disagree with most of that, but you can’t honestly believe that the aging hippies and newly-graduated Ivy League neo-socialists working for NPR don’t have their own phenomenological filter and agenda driving their work.

Hey, you sound EXACTLY like the folks at Fox News.
Unbiased to the core!

“phenomenological” is an awful big way of saying it’s Fake News.

So, acknowledging that every human being on the planet has an inherent bias is, in fact, biased?

Your cute little thing you do where you intentionally misspell words.
It puts us all in our place....reminds us that you do so with the sole purpose of making all the rest of us realize how intellectually superior you are.

Very endearing.

Nice to see you back where you are most safe, clinging tightly to DC's teat.

For the record I’m a big fan of lulzapalooza.
