[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1764230, member: 11636"] That's the point that I was trying to make. Fox is firmly entrenched in the "lamestream" media but everybody seems just fine with listening to what they have to say while denouncing the "lamestream" media all the while. As far the mistake about the NBC thing that's a typo on my part. Your not going to get an argument from me stating that any of the "news" channels are unbiased. I completely agree that the Zimmerman tape has much higher stakes than the other. But Fox wasn't airing the audio as an advertisment. They were airing a doctored audio tape as fact and then presenting opinions and arguments based upon that tape. It's the exact same thing that NBC did with the 911 tape. I'm not arguing that the two are equally bad because one invloves a case where someone lost their life, but it is the exact same fallacy. I just found it interesting that in the same day there were 2 threads posted about so called "news" channels presenting doctored audio tapes as factual evidence and the post about NBC doing it elicited many responses about the "lamestream media" and "sheeple" no one had anything to say when Fox did the same thing. I don't really understand the misleading tactics comment though. And I'm not saying that it has anything to do with Murdoch. I thought everyone knew that the Murdoch family was unhappy with the lack of journalistic integrity of Roger Ailes operation. And I'm not sure why you are questioning my credibility. Are you denying that Fox ran an edited audio tape? Cause I can give you a laundry list of instances when Fox has used doctored, false, or purposely misleading audio, video and images. They are probably the worst offenders. My observation is that I find it interesting that as a collective group we like to decry the mainstream media as a biased and untrustworthy organization while at the same time lapping up everything Fox News spoon feeds us like it is gospel. All the time ignoring the fact that Fox News is the mainstream media and uses the exact same tatics as the other media outlets that we all hate so dearly. I'm not arguing that NBC is better than Fox News. I'm saying that Fox News is just as bad as the rest of them. Please note that I am not commenting on any single person just our overal collective attitude as a whole. [/QUOTE]
