Does fox news lie

Answer 1

Fox News is a subsidiary of News Corps and was created as a Rightwing Propaganda Network. It is owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch, who, until recently has never been responsible for his actions. News Corps actively admits that they are NOT a news organization, but are what is known as a Tabloid News Organization. In other words they contend that they never told anyone that anything they said was factual but was "created for the sake of entertainment", not as a news source. Roger Aisles has had to openly admit that he lies constantly.

A slightly more unbiased answer: I'd be interested to know where the author of the answer above gets his/her data. Although a staunch conservative, I have yet to see where a flat out lie has been told by Fox News or even by the other news networks. I still watch the other Cable News Network and the major news networks to see what their reporting is like. I believe that one gets the idea that a news organization lies based on personal bias and belief systems. No news organization is without bias, it is natural for people to have an opinion.

(FOX News doesn't tell flat-out lies? Sorry, but a major fact-checking organization disagrees with you. PunditFact, a fact-checking arm of the Tampa Bay Times, has compiled a list of 50 outright lies told by FOX News and its associates. I'm not allowed to post the link here (WHY NOT?), but if you go to Google and search with 'PunditFact 50 Fox News Lies', the first returned search result is the one you need.)

Fox News is the first news organization to implement a more conservative leaning perspective on topics of the day, which is completely against the mainstream media. So when people first watch it, it is like a foreign language to them. Many people are also surprised when they learn that our country is not a Democracy, but rather a Constitutional Republic. There is a difference and people think that I am lying when I tell them we are not a Democracy. Unfortunately, its simply the first time they have been told the real truth. Honest truth is sometimes the hardest pill to swallow when you've been spoon fed the opposite for so long. Left-leaning Liberal media bias can be traced back many decades, most especially during the Vietnam Conflict. And until Fox News appeared on the scene, all we knew was the left-leaning perspective from the major news networks. So it was shocking to people when they tuned up Fox News and heard another opinion. As time has gone on, the ratings of Fox News completely destroys the ratings of other networks because there is an alternative.

In watching Fox News, I know when I hear a line that is not completely true, or it is biased. But rest assured, it is not a flat out lie, it is just their interpretation. For everyone, perspective is reality, and the perspective of Fox News is indeed conservative. I enjoy that perspective more than the other networks, but I respect the opinion of others to watch whatever they want to watch. Thinking that Fox News tells lies is simply an opinion. I don't believe that CNN or MSNBC tells lies, I simply believe that they are telling a story that they believe to be true, even if it isn't.
