All you need to do is watch the Fox News channel to fully understand what I am about to talk about. If just watching Fox’s extremely biased anchors banter doesn't convince you that Fox News isn't actually news, then I’ll refer you to watching a documentary called "Outfoxed", which shows over an hour and a half of reasons why Fox News is basically just right wing propaganda and has absolutely no news value. Fox News Network is terrible... They claim to be "Fair and Balanced" but show an overwhelming bias towards the Republican party in political stories. Fox News even just LIES on its news network. It exaggerates claims, leaves information out, or just doesn't cover entire stories. Fox News solely focuses on the negative things that occur within the Democratic party in the United States.
It’s really sad that a news network would do something like this. If one news network can get away with blatantly lying to its viewers, who’s to say the other news networks aren’t lying as well? It just makes me feel like I can’t trust anything. Fox News should be ashamed.
Now let me say this, there is nothing wrong with biased news shows. I love The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, which are both left wing biased. However, those shows tell people they are biased. They don’t claim to be giving people “Fair and Balanced” news, and they aren’t an entire network. If Fox News wants to be a right winged propaganda network, that’s fine. They just should let people know that the way they cover stories have a right wing view to them, and that some of their facts may be a little exaggerated. It really pains me to know that there are people in this nation that wake up every morning, watch Fox News, and believe everything that Fox News says. And because of that, they have little support for our president because of the exaggerated claims that Fox News has made, and they have little support for Obama’s new policies.
