It is deeply detrimental to the longterm interests of democracy when Democrats praise and support FOX News. This would be true regardless of who that Democrat is, but it's particularly heinous when Terry McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is singing their praises.

"Let me congratulate FOX," McAuliffe said this past week, "because you were the first ones to call [the Pennsylvania primary] for Hillary Clinton." McAuliffe, who is also chairing Clinton's Presidential committee, actually echoed the FOX mantra by calling them "fair and balanced." What is so dangerous about McAuliffe's praise is that FOX is now using his words as a TV ad to prove just how fair and balanced they are. The rest of us know the truth.

Jonathan put together this video as a reminder of how exceedingly unfair and imbalanced FOX actually is. These are just few gems to let McAuliffe and others know that FOX is the foe, has always been the foe, and will continue to be the foe of accurate reporting.

Please help us in this quest by sharing what you think have been the worst FOX moments in the comments section below. We will send the list to McAuliffe as a firm reminder that he must not applaud FOX!

NOW... Bill O'Reilly is sighting Hillary Clinton & Terry McAuliffe as saying "FOX News is the FAIREST of all the networks". He says this during his coverage (SPIN) of the The National Conference for Media Reform. Democratic candidates should STAY OFF of FOX News. It is not real journalism and it's not 'fair and balanced'.

If the media is so liberal how come they did not call the administration out on all the lies about Iraq? At least CNN and others try to be neutral, but Fox doesn't even pretend. CNN is not the one who is calling people "un-American" because they have different viewpoints. I truly wonder how Fox supporters think that this kind of polarizing talk is going to solve anything in this country.

This is the most ridiculous attack I have ever seen from the liberal left media. These excerpts show someone bashing Clinton or Obama, but what is fails to show is the Democratic strategist who is also in the studio or on the split screen. FOX is a threat to democracy...no, I say the leftist media and thier intent to shut down any criticism of their policies and candidates is the bigger threat.

I saw your little promo film on youtube and it is highly edited. Fox shows both sides yet you edited out the side you did not want shown so you can make fox look bias. You could do the same with CNN with enough interviews and footage editing but I don't see that from you because they may support the same cause or candidate as you. Do you guys actually watch fox news? I think it is quite possible that because the network news media has been so liberal in recent decades that once a non-bias news organization comes on the radar, it seems to you that it is extremely bias because you are not getting the complete and exclusive ear candy you are used to. You may not even know that is what is happening. You should also look in to getting a link from Barak Obama's wesite to your website. I guess it is okay to delve into Hillary Clinton and John McCain's lives but we cannot do so with Obama because it may be construed as racism. Give me a break. You want the end of racism, we treat him as we do all political contenders in this era and dig and dig. He is not immune just because he is black, the Presidency does not adhere to affirmative action policies. You actually have to get the best score to get it. On second thought, maybe the administrators of this website are intelligent. You have obviously taken a conclusion you want to make and chosen material to support it, and targeted a gullable and already racially charged audience to take advantage of supporting your vote tally. Kudos, you've successfully once again raped the american black man and women of individual thinking and of voting for what is best for them. You should be ashamed.

I AGREE THAT FOX "NEWS" IS THE MOUTHPIECE FOR BUSH AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO SPIN A STORY WITH OPINONS AND HALF TRUTHS TO RUN THEIR AGENDA. NEWS IS JUST THAT GIVE THE PUBLIC UNBIASED FACTS ON EVERY STORY. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF PRESENTING NEWS TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. THIS ALL STARTED IN THE 70S WHEN THE NETWORK CORPORATIONS CHANGED ITS POLICY TO RATINGS AND A BOTTOM LINE. THEY DEMANDED THAT ITS NEWS DIVISIONS WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE PROFITABLE AND THE ENTERTAINMENT FACTOR WAS SLOWLY ADDED IN FOR RATINGS AND ADVERTISERS REVENUE. NETWORK NEWS USED TO JUST REPORT WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY. NOW ITS SHOWBIZ.....ANNOUNCERS THAT SOUND LIKE THE TRACTOR PULL IS ABOUT TO START OR ANY OTHER VOICE FOR EFFECT IS USED....GRAPHICS AND SOUNDS ACCOMPANY EVERY DETAIL OF DIALOG ENHANCED ...CRAWLS AND ALL THIS DISTRACTION DUMBS US ALL DOWN TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS ABOUT EVENTS IN THIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD. WE NEED SIMPLE FACTUAL NEWS NOT MONEY DICTATING OUR INFORMATION STREAM.

I wanted to steal a quote from one of these patriotic journalists that you were slobbering over. If the Democratic Party is anti-American, I think a Democrat fawning over them for sure is anti-American. These people are just a hair below Michael Savage. These disgusting things said by the whimps that have never done a thing for humanity about people that have worked almost all their lives in public service is truly un-American, and reeks of the facism of the thirties & forties.

Terry YOU & Hillary Clinton should be ashamed....

This comment is late in coming because I have been working every day long hours just to pay the rent and keep afloat -- now I have a couple of minutes because I cannot sleep. I am disgusted about the pandering of the Clinton camp to the worst of so called journalistic media -- FOX. FOX contributes more to the dumbing down of America, the fostering of divisive idealogy, and manulistic hateful and snide from their commentators. FOX sells hate and prejudice and half truths (or non-truths). I will never support any or buy product advertised on that channel. The Reverand Wright avalanche is thoroughly despicable. If any thing is "un-American" it is certainly FOX. Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves to see what depths and slime the have sunk to.

Demetris commented 2 months ago:

It sickens me to the core to realize just how far FOX would go to corrupt this election; much like how Doug Christie a.k.a. Rush Limbaugh runs his own immoral campaign against a fair election campaign. However, it saddens me to think that the very mention of differences according to race (or maybe class) would pull such hostility from our souls. Make no mistake; the reason why this story dominates FOX news is that Rupert Murdoch knows that much like sex, hate sells. He also knows that the accusation is more important than the explanation or the truth; the accusation introduces doubt. This is the reason why Obama is slipping in the polls… not due to his stand on anything pertinent, but simply because he and his wife were members of a church where the Pastor made divisive statements. My choice of the word “divisive” in describing his words is probably the main problem in America regarding race: Blacks and Whites sometimes see things differently. Someone else might listen to the bulk of Reverend Wright’s words and see pure racism: while I personally do not. Now I will say that I haven’t heard all of Reverend Wright’s sermons, however I have attended enough churches to realize that the Pastor usually speaks of the concerns of his “flock” or congregation. For instance, a white congregation would think that the invention of a disease to exterminate a group of people would seem preposterous (the accusation surrounding AIDS); however, when those in the black community remember the actions involving the “Tuskegee Syphilis Study,” a preposterous sounding story would gain validity.

It is sad that we still live in a racially polarizing land; however, it doesn’t have to be an ignorant one. There’s nothing wrong with asking a question regarding a situation, instead of accepting a lie or a half-truth. If we gain wisdom from situations instead of falling for the race trap laid by FOX and their ilk, this country would be far more understanding and far less hostile.

I never watcehd Fox till now! Since all the bias media is only working for Barrack Husseyin Obama, I started being a fan of Fox.
Barrack Obama still is sucscribed to the Trinity Church of Crist and Jeremiah Wright's ideology is still spreading at that church bulleten! Who does Obama think he is kidding by getting on TV and telling people he cut off his relationship with the Rev. WRIGHT???
Why than Obama is still a member of that church?
Can you please tell me?
The church printed anti-semitic anti-Israel newsletters after Rev Wright left the church and Barrack Obama still belongs to that church!!!
FOX NEWS is doing a fair job!
GO FOX!

I ama Hillary supporter and am thankful to FOX! The real problem is the MSNBC! The place to be for all kinds of lies and propoganda for barrack Obama! A bias media!
What are you talkng about? MSNBC made me a republican and I will cast my vote for John McCain if that man Obama gets this nomination! Even his own pastor Rev Wrong was right to call him, just a politician! hat change and different type of politics he is taklking about? He can make those 19 year old kids belive but not the majority of the American people!
It was ok, for Obama to listen to his pastor for 20 years , It was ok to hear God damn America, We deserved 9/11 and he stayed at the church but it was NOT ok when Rev Wright said he is just a politician and harmed his campaign, all of a sudden he was wrong???
Obama is a phony and a liar!
Thanks to Fox we are learing about him everyday more and more!

Uggh! I am a Hillary supporter but these increasingly occuring moments where she and her hinchmen/women suck-up to whomever they think will help her candidacy is truly repulsive. Obama has shown time and again that he can rise above the cesspool of politics. I'm starting to re-think my options.

Oh, somebody call the wah-mbulance... Give me a break. Fox broadcasts with a right wing perspective. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN even PBS are all ultra left wing.

Why is it that if there is one non-liberal media outlet, it's the only one that is "unfair," "unbalanced" and "inaccurate"? I'm glad there is at least the one out there that doesn't just shove the liberal rubbish down America's throat. If it is sometimes noticibly leaning to the right, at least it's great see that the liberal news media doesn't completely monopolize the industry.

Alessan commented 2 months ago:

Fox for the most part is not fair and balance when
it comes to politics and the Democrats. In the beginning of the Presidential race, John Edwards
would not agree to a debate on Fox, most other
Democrats also agreed.

Since John Edwards suspended his campaign, I guess all bets were off. First I noticed Dennis K do an interview, then Hillary Clinton, I think
Bill Richardson did also. Rupert Murdock has contributed to Hillary's campaign. I don't know if he has contributed to Barack Obama's campaign. But last weekend he agreed to appear for an interview with C. Wallace, ending his standoff.

It seems the two Presidential candidates are now
agreeing to appear because they feel they need more exposure, and Fox gets more viewers than CNN MSNBC, so I guess they feel it's worth the Fox spin they will get on their appearances. However, I do feel, that the other cable stations
aren't much better when it comes to fair and balanced. They don't report the news non-bias, each gives their own opinion on the issues they are reporting on, so I yell at the screen and the pundits, when not occasionally writing a reply on their blogs.

Fox is a rag, like the NY Post, purely tabloid. and every tervn

Phil Simmons commented 2 months ago:

FOX NEWS incitement to hate and fear the Senator from Illinois, is pernicious and could have terrible consequences.
As they continue to pump their toxic drivel into the airways,
some minds are going to be overcome. Some people will be persuaded that the senator really is the enemy within.
What if an American, so convinced, were to do what he or she saw as their patriotic duty ...and take matters into their own hands ? What if this model American were, with God at their side and a gun in their hand take aim at Senator Obama ?
What will FOX NEWS say when the assassin points their finger at
fair and balanced FOX NEWS.
I think that all of us who support Obama,s bid for the White House share a deep fear that he may meet the fate as Lincoln,
the Kennedys, and King. Should this occur, FOX NEWS will be able to take much of the credit for creating the atmosphere
in which such a thing could happen and the ensuing turmoil into which
this country would collapse as a result.

Reek commented 2 months ago:

I don't watch Fox, except as a captive audience as briefly as possible where I work out, because the vast majority of their "moments" are ugly and vicious. Unfair and Unbalanced speaks much more to what they are about, and I would suggest that once we have a Democrat in the White House, no Democrat ever grace their little cesspool with an appearance or interview. McAuliffe is pandering to the worst possible crowd, and Hillary is too with her support for McCain's "gas tax holiday" idea. How absurd. Are we not in enough debt already?

We Need To Win commented 2 months ago:

FOX is a despicable mouthpiece for the reactionary right-wing. No surprise there. BUT!

Reverend Wright is divisive and racist. In his speech to the NAACP, his whole theme was “different does not mean deficient.” He talked about how blacks and whites were “different” in everything from language to music to religious worship. He even imitated the sharply different styles ofcollege marching bands. Michigan State, he demonstrated, simply did not “move” on the field the way the Grambling Band did.

Now I wonder what that was supposed to mean! The inescapable answer is that a band that is comprised mainly of African-Americans has better rhythm than a predominantly white band does. That not a racist and divisive comment? Can you imagine the outcry if a Clinton supporter said the same thing? I supposed the basketball analogy is next?

Keith Blobberman...Is that a real name? Despite Rev.Wright's oh so obvious failings, he does make a point. African Americans have plenty to be bitter about. Just check out David Duke's web site. (And don't forget to search for the articleswritten by Ron Paul when you go there!)

What disturvs me is the grade school playground bully attitude of the folks on Fox. Barack HUSSEIN Obama... Did Bill O'reilly pick his own middle name? He didn't have the "super cool" American flag pin! John McCain doesn't wear one all of the time either. He's connected to a member of the SDS that was most active when Senator Obama was in elementary school! So what! I was a member of the SDS also.
As Fox has proven, you can't go wrong by pandering to the lowest common denominator.

humanist commented 2 months ago:

@Keith Blobberman: Carol Ann Boris appears to have it more-or-less spot-on. I'm also white, but my views are more in line with Rev. Wright's than just about anyone in the political "mainstream." Some of what he says may be nonsense, but a lot of the rest points to some pretty ugly truths that many Americans need to hear, even if they don't want to. Kinda like how a lot of white racists in the 60s needed to hear that segregation was immoral.

Carol also manages to be consistently coherent, whereas I still can't decipher half of what you said.

@JAY JOHNSON: Too true. (When and IF, anyway, though I agree it seems likely).

Carol Ann Boris commented 1 day ago:
The Rev. Wright is funnier and more entertaining then the boring Fox News Team. I am a White Woman, and find nothing offensive about Rev. Wright; much of what he says about some issues are very true. We have a government consisting of mostly hypocrits; unfortunately too many Americans cannot see that the media is the cause of slandering Obama and Pastor Wright. They are the ones who started most of this bad press. John McCain is an old bore, and where did Hillary Clinton go to church; she never says. She would probably wear a Yamaka when trying to get Jewish votes, dress up like a nun for the Catholics, and fall to the floor for the Evangalists. Fox and CNN get off Rev. Wright's case already and let Obama run his election. People rather tune in to watch him then Hannity and O'Reilly. They are like two boring old ladies in rocking chairs.
====================================================================================================
You're not very smart are you? So you believe the rhetoric that Wright is polluting the airwaves for his own ego boost? And what does your race and sex have to do with anything? You're probably black, posing as white any ways. What about the 10,000 square foot house Wright is building in the middle of a white neighborhood, and the $10,000,000 credit he has? I hope your trailer burns to the axles, and your 16 inch black and white TV is destroyed, so you can't watch HeeHaw anymore.

Terry McAulliffe, what's wrong with you? You thugs are supposed to hide your true colors!

Let's not talk about Hillary bomb-bomb-bombing Iran as she promises to do, we need to look into this "deeply disturbing" Rev. Wright stuff!!!

Frankly, though, I became a Democrat thanks to Fox News. I used to be Republican and watch Fox News exclusively, but then "we" invaded iraq, and it stretched into years, and the horror of thie mistake became obvious, worse than my worst fears, and flag-draped coffins were supposed to be kept HIDDEN, and the twisted logic got more convoluted by the day, and I hungered for Iraq war reports and Fox News wasn't showing any, but the other channels were. So I changed channels. And learned a LOT. So thanks, you openly, unapologetically EVIL, lying socioapaths and monsters, for that, at least.

What is interesting about Foxnews is where they receive their information from. The paper Washington Times is a major contributor to Fox's reporting. What people don't know is who the publisher of that paper is-Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church.
