Fox News, The Voice of The Right

I use to wonder why Keith Olbermann of MSNBC would attack Fox News for its right winged slant but now I understand why.  It seemed hypocritical to me as Olbermann is left leaning and obviously supportive.  However, that’s the key, Olbermann and others on MSNBC are obvious in their support of the left wing or right wing.  That is another important issue.  MSNBC has host that are both leaning to the right and left where Fox News, better called Fox Noise, is solidly right wing and worse, they don’t make it clear.  Instead they report as fact things that are not fact in order to promote the right wing agenda.

Being in the Philippines, I can’t get MSNBC any more.  I get CNN but it is based out of Hong Kong and is more British and World News related than US news.  I can’t get US news unless I watch Fox Noise.  This is what many across the world see of the US.  Some religious friends went to Israel and were concerned about that people through out the world were seeing Fox News as representative of the US.

Last night, I saw an anchor on Fox News state as a fact, that two Freddie Mac employees where advisers to the Obama Campaign.  There source for this is a McCain commercial and has been wildly and loudly disputed by Obama and the former head of Freddie Mac!

My problem with Fox Noise is that they are that, noise.  They are presenting themselves as fair and balanced yet their anchors lean to the far right.  The only way to tell this is from the “facts”  they present.  The woman I saw last night make the statements regarding Freddie Mac employees advising Obama probably didn’t know any better.  She’s pretty, very pretty and has nice legs that she shows off at every chance but she doesn’t strike me as someone on the same intellectual level as Keith Olbermann or any other MSNBC Journalist.  That’s the issue, they are not journalist.  The host on Fox News are talking heads.  They look great but they are vastly under qualified to be making the kind of statements they are making.

Again, my main problem with Fox News is that they don’t make it clear that they are trying to help McCain get elected.  They don’t admit they have an agenda.  They try to influence the public by manipulation of the truth to vote Republican!
