The Daily Show Proves That Fox News Is Fake News

Here is the Fox "Business" channel which uses misinformation to make money off of people who are misinformed enough to watch their channel (covered here and here)...

HEADLINES - IT'S SHACKLES DAY! JUNE 22, 2005 - Your loud continuous drumbeat of misinformation with Neil Cavuto to premier on Fox News. (2:11) 


Here John Oliver illustrates how Fox News promotes people like dictators (covered here, here and here)...

THE METER IS RUNNING PT. 1 APRIL 10, 2008 - John Oliver shoots his own documentary spotlighting FOX News and its history of journalistic integrity. (6:41)



Here John Oliver demonstrates a typical pundit show, such as Bill O Reilly or Hannity or Tucker, on Fox...

THE METER IS RUNNING PT. 2 APRIL 10, 2008 - John Oliver hosts his own pundit show to demonstrate how FOX News has won the hearts and minds of Americans. (3:44)


This one speaks for itself and shows how well Fox News knows its viewers...

MATT GROENING JULY 18, 2007 Matt Groening was told to stop doing a fake newscrawl on his show "The Simpsons" for fear of Fox News viewers confusing it for the real thing. (5:54)


Fox News starts a fake news show and Lewis Black rightfully points out the a fake news show on something as fake as Fox "news" should have REAL news, THAT would be a novelty...

BACK IN BLACK - NEW MEDIA JUNE 27, 2007 - You know what a fake news show on Fox News should give you? Real news! (4:07)




"Fair And Balanced" is the Fox News way of saying "we are gonna lie to you and call it truth" (what do you expect liars to do? Tell you the truth while they are conning you?)...

MOMENT OF ZEN - BUSH IS BUFF APRIL 10, 2008 - FOX News presents fair and balanced coverage about presidential Christmas presents. (0:16)


Of course, attacking your competition is how you gain followers and credibility if you are a Nazi style propaganda channel (its America's number 1 "news" source because of this and no pushback from other media outlets that even comes close to Fox's daily incendiary rhetoric) ...

MOMENT OF ZEN - AMERICA'S NEWS CHANNEL? APRIL 3, 2003 - A Fox News commercial impugns Peter Arnett and MSNBC. (0:20)



Fox is clearly winning at the moment (based on ratings) though there is no reason for it to do so. Having a highly rated site spreading misinformation, in a free market, should be attacked by others (journalists) seeking to make a name for themselves with scalps of liars or just a story reporting deceptions going on on daily TV. That's not happening suggesting the media market isn't free but constrained in some way (such as by mergers and acquisitions).

Basically Fox News is the con man that pretends his snake oil is real medicine and the rest of the media, mostly, stand by and watch the people drink the useless - and often dangerous - medicine.
