FOX NEWS LIES,,, RACISTS!

I call “116″ in the “Guess how many anti-Fox News troll posts appear in this comment thread” pool.

Wouldn’t be surprised. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if FOX “News” put a map of China up to locate the earthquake.

How is FOX “News” making a mistake anti-FOX “News”? Isn’t it merely business as usual at FOX “News”?

“Matt Stopera writes for BuzzFeed “Shibuyaeggman” does not actually exist.”

“A simple Google search reveals that Stoper is correct. ”

Irony …..So sweet .

Can Dronetek tell us of just what mistakes he is referring to within the last 12 months

As opposed to the strange mistakes by FOX just in the last 3 months?

Maybe they got confused because there was hot fire on the dance floor…..

Just imagine they have the access to a bomb. That is how these phonies would blow the wrong target. This is not the first time they were caught messing things up, they did it last week, and week before with the clean up of the Wisconsin house stuff, etc, etc. Now you wonder how their viewers are not that informed, we know who to blame.

skfet “just imagine they have the access to a bomb”

Yah they might do something stupid like bomb the CHINESE embassy in BELGRSDE.(Bill Clinton)

@ Defender-90,

Yeah I totally forgot about that. Or how about bombing a baby formula factory like Bill Clinton did, or how about those WMDs like the Bush. More proof that the government, regardless of party, is ignorant.

That might be true but he did notice a huge mistake on Colby Halls part. Of course Mediaite deleted the comments because they didn’t want Colby to be embarrassed.

More Liberty3- SO TRUE

This was obviously a plot so that Fox could……well, I’m not sure what they’d get out of it, but I’m sure it was sinister.

Colby, why don’t you write articles that are real news story’s, instead of your crap “gotcha” fox story’s. you real don’t have any other real news articles that are more pressing to write? This website has become a tabloid website.

And you’re a Conservative, a person with Reality Rejection Syndrome.

I have a question for all those who are b*tching about mediaite; Why do you still come here? When I don’t like something I stay away from it. I thought that was a thing with conservatives you don’t like something you simply don’t associate with it, but “liberals try to get rid of it”. I really don’t get it. Please enlighten me.

I actually like Mediaite. Some of the commenters are good sparing partners. I like intelligent debate. Also, I like pointing out hypocrisy regardless of who the writer is.

So just so i understand; if I don’t like something and rather than cause problems for those who do I choose to walk away; I’m quitting and running. So since I don’t like guns I should work to undermine those who do, of course! (by the way, that’s not straw man)

And if anybody knows about quitting and running it’s Sarah Palin…and Newt Gingrich.

@ The Reasonable Lib,

Thanks. I consistently see people making personal attacks, and using fowl language. They don’t get banned, yet I simply point out an area where Colby Hall and Mediaite are possibly guilty of practicing hypocrisy and posts get deleted, people get banned. It’s rather interesting and the screen shots which I’m saving, as well as the links, are interesting as well.

My only point is that those actions won’t do anything. i could see if we were talking about a semi-public entity, but this is a blog site at the end of the day, unless dan Abrams has a higher opinion of you then colby your actions are most likely irrelevant. especially when you consider the sight gets millions of visitors most of which don’t read the comments and even less who comment themselves. I’ll admit I’m guilty of some of that, but surely you can understand how one would get angry of consistently being told that they are destroying America, are un-American, want to take others money, etc etc when none of this is true.

Fair enough, but this is how I see it. Mediaite writes articles about other forms of media posting wrong, misleading, unfactual or questionable content or through nefarious means. I am simple doing the same, but through the comments section. I’m not rich like Dan Abrams or others like him. I don’t pay people to write abut what other people write about. So I’m simply pointing it out on the comment section, taking note, capturing screen shots and just enjoying the harmless back and forth.

So if I can find one example where Palin is brought into a conversation and it’s not done by a liberal does that completely destroy your “argument”?

I don’t understand WHY would Mediaite go to such lengths with this?

Why not a simple update with an explanation and a simple “sorry”?

Haven’t we all learned thru some very painful experience that the cover up is often far worse than the original misdeed?

BTW, who got banned for what reason given and how do you know?

The irony, of course, of the above statements is that they totally fail to recognize their own “complaining,” about FOX News. Apparently, they HAVE to watch and comment about Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, and so on… but don’t understand why anyone else would do anything similar. I wish I could say I was surprised by this lack of understanding… but I’m not.

To answer your question, Reasonable… it’s because there are few media agitators out there, all with their own set of problems. ICN 2.0 doest post as often, J$ has a limited number of commentators, TVNewser is similar but works even less well with my telephone… and so on.

But as Liberty5 said, we do it to fight the good fight. If every time some left-wing ideologue and bully came strutting around, we said, “Forget you guys, I’m going home,” we wouldn’t have movies, television, music, newspapers, and so on. No, we are here to add some balance to the echo chamber.

Of course, this isn’t purely right against left… we’ve seen a number of far-left people post that Mediaite wasn’t far-left enough! You could ask them the same question you posed to us. However, if you think we (or anyone) has to like 100% what’s going on around them, then you’re mistaken.

Now a followup question. Do you approve of Liberty’s censure, and the removal of an article which (apparently) was shown to be completely incorrect? Do you think Mediaite is acting hypocritically, as it would have surely pointed out and attacked another entity (specifically FNC) if that had done similar? Do you stand up for (or against) Liberty’s crusade… and why?

Bull to the shit!!!
First off, yes, I ocmplain about Fox News, but i also don’t watch it save for the occasional clip here. I’m not complaining about Fox News WHILE WATCHING Fox News. I don’t go to The Blaze or Fox Nation to complain about the Blaze or Fox Nation. YOU come to mediaite to complain about mediaite. You are actively committing yourself to the popularity and functioning of a site which you dislike. Do you see the difference? Probably not, you’ll probably continue on with the straw mans.

You offered no suitable explanation there. So you come to a site you dislike to complain about it because it’s the best out there? That’s your reasoning? Then why do you complain? Why do you actively b*tch about a site that you dislike on said sites pages? Because it’s the best and most frequently updated out there?

Actually, INB, Johnny DOES NOT do it.

When J$ deletes a comment or, more rarely simply offensive words or an attack upon another, he always leaves a spot holder with a notation “Deleted by site owner” and frequently an explanation such as “offensive language” or “personal attack”. A far cry from what Mediaite has done here.

A little background on this re Heckman. He has tried repeatedly to circumvent Johnny’s rules on Johnny’s site and has a long sordid history of trying to worm his little wormy self back in if even for a short lived moment of his profanity laced comments to appear.

It should surprise no one here that TRRK, Bovine, little johnny t and Heckman all share that same inglorious history and obsession.

I know, from several blog sites, all of them for 3 to 6 years under various names.

If you have never been the object of their obsessions and the target of their crude, profane vicious attacks, especially upon lady commenters, you can count yourself lucky.

The_Reasonable_Lib said:

So you “ocmplain” (just teasing, don’t get upset) about FNC, but you don’t actually watch it?

So you complain about something you don’t really know anything about… and think that somehow makes it better? Yikes.

I don’t go to The Blaze or Fox Nation to complain about the Blaze or Fox Nation. YOU come to mediaite to complain about mediaite. You are actively committing yourself to the popularity and functioning of a site which you dislike. Do you see the difference? Probably not, you’ll probably continue on with the straw mans.

Well, no. I do not come to Mediaite to complain about Mediaite. I come to Mediaite to read about cable news (and politics, to a degree), and wind up complaining about their coverage. It is almost never my intention to complain about Mediaite from the get-go… but in voicing my opinion about the stories they cover, I will voice my opinion about HOW they cover the stories as well. Is there something wrong with that?

You offered no suitable explanation there. So you come to a site you dislike to complain about it because it’s the best out there? That’s your reasoning?

Please see above. You apparently misunderstood (or made up) my reasoning.

Then why do you complain? Why do you actively b*tch about a site that you dislike on said sites pages? Because it’s the best and most frequently updated out there?

Again, I complain when I believe they are doing a disservice to themselves and their readers. How is that different than complaining about FNC’s coverage? Just because you don’t actually “tell them,” it’s better? It’s better to only complain and discuss in private, away from the people actually involved? How does that make sense? This all sounds like the, “O’Reilly is bad because he asked Obama tough questions to his face,” argument from last month. When did people (most of all people anonymously) become so cowardly?

For a variety of reasons, yes, Mediaite is the best we’ve got at the moment… although “best” really only in certain terms. ICN is more thoughtful and better written, but less frequent. J$ is more civil, and has excellent board moderation (which upsets some people, who can’t quite figure out how to comment without lies, swears, or on-topic conversations). So Mediaite is “best” in a way, but let’s not overstate the case.

Anyway… you answered none of my initial questions, but I’m still eager to learn their answers.

Grammie said:
.Actually, INB, Johnny DOES NOT do it.

Oh I’m aware. But sometimes to get someone like Heckman to answer a simple question, you must ignore part of the blather, or risk getting stuck on something less important. He BELIEVES J$ does it, and that’s not going to change… so the question of, “Is it okay when Mediaite does it, or are they both wrong?” just skips the unnecessary “Nuh-uh,” “Uh-huh” debate it would eventually devolve into.

I’ve asked for an explantaion before but didn’t get a response. I’d love for them to post a set of rules for posting so there is no confusion. I agree it’s their site and they can do what they want, but they look incredibly petty and thin-skinned when they ban because they are called out for hypocrisy.

I am a reader and I don’t give a shit. I have seen articles pulled from FoxNation without explanation. If I don’t like a blog’s editorial content then I don’t visit the blog. It is the same concept as ending a subscription to a newspaper whose editorial content you don’t approve of.

And for the whiners on here I have a suggestion. Start a blog called “Mediaite Watch” and write articles discussing your disapproval of their content and making fun of their mistakes. God knows many of you losers have the free time.

I think we can agree that you are basically a brainstem. Yes? LMAO !!!!!!!

And for the whiners on here I have a suggestion. Start a blog called “Mediaite Watch” and write articles discussing your disapproval of their content and making fun of their mistakes. God knows many of you losers have the free time.

Tell it to the Media Matter’s and Newshound’s fans. Until then, it’s just more, “Stop disagreeing with me” foot-stomping.

Seriously why not start a blog. You are somebody who seemingly has no ambition outside this comment section.

Say’s “same2u” who has been lurking around the comment section (here and elsewhere) for years…

Say’s Nutsofast, who along with his far-left cohorts, attacks FNC daily for being one of only a few outlets that doesn’t repeat the left-wing spin. I guess next time you’re complaining about Beck, the response should be: “BOO HOO.”

And the hypocrisy continues.

I’m surprised no one’s yet noticed that they have Sendai in the completely wrong place too. Graphics fail, maximus. It happens.

There’s plenty of eyeballs right here. Why bother, unless you’ve got ambitions of crazy blog money?

Name them.

You could start with me, because I have admitted I post at News Hounds and Think Progress, but not Media Matters.

I would also ask for you to name Mark Koldys’s love children who come here with their zombie like retorts when Fox fks up and Mediaite reports correctly. I have no idea why Mediaite puts up with you dogmatic idiots.

I have seen the wingnuts insulting personally Dan Abrams and all the way down to new writers just because Mediaite has picked up stories reported on the blue blogs. And Mediaite still puts up with them.

Over at Mark Koldys’s crapper, if you so much dare to talk about the whether and you are on his sht list, out you go.
If one dares to mention an embarrassment at his beloved Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network, out you go.
If one dares to challenge Mark Koldys’s lies, out you go.

Which tells you plenty about Marky.

This whole story, and its subsequent comments, are big piles of fail.

“Dan owes his readers an answer regarding the actions taken on the threads today.
I’ve asked for an explantaion before but didn’t get a response. I’d love for them to post a set of rules for posting so there is no confusion. I agree it’s their site and they can do what they want, but they look incredibly petty and thin-skinned when they ban because they are called out for hypocrisy.”

I don’t think they owe us anything. It’s a private blog with private owners. However, it just shows their own hypocrisy and unprofessionalism. Additionally, I will bring this thread and the subsequent thread up every time Colby writes about similar issues.

The above is the original article. Look at the time stamp of when it was written, and then look at the time stamp of the comments. Mediaite also deleted about half of the comments. All the comments that where deleted discussed the error.

“This, from one of the biggest liars on Mediate- go back to your hole, you lib shill.”

That might be true but he did notice a huge mistake on Colby Halls part. Of course Mediaite deleted the comments because they didn’t want Colby to be embarrassed.

So you and the they hate my guts because I point out the facts, that you all do not like. It’s a badge of honor.

That’s because Sendai Nuclear Power Plant is in Kagoshima Prefec… it’s in the right place.

people are freezing , starving and dying . you fight over some stupid article published by moveon.org ?

J$ has a new piece comparing coverage such as this to the chirp coverage of CNN’s map confusing San Fran and Los Angeles.

As usual, it is great fun to read.
