Is it Fox News that claims to be “fair and balanced”?
And “we report; you decide”?
- Maybe this story is just World Net Daily going further off the deep end:
- A Saudi prince who owns shares of the Fox News Channel claims he persuaded network chief Rupert Murdoch to change a screen banner during a broadcast that identified the recent unrest in France as “Muslim riots.”
- During the violent street protests in France one month ago, the prince said, Fox News ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said “Muslim riots.”
- “I picked up the phone and called Murdoch … [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty,” al-Walid said.
- “Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots.”
- During the violent street protests in France one month ago, the prince said, Fox News ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said “Muslim riots.”
If accurate, it sounds like they reported, he decided, and they changed their reporting.
Maybe that’s where “fair and balanced” gets you.
Now let’s have a news source that’s just and truthful.
We may well have to wait for the Millennium for that.
And that may not be such a long wait, come to think of it.
Yeah I read that too…I have to say I am a bit suspicious of the source however you never know. I do know that FOX doesn’t censor all such comments as Hannity and even Oreily will tell it like it is…most of the time…. Of course take your pick of the alphabet channels…I’m sure there is a conspiracy here somewhere…;)…
