Yeah, just as reputable as as New York Post...
Same level, although NYP poses one of the lowest level of writing/etitiing (already out of journalism).

Lucky said:That couldn't be further from the truth. I have been a Newsday reader for over 35 years and the reliability between Newsday and the New York Post isn't even measurable. Newsday does not print speculation and rumors. They are much more truthful.
rtt2 said:New York Post is as balanced as Fox News.
The Post has even worsened in recent time, it is almost becoming a rag magazine.
It figures since Murdoch owns both Fox News and the Post.
I guess that is why Fox is so "unpopular" (hint..hint..check the ratings) right? Because most Americans are morons and watch Fox?? And you are so superior and know so much more than the majority of us stupid, uneducated idiots, right??T2k said:Exactly. Fox News is the same cabaret like New York Post - actually I do know in fact some universities' journalism depts use Fox News regularly as the perfect example how NOT to write - they analyze each one of the distortion, bias, faking, utter lack of integrity.
Fox News is the lowest point of the once great American news journalism - actually FOx is NOT journalism if we take that as a profession.

Maybe your journalistic idol is Dan Rather? Now that's a piece of journalistic integrity!

T2k said:I know it's going to be a striking new thing for you but still: numbers doesn't say anything, fella! Another newsflash for you: yes, people are stupid. Not because of being uneducated - part of the deal - but because they are being disinformed by these loathsome bunglers (they have nothing to do with journalism).
Besides the fact that NOBODY knows real numbers - these are numbers you pulled out of your/somebody's bottom part -, there are century-old basics of journalism, integrity and such which never appeared to be in effect on Fox News. If you don't know them, ask first. Otherwise shouting on a forum without no clue will make people think perhaps you are one those uneducated, moronic people you are talking about...
I don't really care what some redneck Bush-fan watches - they are hardcore idiots, doesn't worth the try but rest of the country is unfortunately being fed up by these worms at Murdoch's disgusting, nation and country destroying, crappy, cheap propaganda sh*t, called Fox News. Fox News EXACTLY operates the same way as old commie TV channels were operating - EXACTLY the same way, language, rhetoric, everything. The structure of the distortion, the way they don't report this but report that etc...
Fox News is a frightening 1:1 copy for those who have seen any 'original' commie news program.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I started this thread with a news topic I thought was relevant to this forum. Then the attacks began on the source of the story. Then the attacks began on the attacks, and so on, and so on....And now we are in to politics and communism...I bow out at this point...let this go where it may. To qoute Jim Rome...I am OUT!justalurker said:Ah, so there is a valid topic for this thread!

If it is not going to survive long term let it die fast while I still remember what life without all this HD is like.
I really don't watch much tv in general - mostly DVDs (have ~900), but I just got an HD set and wanted to take advantage of it. The Monsters HD channel is on alot here now. I have 5 program reminders on that channel for this weekend.
I know of a few others that are on the fence right now wanting to see what happens to VOOM. I know they are impressed with mine.

Smart people don't have time for TV?gutter said:Vurbano...I think you may have some good insight there.
I don't agree with this statement, : maybe people made issue with " Ben Franklin" eating Apple Pie, He may have thought better having pie, maybe some people think better watching the tube, just a thought.justalurker said:Smart people don't have time for TV?
