Fox News does a fluff piece promoting a white supremisist website - Page 2

The report leaves the impression that these guys are your "friendly neighborhood racists" who just want their own race and to be left alone.

READ THE SITE. They are far worse than Fox made them appear. Stormfront got exactly what they wanted - a free advertisement to lure in "tepid racists" who might be too afraid to join any "extremist racist" sites.

That piece was a SLAM DUNK for stormfront. Sure, we can all see it for what it is, but I'm sure stormfront got a bunch of new members from SC/NC.

The reporter was derelict by allowing the site to define itself in its own words when the "facts" clearly say it is much worse. In this case, simply reporting "their own words" on the website would have been sufficient.

I'm not disputing much of what you say, but since the original piece by Fox Carolina is apparently no longer up on the web, we don't really know what it said in its entirety. All we have to go on is a "report about a report".

The corporate media giant that is FOX news also does "Fair and Balanced" reporting in China with the support of the communist party there.

Now as far as local listeners for this broadcast, I can hear them now:

"Yehaaww! Bout time we get some fair and balanced reporting on them Stormfront boys. Won't be hearing a story like that on that there libber-all CBS"

And the local listeners of FOX probably voted for and support the current regime ..err... Bush Administration.

FOX News knows it's audience and won't broadcast anything to upset it, only to support it (in a fair and balanced manner, of course).

Well Fox News's local affiliate, Fox Carolina has finally shown us how racist the culture at Fox News is.
Here is the link so you can see the it for yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fox Carolina isn't an affiliate of Fox News, is it? It's the local affiliate of the Fox network, which also owns Fox News. Anyways, how are you projecting a piece made by 8 rednecks in a local newsroom onto an entire network? Doesn't make much sense to me.

she replied she did the story exactly as she was told to and that officials at the network were very pleased with her coverage.

To say fox news and fox affiliates are completely isolated idealogically is a naive statement.

A part of the excellent documentry 'Out Foxed' tells the story of a local affiliate that was brow beat into running negative stories about democrats. They had to run entire pieces unedited that took pot shots at respected policital figures.

So that is not a hasty generalization. The culture of Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch is pervasive. Look at the Katrina coverage or the constant bashing of black leaders.

A CBS or ABC affiliate would never run garbage like this.

The vast majority of Fox News viewers are racist and saying "i have a lot of black friends" does not mean you cant be a bigot.

Amazing. Are you including Fox viewers in this too?

I was completely 100 percent with you right up until that comment.

Your horrific display of intollerance is pretty ironic. Not to defend those whack jobs, but you realize that you are JUST AS BAD AS THEM right?
