One thing that annoys me greatly about Fox News is all their news orientates around President Obama.
Fox news always steers all their viewers towards Obama, where believe it or not CNN does not do.
In Fact CNN now has documentary shows on after 9 pm, and cover other aspects of living, life, other than dumbed down electorial politics.
Every thing, every news story, all information about anything, on Fox News, is geared towards P-Obamas Presidency.
The President gets more publicity on Fox News, than any other network.
There's a fine line between love and hate.
Only the keen will understand that.

 As I switch between channels today, Fox and CNN news, I find Fox News much more annoying and childish in that all they do is tie every story under the sun back to President Obama. That just gets old after a while, heck it got old 4 years ago, and it's like Fox News just can't get over their fasinations with the President. No other network, foreign or domestic promotes the President, keeps the President front and center, more than Fox News. Their reporters do it, their talk show hosts do it, even their guest do it, it's as if they can't go more than 1 minute without tying everything, all stories back to the President. Again, I find it annoying, my opinion about the President isn't decided by Fox News or any other channel or 3rd party. I decide whether I like someone or not based on other factors, not based on political slander and pandering. And the fact that Fox News can't figure this out, really tells me that they're dumb, or at least those who put together their programing. CNN, on the other hand, seems to have grown up a lot and matured, and very rarely do you hear the President name mentioned on CNN anymore, CNN actually covers news stories separate and independent of the President, and I like that, and find it very refreshing to not have every other news story politically linked back to the President....makes me want to barf after a while the way Fox News does that. It's as if Fox News thinks like this... 'Well err...if we just continue to blame the President for everything under the sun, and constantly talk bad about him then, erm, then...duh, um...den he can't win re-election, err...Duh...President can't run for office again...he's done, finished after this term, but if you listen to Fox, you'd think the President was running for office again they way the cry over him all the time. The correspondents on Fox News act the way my old classmates did in the 5th grade. So grow up already Fox. |

One thing that equally annoys me about both CNN and Fox News is Their panels, their panel of experts they always have on to respond to news items of the day.
They generally have on the same so called 'experts' over and over again.
They'll also bring in panel guests with opposing views to 'mice it up'.
But the segments are way to short, and nothing is ever resolved, no minds turned.
You just get panel members yelling at each other, each dug deep into their own political ideology, then they go to commercial break, and come back with completely new topic.
They both annoy me, in that they think common people out here in society always need 'experts' or 'Professors' interpreting, breaking down things that occur in the world.
And is where the idea of talk radio first got it's start, is the idea of 'Hey, lets hear from common people'.
But sadly talk radio has devolved into nothing more than political hacks who just push one side or the other, and all callers simply reflect the hosts view point.
I kind of wish TV networks would go back to taking live calls from common people, and mixing it up with 'experts' on various subjects, so that we the viewers could hear more angles about a story other than two staged opposing guest arguing on and on about nothing.

How Fox News is covering Ferguson Missouri story vs how CNN isThis is how Fox News is covering the Ferguson Story. 1. President Bad, President very very bad, President Obama always baaaaad. 2. Black hobbit who was shot, bad...black hobbit who was shot very very baaaad. 3. Protesters baaaaad, protesters very very bad...behave like Savages. 4. Cops always gooooood, machine guns and tanks needed to control 'black mobs'. That's basically how Fox News is covering the Story...everything, everyone in the news who's black, seems to be baaaad on their show, including the President, Trayvon and Mike Brown, the 18 yr old shot in Ferguson. Fox News never has on people from the area, never cares about actually hearing from those on the streets, at events...there's like this resistance to do that, as if better to talk about them than talk with them, that way stereotypes can keep perpetuating with their viewers and staff. Fox News is not fair and balanced and really hope they don't use that saying anymore. They are more slanted than the Ifel tower of Italy. How is CNN doing with coverage of Ferguson?  CNN acts more like that Highway Patrol Captain who came in and walked with the Protesters on the streets... Where as Fox News covers story that feels as if they're pointing machine guns and tanks at the Protesters as the Ferguson Police department did. Fox News is as distant to 'black peoples' plight as those cops were who had tanks and lazer guided bombs pointed at women protesters, not the looters, but protesters. The only time Fox News seems to like people of color is if they're hard core ultra right, and basically anti President and say things that make 'white Conservatives' feel good, like how irresponsible blacks are ect. If a black person goes on their show denigrading other blacks and making broad generalizations then Fox News has them on every other night, like puppets. Fox News serves who they serve, cators to who they want to, I just with they'd be honest about it. Fox News cators to the guys who were in tanks and pointing machine guns at protesters, they're Fox News fan base it seems. CNN tends to cater to a broader group of people transitioning between views constantly, and CNN have on guests that reflect a broader swath of society. Fox News only tends to have on guests who are politically angry with the President and tie every story under the sun back to 'This administration'...(after a while you want to gag cause it's so predictable). I think CNN allows viewers to 'think' more on their own, where as Fox News, no matter what the story, always seem to have a anti black, anti President, slant to every story they run. Or anti Hillary or anti this anti that. I think people watch Fox News to get upset, and viewers tune in to CNN to relax, and hear whole story without constant 'we hate this administration' spin put on every single story.

One criticism I have for CNN that I just saw on TV moments ago is the way a live report in Ferguson had his cameras and mic all up in Officers faces as they were trying to give orders or direction to crowd...  It's as if the CNN reporter was trying to get himself arrested by purposefully agitating the Officers. That I didn't like. I mean even Movie Stars like Nicolas Cage and Sean Pen, and Kanyae West, get annoyed when reporters shove cameras and mics in their face. And I do notice how this particular reporter is kind of going out of his way to try to spin officers in a bad light. That's a fair and honest observation. |

According to Fox News guests and hosts, it's OK for Police to shoot 18 year old citizens simply cause they 'dare you to', according to radio call in witness
Every single guest on Fox News seems to be thrilled that Mike Brown is dead...as they were with Trayvon.
Like a pattern here...Fox seems to have on guests who hate black youth, expecially males.
Also new recorded 3rd hand caller to radio show says Mike Brown told Officer
'What are you going to do, shoot me?'
Then Officer shot him.
Sorry but Officers can't shoot and kill teens simply cause of a dare.
But Fox News guests all seem to think it's perfectly fine...as long as the one who's dead is 'black' and male, Fox News and talk radio hosts all seem to extatic joyful and happy.

Fox News, where do they get their guests?
They seem 'jaded' to me, dishonest, fake liberals on the show, who sound more conservative than Savage.
They lie, straight up.
They pretend to be fair, but the whole show, all their guests just seem to have it out for the President.
All they do is link every single story back to the President and you can hear their disdain for the President slurping out of their commentary, like drool.
And they bring up the same flawed arguments over and over again...
Example of flawed argument
1. A State Sanction Officer of the law shooting unarmed citizen is not the same as random crime or even gang on gang violence in Chicago, where when perpetrators are caught, their arrested and convicted.
But those on Fox are either to Dense or being deliberately dishonest by trying to tie different scenarios together with different themes.
Fox is one big lie in that they're not honest to the types of listeners they're trying to appeal to.
Basically rural or even suburban types who have a natural built in disdain and fear of 'blacks folks' and other minorities.
They appeal to 'racist' who love it when Officers shoot black youth, you can see it in their facial expressions, they get all 'giddy' and wide eyed.
Hard as they may, they just can't hide that, people aren't stupid.
The people on Fox, who produce the show are basically racist who hide under the veil of 'electoral politics'.
But cleverly veil it all under electoral politics.
The show, all their guests, just feel 'jaded' to me, like they aren't who they pretend to be while on air, as if wearing masks while on air...but even make up can't hide the ugliness and dishonesty of how they present stories.
Like throwing out things in the middle of Ferguson interview about 'Well uh, blacks commit most of the crime'.
That's a big lie, and can prove it.
Urban blacks are arrested more for certain low level street crimes, but crimes over all, not even close and I can prove it.
Or even ask 911 dispatchers who receive all calls.
Fox is full of lies, but they lie in order to spin electoral politics their way and that's what I find disquesting about that network and their hosts.
And they way they feel by lining panel with 'blacks' who hate President, and reflect their views, is another dirty trick, again they think their viewers are dumb.
More to follow.

The media is 'sick' in how they invent defamatory headlines just to incite viewers interest
Words both CNN and Fox Correspondents and Reporters love throwing around that I never hear coming from actual protesters are
1. Race
2. Color
3. White Officer
4. Black Teen
And other such inflammatory words that they always start off their stories with.
They do that deliberately, and frame Ferguson incident in ways to get people to turn their head towards the TV.
The media is the one 'framing' this story how they see fit, to maximize viewership on both sides.
Example, they keep emphasizing the term 'White Officer who shot black teen'.
Everyone already knows the color of both the teen and officer, why keep repeating that?
And obviously it's done so they, the media on both sides, can generate interest in story, but I find that tactic to be cheap.
It's really the media that frames this incident as a black vs white thing by continuing to repeat the above.

CNN keeps pushing false 'Racial Divide Narrative on news show over Ferguson
Now CNN is beginning to annoy with their constant 'Race Division Narrative'.
There is no relevant Race Divide, however there is a class and social divide which has more to do with culture, than color, location, where raised, how raised and so on.
The Ferguson incident didn't really start off about 'race' but the news media has certainly spun it that way now cause they know that's what keeps peoples attention.
Not really sure how one can work for a news agency and have a conscious, cause you're pressured to 'pump up' stories just for ratings even though by doing so it can stir up social unrest and tension where it normally wouldn't be.
There's the original story, then there's the second made up story that media always seems to fabricate just for ratings.
A rational person is not peruaded by news coverage to become more or less 'racist'...you can't become what's not already in thy heart, media just tends to squeeze raw emotions out of people, the way one squeezes a lemon, the sourness is already inside.
Added: Nor do Presidents create 'racial divide'.
People need to quit blaming external sources for how they've felt along about people or situations.
That's what 'hobbits' do, but the more you watch the news, the more you realize very few people every really grow up, they're simply given jobs of great importance but are still basically acting the way high school seniors behaved, with cliques and all.

Not sure what Fox News gains by continuing to take political jabs at the President, even interrupting ISIS coverage, Russian coverage, or any other News story by always, continually taking jabs at the President.
Not sure what their aim is other than 'hatred'.
Yes hatred.
People excuse those they like, while condemning those they hate.
But as a supposed news show, I'm not interested in the hosts, or guests, personal hatred of the President.
That's why I see Fox News as a smut channel, instead of a news channel.
If they were a news channel they'd keep their personal hatred and ugly opinions about the President to themselves, and just cover story at hand, instead of always injecting the Presidents performance into every story.
By now most peoples minds are, have been, made up about the elected President, who will be out of office soon.
So just not sure what Fox thinks it gains by continuing to jab at the President during these hardened times.
As if people will forget, as if when next Rep President is elected, some 60% of nation will totally embrace them, and forget the 8 years Fox did everything to besmirch 'their man'.
Pay back, karma, can be a real b___h.
And sadly it will come back hard on the GOP...cause the same energy you put out, always, always, comes right back at you and hits you in the face like a brick.
You don't hurt, insult people for 8 years, in any relationship, and just expect them to forget it.
Then unveil your candidate and say 'Here, stand behind this guy, he'll unite us'...
Again humans aren't that dense, and like elephants, people have long memories.
And the fact Fox and staff could never get over their 'hatred' for the Pres and what they think he represents, will come back and bite their next candidate.

I've stopped watching the news lately, just can't take this ISIS over saturation coverage.
Also sick of these 'expert panels'.
On Fox, the expert panelist all look and behave like horrid bigoted monsters to me, and on CNN, their expert panelists always seem clueless.
Both news outlets cover basically the same items of the day though.
10% news, everything else just seems to be opinion.
And it's the opinion part that's getting old to me, seeing the same so called experts explain things to viewers whom I guess they assume have no brains and need someone to explain things to them or slant their views.
When I turn it all off, I just relax more, and concentrate on things in front of me, life, being alive, appreciating my own environment instead of worrying about things occurring 10,000 miles away, or getting caught up in dirty political view points.
Life is much more peaceful and quiet when you just turn it all off for a while.

Both are milking the 'F' Missouri story for all they can right now.
Who needs J-Jackson when you've got Fox News and CNN riling everyone up with sensational coverage, and guests who rile people with their positions, regardless of what side of issue one falls on.
Guests brought onto these shows simply to rile people up which serves no purpose at all other than ratings.
Both networks are focusing on the worst, most sensational elements of the story.
Even the President in his speech warned or predicted that would happen.
Oh well.
Next week there'll be a new story to sensationalize, this cycle never ends.

Side by side comparison of how CNN and Fox News are covering the New York City Officer shooting story CNN is basically covering NYPD slaying story as 'reporters'...they're covering story, allowing players effected to speak about incident at hand, and pretty much allowing viewers to draw own conclusion about what occurred.  Fox News is commentating on the story and blaming others for what occurred... Fox News panelists, guests, anchors are all blaming their usual suspects Fox News is blaming the following people for NYPD Officers slayings 1. Obama (of course) 2. Eric Holder (of course) 3. The Mayor of New York (of course) 4. Al Sharpton (double of course) With Fox News you get ugly personal opinions injected into every news story.  like talk radio, where they try to coheres viewers opinions by injecting their own. That's not news, that's commentary. And regardless the story, whether Sony pulling movie from theaters, to Ferguson to Russia invading Ukraine, Fox News always finds a way of tying the President, Eric Holder, and Al Sharpton into every story. There news is 'jaded' in that rarely do they just cover story without injecting their own ugly political views into story or news line. It's why it's harder and harder for me to watch Fox, cause it's not news if I have to always hear political commentary, which is 100% always aimed against the President. There's nothing fair and balanced about Fox News programing, and that's fine, but they need to be honest and just admit that instead of trying to come off as a normal news platform.
