We've all seen the video of Heidi Noonan, a Fox producer, revving up the crowd for Glenn Beck at the 9/12 Much Less Than a Million March http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYbPsvOnX8 (I love when she ducks down)...but did you see the memo that Fox put out?
From: Sammon, Bill Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 2:25 PM To: 005 -Washington Subject: standards For those of us who have only been at Fox for a relatively short period of time, it’s useful to remind ourselves that, as journalists, we must always be careful to cover the story without becoming part of the story. At news events, we’re supposed to function as dispassionate observers, not active participants. We are there to chronicle the news, not create it. That means we ask questions in a fair, impartial manner. When approaching interviewees, we identify ourselves, by both name and news organization, up front. We seek out a variety of voices and views. We take note of the scene in order to bring color and context to our viewers. We do not cheerlead for one cause or another. We do not rile up a crowd. If a crowd happens to be boisterous when we show it on TV, so be it. If it happens to be quiet, that’s fine, too. It’s not our job to affect the crowd’s behavior one way or the other. Again, we’re journalists, not participants — and certainly not performers. Indeed, any effort to affect the crowd’s behavior only serves to undermine our legitimate journalistic role as detached eyewitnesses. Remember, our viewers are counting on us to be honest brokers when it comes to reporting — not altering –the important events of the day. That is nothing less than a sacred trust. We must always take pains to preserve that trust. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please stop by. Just the subject of the memo is irony enough for anyone. |

If you don't like FOX news, then don't watch it. There are millions more of us who do enjoy watching it.
It sure beats the hell out of Communist News Network (CNN). |

I could say the same about the other stations. I just prefer to get my news from FOX news channel. I use to watch the others, until I was turned off by them being so politically biased, FOX wasn't near as bad. (with the exeption of Beck, etc...) The other channels is what also cause me to lean further to the right. I do not need a news anchor or movie star pushing their political veiws down to me. |

I think this one was done as a joke, but the rest of them are all real. |

Oh... let's not forget Fox's compulsion to change the political party of Republican politicians during a scandal.

Fox ticker (texted by a viewer, but Fox, which screens all such texts before running them, ran it anyway) "Let's hope the magic negro does a good job." |

I live in the deep south, I do not see any racism here. The only time I hear about it is from the left. The rest of us just laugh it off. As far as the clan, there are none here either. The only time I hear of them, they are from up north or in the northern mid west. The race card has been pulled so much, that now it's nothing more than the "boy who cried wolf". |

The ad hominems always stand as evidence to me that the subject matter must be getting to you. Fox's hypocrisy stings, doesn't it? |
