It's amazing how low the American media has sunk. During the Egyptian riots, when all the cable news shows were talking about Charlie Sheen, the only place I could find constant coverage was on the English- Al Jazeera website. That's not all, after watching it for awhile I realized they actually were reporting news, and it was good reporting... Shocking.
It is just too bad that our news outlets believe they must jazz up the news with untruths just to get viewership.... We as US citizens need to hunt for the truth, it involves more than a few little sound bites on TV....I personally watch both CNBC and Fox!... :- 0 The truth is somewhere between right and left, make your choice as it suits you and your family beliefs and your country.... :- )...... ....ned
Unfortunately there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States, Murdoch flavored kool-aid floods the air waves...the weak minded except it as gospel...

I give Fox a pass...because they usually follow up their stories with the phrase, " You decide." So they are giving you the option to think for yourself...right? So what's the problem?
Fox lies. I heard it several times on FUX news last week.
Ok, So I wasted 3 minutes of my life watching that clip and here is what knowledge I gained:
A reporter trying to give his report being drown out by the sound of "Fox Lies" chants
Reporter confronts one chanter and asks him a question to which said chanter can only reply "Fox lies"
Reporter then goes on to add that the protesters have been very decent and that this guy is the exception, not the rule when it comes to describing them.
Not sure what was to be gained by moxnews.com by showing that, but then again, if you have 10 bucks you too can get your own domain name and put whatever you want on the internet,

Exactly my experience. Compared to BBC and Al Jazeera, the media here is absolute garbage. The same stories reported on Al Jazeera were butchered and misleading on US media. Pathetic.
