www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/05/11/dont-hear-george-soros-ties-30-major-news-organizations/For one they are unethical. As pointed out in this article a number of high profile journalists sit on the boards of media organizations financed by Soros a left wing radical that espouses an "open society" . This is clearly a violation of the professioal journalists code of ethics and it calls into question any suggestion that the reporting by these "journalists" is unbiased.

Agree. Soros IS evil,and libs love him. Control the news, control the people. Not everyone looks below the radar like some of us do. Many just believe the TV news.

Were you just as outraged by the revelation the republican administration was paying media members for favorable stories and to help push agendas.I am sure you were totally upset over Maggie Gallagher,ArmstrongWilliams,Rich Lowrey National Review] and other syndicated columnists admiting they accepted money from the government to write what the government wanted them to? I am sure you were just outraged over these evil republicans.....

Be careful here, Lady. We have COC, then lots of other things, too. Read all you can of the "other things."

Or are you not outraged by the unethical behaviour of these clearly liberal and biased journalists?

Haha that is quite a blanket statement about a large group of people who have zero control over the media. unless of course you do not mean liberals in general.

Guess what?I watch Fox news sometimes. I think they are a bit slanted in their reporting,sometimes misleading.I watch news from different sources and try to use my own devices to decide what is a realistic version of the story or issue.

So it is no big deal if the White House pays syndicated columnists to write favorable stories without revealing who is paying them? But it is a big deal if some media members sit on the BOD of companies tied to Soros. No offence,but whether intended or not, I think partisanship is creeping in.

So Soros once contributed to FOX's parent company? So what? Beck uses Cato on his show? So what? Conservative news and talk radio is KNOWN for bringing in opposition. Don't see much of that on other stations. One way or the other talk radio and internet gives more informational and accurate news than TV.

Accusing someone of partisanship on a political message board??? Now THAT is funny.

I don't know. The link you posted doesn't say what connection there was between Fox and Soros. Did he own a share of News Corp stock or did he sit on the board of directors or work as a paid consultant, what was it? All your link did was downplay the connection between Soros who spent billions on supporting left wing media. That to me is a pretty significant connection?

LOL, I suppose it is,but I wasn't really accusing anyone .Just saying an opinion... I don't think partisanship is evil. I enjoy the boards .They would be boring without it... I enjoy your posts too,krickett.If I rub you the wrong way sometimes,please do not take it personally.

Owning a chunk of their parent company is not a connection?

Not only did he own a large piece of Fox's parent company,---- Last November Salon.com's Justin Elliot reported that one of Fox News contributor Sarah Palin's "top aides has been on Soros' payroll for years." Yes, according to Elliot, "Republican lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, Palin's [then-] foreign policy adviser," is a paid lobbyist for the Open Society Policy Center, "a DC-based advocacy group founded and funded by Soros." Now, Palin has since cut ties with Scheunemann, but surely if The Atlanta Journal- Constitution is tied to Soros because "the editor of the editorial page" sits on the board of an organization that once received money from Soros, then Fox News is certainly connected to Soros due to the fact that one of its contributors employed a Soros employee while under contract with Fox News.
Then there's this: The Glenn Beck Program, a Fox News factual catastrophe, has hosted members of The Cato Institute, which is a George Soros grantee. As Media Matters has previously documented, "a simple Google search reveals that in 2010 Cato received a grant from Soros' Open Society Institute" - the very same Soros organization that donated money to the Amanpour-affiliated Center for Public Integrity. Kevin Bacon, eat your heart out.
It gets better. During the segment, Doocy said, "You know what Dan, if, for instance, the Koch brothers were going to donate money to organizations the outcry would be enourmous." Gainor replied, "Well, you know, you also wouldn't see top journalists serving on that board." Guess who gets money from the Koch brothers? That's right, the MRC. According to the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the Media Research Center--yes, the very people who put out this ridiculous Soros linked media report--has recently received at least $15,000 from the Koch brothers, a fact not mentioned by Doocy or Gainor. Gainor, however, was right about one thing, you certainly "wouldn't see top journalists serving on" the MRC's board, unless of course they wanted all of their credibility destroyed."

Liberals aren't all evil. The fall into several categories:
1. liberals. This describes the vast majority of liberals- diminished mental capacity. Don't really understand the issues, but they are told x,y, and z by their union reps; or parents; CNN, etc. and they don't have enough brain cells sparking to think through the issues and decide for themselves.
2. Lib Dupes. These describe people that are kind of like liberals, but they're involved on the front line of liberal politics and they see all the "good" done by liberal policies. They're social workers, they have a mother-in-law that gets some program or other, they are teachers, and they kinda get that we don't really have the money for all this stuff, but they think we can cut other places. No matter what they can't imagine anything good being done by any entity other than government.
3. Lazy Lib Dependents. These make up the rest of the herd. They may not be lazy currently, but they were at one point and now they're trapped in a cycle of dependancy. They need government to survive each day. They can't imagine actually working.
All these Libs are led by the evil statists who aren't really libs at all-- but tyrants.

You like Soros? Great, knock yourself out. SO glad to see FOX has severed ties to him. Soros can take his NWO view elsewhere-- the places you guys like. Why anyone buys in to this crap I do not know. Do people really think they will have MORE under NWO? No, everybody except the elites of all countries will have more. The rest of us will be reduced to less. A global 3rd world country. Gee, isn't that nice?

I don't like him,but I also don't think he is the devil reincarnated that Fox makes him out to be and everyone follows suit.
