Title: 60% of FOX news false?
Post by: OzmO on February 09, 2015, 09:28:13 AM
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/jan/29/punditfact-checks-cable-news-channels/ (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/jan/29/punditfact-checks-cable-news-channels/)

PunditFact checks in on the cable news channels

MSNBC and CNN have improved ever so slightly on PunditFact's TV network scorecards, while Fox News has moved a touch in the opposite direction.

PunditFact, a sister site of PolitiFact dedicated to fact-checking pundits and talking heads, last looked at its network scorecards in September. The scorecards measure statements made by a pundit or a host or paid contributor on a particular network. They do not include statements made by elected leaders, declared candidates or party officials.

So what’s the latest tally?

At Fox and Fox News, 10 percent of the claims PunditFact has rated have been True, 11 percent Mostly True, 18 percent Half True, 21 percent Mostly False, 31 percent False and nine percent Pants on Fire.

That means about 60 percent of the claims  checked have been rated Mostly False or worse. Here’s how it breaks down (as of Jan. 27, 2015):

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/yoQ1iMgJHZbrC_n8a2xTUhRZ9OWaiAEMPLewGATLhPUGbt1VY3-Y5vOjYS-69cfl_5YHg-EzgdWEEgLSQUMrZle1t4zH-7mV-r9a4M1lsGKJdejuGROYOP88HtXr9ksY4Q)

At MSNBC and NBC, 44 percent of claims have received a rating of Mostly False or worse. The full breakdown:

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/aKreK0HrXVXgtTv9PDZAHefbIBaKqHkU-Sz9NiwbSgMjUQsXsccUj2l0xKfHSLdmJgObkzwpYsVo70LBsuEvm03iWFYPr-WNXXTPzGlMSLDelN4g9t0hNHvmMDsA7dNSzA)

And as for CNN? It has the best record among the cable networks, as 80 percent of of the claims rated are Half True or better.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/jeXVGfUBTOtWGC0FmppOrkD8mqUNFk9QKF3lUjcBynnOGJOCZXQ7Gz0t2Qk866NwFNF-crrRlO8V0sAbyoSWwCYA475NQLW2VnJM1_1uQNkMDiR6_KQE1SjnyXF5_ekCoQ)

As we have said in the past, be cautious about using the scorecards to draw broad conclusions. We use our news judgment to pick the facts we’re going to check, so we certainly don’t fact-check everything. And we don’t fact-check the five network groups evenly. CBS, for instance, doesn’t have a cable network equivalent, so we haven’t fact-checked pundits and CBS personalities as much.

LOL @ the Fox hit piece. So I guess Bengazi was a blatant lie because they broke they story and it wasn't until months later (like 8months later) when the other networks finally woke up.

I asked you to post the facts debunking the stats  in the original post

If you just want to claim that Politifact is bias and makes errors and is therefore not credible in any context then let's apply that standard to Fox News, Hannity, Rush and every other source that provides fuel for your daily self humiliation

I'm pretty sure you believe these things.  Since both obama and the REPUBS in the house have declared this not to be true, it is now officially a CONSPIRACY THEORY.

you and i both know it's true... but it's a consparacy theory now.

wen it comes to PUNDITS - yes, FOX's and MSBNC's are very animated, angry - they throw red meat to the bases.

Am I surprised that FOX is a little more 'over the top'?  Nah.   I mean, Meagyn isn't even a pundit... and she just "supposed" it was a terror fist-bump.  They do that "some people say..." to introduce all sorts of hateful, animated theories into things.  You can invent news with "some people say..." then make any accusation you want.

Not that I'm defending msnbc, they're dog shit stupid too.  But from watching years of both, not much lately, I can tell you that MSNBC plays way more "gotcha" and over-reacts every little time they smell hypocrisy... While FOX plays way more "suppose..." and introduces scary, fake, hateful theories into the matter.  They both suck, and it's touogh to say one sucks more or less, cause suckage is such a subjective thing, ya know?

I like to LOL at those who refuse to watch the other - but can say with certainty that the network does more of this or that.

For years, I watched each of the big 3, about 1/3 of the day.  Lou Dobbs when he flirted with 911, Bill-O when he admitted FOX isn't balanced, but they provide the balance, olbermann when he totally nailed bush on the nexus of terror, announcing terror plots when politically convenient...

You have getbiggers that can't remember arguments from 2 weeks ago... lol... telling us why FOX doesn't do this, or MSN they don't watch always does that... lol.

I watch Fox and their hard news is "true," because they simply report the news.  They don't get on the air every day and invent hard news stories.  The opinion shows are just that, so I don't think you can reliably give their opinions some kind of arbitrary "truth" percentage.  

Would be interested to see the breakdown of the hard news vs. opinion shows and the actual statements those folks rated.

Depends on the show.  Megyn and Greta are excellent.  O'Reilly is a blowhard, and I cannot really stomach him, but he has been leading his time slot for a very long time.  Must be more than just "parrots" in his audience. 

Also, all of their opinion shows have opposing viewpoints.  Except for maybe Outnumbered, because the "one lucky guy" isn't always a liberal.

why would you draw that conclusion

being a fundie, aren't you familiar with the term "preaching to the choir"

his viewers tune in because they already agree with him and they like getting angry with him about whatever he has decided to be pissed about that day

they also could (almost certainly are) just as stupid as he is which is another reason they probably like him.

I doubt it.  People watch FOX and other networks like that to reinforce their preexisting beliefs (preaching to the choir) .  Parrots come in all shapes and IQs. Mix in a little hard news, opposing view points that don't participate equally during the entire broadcast and you have great propaganda that speaks to the heart of a particular political spectrum.

O'Reilly is a blow hard, but i have to give some props for not writing in an extreme right tone in "Killing Patton"

That is part of it.  People do tend to watch and read things that reinforce what they already believe.

But that's not the whole story with Fox.  They're simply better at both their news and opinion shows than anyone else.  The hard news is factual.  The opinions shows overall are solid.  They don't coddle liberals like the MSM.  The hosts and guests are more entertaining and funnier. 

Importantly, they always have opposing viewpoints, so their programming isn't just about parroting whatever the conservative line might be.

To gauge how accurately these networks inform their audiences about climate change, UCS analyzed the networks' climate science coverage in 2013 and found that each network treated climate science very differently.

Fox News was the least accurate; 72 percent of its 2013 climate science-related segments contained misleading statements. CNN was in the middle, with about a third of segments featuring misleading statements. MSNBC was the most accurate, with only eight percent of segments containing misleading statements.

They are better at spewing BS that their parrots want to hear that's all.  

Having opposing views points only gives the illusion of fair and balanced news.  When those opposing view points are over with, the rest of the new cast is influenced by false news, content and the opinion of the casters.  Also there is the premise of the discussion that can influence the impact of the opposition combined with the debating skills, image and charisma of the opposing view.

Who specifically is spewing BS?  The hard news anchors reporting the news?  Opinion hosts like Megyn Kelly?  Which shows do you watch? 

Having opposing viewpoints helps make them fair and balanced.

No.

There is a News Paper's website (Tampa Bay Times) who did a study on the accuracy of statements made by Pundits, hosts and or paid contributors on particular news TV networks.  They found that 60% of Fox's are plain false, MSNBC's are 54% plain false and CNN's is 11%

While i am laughing at and responding to, the parroting  "defense of Fox" by some here, i am not ignoring that both ends of the perceived political spectrum's news networks seem to be full of shit.  Its just that no one on the left side has parroted much yet about MSNBC being fair and balanced with solid opinion shows, ...........factual hard news, .........non coddling of conservatives....funnier guests........, .............AHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH   (sorry couldn't stop laughing as i typed this)   and or what ever  stupid thing our resident birther has said.

dude.  you can make the claim that Fox News is more "full of shit" than MSNBC.  yay.  but when the score is 60-44 you can't call them "sheep".  If your wife lied to you about 44 guys she fucked while she was married to you would you make fun of the guy whose wife lied about 60 guys she fucked while she was married to him?  

and the score may very well be the other way around the next time they poll.  Did you read the Q and A?

Its only because americans live day in and day out with "news" that is filled with BS they seem to think thats how its supposed to be.

If you watch the news from some other countries like europe or great britain its a diiferent story intirely.

What the hell are you rambling about? I never watch MSNBC or any of the other stations. The media in Denmark is FAR superior to the propaganda you watch.

And it doesnt tell the intelligent wiever that they are ALL sheep. It says FOX wievers is numero uno in being sheeps, MSNBC second and CNN is pretty good actually. That means you should STOP watching FOX instead of making stupid posts where you attribute some BS to other posters and then attack that very fallacy.

I can't believe the weather man when he tells me it's raining and I can see the rain outside my window.
I can't believe them when they report on a fire or some other clearly objective event?

If 20% is false then isn't 80% accurate

Of course when you have Faux News reporting on climate change containing over 72 percent misleading statements then you're basically a propaganda organization

When you can't refute that or make an excuse for it the only thing left to do is try to pretend that "everyone" is just as bad and paint the entire net work news with that same brush

That's all the defenders have left that they can do

Of course, it's total bullshit but that's the only gambit left until one has to admit that yes Faux News is in a class by itself when it comes to lying

agree on everything here.  the only concern I have is that you don't seem to be demonizing MSNBC as much as FOX.  I mean its 60-44.  they both have horrible stats.  

I agree that the 60% for FOX is ridiculous.  I think that the 44% for MSNBC is ridiculous too.  I think its safe to say that both networks should be watched with extreme skepticism, maybe even disregarded completely.

and who's to say that you couldn't run a similar test a year from now and FOX would be 44 and MSNBC would be 60?  I'd like to see them run the data when a Republican is in office.  I'm guessing you'd see different results.  simply because FOX panders to Republicans, and tears apart Democratic presidents, spreading half truths and outright lies, they would most probably lie more when the incumbent is a Democrat.  can you tell me honestly that you think MSNBC wouldn't do this too if a Republican is elected in 2016?

bottom line is journalism is dead.  dogma is alive and well.  have fun trying to be an informed voter nowadays.  I honestly believe its impossible.

I watch Fox and their hard news is "true," because they simply report the news.  They don't get on the air every day and invent hard news stories.  The opinion shows are just that, so I don't think you can reliably give their opinions some kind of arbitrary "truth" percentage.  

Would be interested to see the breakdown of the hard news vs. opinion shows and the actual statements those folks rated.  

I disagree..they report the news which is then followed up with a hit piece which usually asks "is Obama to blame for ...."

That is part of it.  People do tend to watch and read things that reinforce what they already believe.

But that's not the whole story with Fox.  They're simply better at both their news and opinion shows than anyone else.  The hard news is factual.  The opinions shows overall are solid.  They don't coddle liberals like the MSM.  The hosts and guests are more entertaining and funnier. 

Importantly, they always have opposing viewpoints, so their programming isn't just about parroting whatever the conservative line might be. 

The hard news is fa ctual in that the event they are reporting on actually ocurred but is always slanted toward whether Obama handled it properly, and lo and behold, it is always agreed that he did not handle said issue properly

Let's assume what you say is true.  That doesn't make their news stories false, which was the whole point of the story that started this thread.

true but the tactic on both sides is also ignoring the fact that both sides ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE OTHER.  this is why im done voting.

this statement doesn't even make any sense and you've still apparently misunderstood or have chosen to ignore my statement

let me make it as clear as possible

Fox News is by far the worst

there is no comparison

the last gambit of the right when faced with the fact that Fox is by far the worst offender is to pretend that both side are equal offenders

but they take the news and then interpret it by spinning  it for days and days ina a slanted direction which fits the opinions of their comentators and the people who watch.....and this then brainwashes their audience into thinking about issues a certain way............which is usually wrong...then months later they MIGHT issue and apology if someone calls them out on it

How many hours of coverage did they devote to Obama lying about Benghazi???.....turns out there was no lying and no cover up
How many hours of coverage did they devote to Obama siccing the IRS on right wing groups???...turns out no conspiracy there either...
How many hours of coverage did they devote to Obama not handling the Ebola scare properly and stating repeatedly he was threatening the lives and well-being of Americans???...turns out only ONE person died and that person was sick before he even made it to a U.S. hospital

The news shows report the news. So how many times did they invent hard news?  I don't recall any.  Spending a lot of time covering certain news stories isn't inventing stories.  A large of that is covering what the MSM fails to cover.  

The opinion shows spend a lot of time bashing the president, but he earns most of it.  At least on the shows I watch.  And think about it:  if Fox wasn't around, which other part of the MSM would attempt to hold the president and his people accountable?  

Here is an example of how the MSM treats the president and his people.  Embarrassing.

Quote
To gauge how accurately these networks inform their audiences about climate change, UCS analyzed the networks' climate science coverage in 2013 and found that each network treated climate science very differently.

Fox News was the least accurate; 72 percent of its 2013 climate science-related segments contained misleading statements. CNN was in the middle, with about a third of segments featuring misleading statements. MSNBC was the most accurate, with only eight percent of segments containing misleading statements.

Here is an example of an invented news story.  

NBC News Admits 'Error' In Editing Of George Zimmerman 911 Call
Posted: 04/03/2012 5:54 pm EDT Updated: 06/03/2012 5:12 am EDT

NBC News is admitting that it made an "error" editing a recording of George Zimmerman's 911 call moments before he shot Trayvon Martin.

"Today" aired an edited version of Zimmerman's call to the police in a segment about Martin. The show's audio made it sound as though Zimmerman had volunteered that Martin was "black." In actuality, the 911 officer asked if the "suspicious person" he was calling about was "black, white or Hispanic."

NBC News launched an internal investigation into the story. On Tuesday, the network expressed "regret" for the omission, and apologized to its viewers.

"During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret," NBC News said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. "We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers."

from YOUR link.

Some of you also have asked why we include statements of conservative pundits on MSNBC in MSNBC’s rankings and liberal pundits speaking on Fox News in Fox’s rankings. The thought we hear is that doing so doesn’t present a true measure of the network.

We, however, believe in measuring the overall veracity of a network -- and think MSNBC and Fox News should be held accountable for what pundits they put on air.

also from YOUR link, the author agrees with me.  they're both jokes.  not JUST fox.  not JUST msnbc.

ok now you're being stupid.  yes and the same goes for Fox and Fox News.  The liberal pundits that say false things also add to the total for Fox.  You're blatantly cherry picking facts to suit your argument.  you're being silly. 


I'm looking at the source data for the claim

do you not get that

I'm didn't "cherry pick" anything

I copied exactly what they provided as examples

I didn't "pick" any of them

Do you dispute the fact that they combined both MSNBC and NBC ?

Here is the source:  http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/nbc/

The comparisons are interesting, but be cautious about using them to draw broad conclusions. We use our news judgment to pick the facts we’re going to check, so we certainly don’t fact-check everything.
do me a favor.  don't post a link to argue your side, and then disagree with the same link in the same fucking post.

from YOUR link.

Some of you also have asked why we include statements of conservative pundits on MSNBC in MSNBC’s rankings and liberal pundits speaking on Fox News in Fox’s rankings. The thought we hear is that doing so doesn’t present a true measure of the network.

We, however, believe in measuring the overall veracity of a network -- and think MSNBC and Fox News should be held accountable for what pundits they put on air.

also from YOUR link, the author agrees with me.  they're both jokes.  not JUST fox.  not JUST msnbc.

by my link you mean the source data for the thing you claim shows 44% misleading ?

an example of a misleading statement on MSNBC is a statement by Cheney

Are you aware of Cheny EVER being on MSNBC?

So when Cheny goes on NBC and lies that is one of the examples of misleading statement by pundits/guests on MSNBC

That's what you were thinking....right?

I don't seem them combining Faux News with another channell

When they combine NBC and MSNBC and refer to is as NBC and then give example of misleading statements such as one made by Cheney on NBC don't you see that that's bullshit and misleading?

When you think of misleading statements by MSNBC pundits are you thinking of Cheney?

you've been going at this too long.  you're outthinking yourself and making errors.  I do it too sometimes.


Q: Why do you group NBC and MSNBC together?

A: At this point, we group both NBC and MSNBC together, as we group together Fox and Fox News Channel.

I don't group them together - politifact/pundit fact does that (seriously have you not understood that all this time)

All you have to do is follow the links back to the source data

why do you choose to refuse to look a that

Answer this simple question as honestly as you can

When you think of MSNBC being misleading are you thinking of statement made by Dick Cheney on NBC ?

Is that the picture you get in your mind?

again, I didn't "cherry pick" that.  It's right from the source of the article you referred to.

all I see is that the study is treating each station the same.  you can't accept that.  because you can't accept that MSNBC is ridiculous as FOX.  I can't help you anymore.

first image of from the initial article/link

second image is from the source data

Notice they are identical but the 2nd one show that they are mixing NBC and MSNBC together (in fact they don't even mention MNSBC)

They then go on to list a bunch of example which you claimed that I "cherry-picked"

Are you really saying you didn't understand this before?

and here are examples from the source data of statements made on NBC (or is it MSNBC - the page with the quotes ONLY states NBC and I doubt Cheney ever went on MSNBC but maybe he did)

yes it is.  I wonder what MSNBC was.    I'm sure they were close to CNN.  Liberal news stations don't lie nearly as much as FOX.


Not nearly but close.

CNN was the clear "winner".

i'm also assuming that when other people cite CNN as a source that you guys will defer to them as a good source of info.  right?  I do now.   

They beat the pants of FOX and MSNBC for sure.

CNN is 80% true.

FOX is 60% false.

Thats a huge difference.


whork is, considering this is what he took from the original article.  why did he ignore the stat on MSNBC?

I didnt i took the lowest and the highest score to show the huge difference. It wouldnt make sense otherwise.
Title: Re: 60% of FOX news false?
Post by: whork on February 11, 2015, 05:32:28 PM
also 80% is HALF TRUE OR BETTER for CNN.  so it's not 80% true.  yay news stations!

I just find it funny how you're all being lied to and you sit around bragging about who's lying to you the least and touting them as "good sources of news".  it's adorable how you all believe in this shit.  i'm sure you're one of those people who cry at presidential inaugurations.

Yes yes yes you have seen the light Bear and the rest of us are just braindead::)

except for reporting accurately on climate change and then MSNBC is by far the most accurate and FAUX is basically a propaganda/disinformation source.

fewer people watch msnbc, but they're continually credited for giving the presidency to the libs.
