I wouldn't say bend, they clearly manipulated the data and outright lied in some of the graphs. The graphs numbers aren't even in line and they even have graphs that do not make any sense at all, the pie graph for example. They are just making shit up it seems.

Unemployment was over 8% (which it was never supposed to exceed in the first place). Yet, the Obama worshippers here are worried about a GRAPH??

Yep, Fox News made up the fact that unemployment was 8.6% this time last year.  ::)

This is the pathetic defense for Obama's record. I guess, when unemployment shoots back up to that level or higher, you're going to be focused on how the graphs look.

Who said 8% unemployment was never to supposed to happen?

Its a factor of many different factors so i dont understand your reasoning?

And are you turning into 33.... the subject was a network that manipulates information not Obama.

Is your reasoning that the unemployment rate is what dictates what lies are okay?

are you mentally unstable? the straw man you erected could house nicolas cage. I didn't post this as a defense to Obamas record, where did I state as much? Nice try though. The point is fox is shit, they lie constantly and pander to the right so hard it's impossible not to notice. Murdoch is a fucking crook.

The left always cries foul and feigns offesnse when one of the few right leaning outlets does the same shit all the other networks do.   

Complaining about media bias rings hollow from liberals, since they live in the biggest of glass houses in this category.

none are as close to comical as fox, you are just lumping everything together without taking note of variation. Fox spreads disinformation/lies at a whole new level.

This is not simple bias its lying and misinformation.

Who said 8% unemployment was never to supposed to happen?

Other than Obama's economic team (many of whom bailed to go back to their college enclaves)....nobody.

Oh, unemployment was also supposed to be around 5.5% by now.

How is the information manipulated, when the numbers are RIGHT ON THE SCREEN FOR EVERYONE TO SEE?

Was unemployment at 8.6% last November? Yes!

Did that chart on Fox News state such? YES!!

What LYING? The numbers are there for anyone with a decent set of peepers to see.

OH NO!! The graph is off. AAAAAAHHHH!!!! (as if no one can see the "8.6%" number on the screen  ::) )

You and Whork appear to be the unstable ones, obsessing over a news network and yelping about graphs, even though the data is spelled out in the plainest of terms.

But, of course, to you and Necrosis, the graph is WAAAAAY more important than the actual numbers shown (clearly displaying Obama's miserable failings on the economy).

FOX's poll numbers already embarressed you and still you defend them. Is this some kind of weird Stockholm syndrome thing?

And you hate Obama but listen to his economic team. Makes sense ::)

Apparently FOX news info even when "plain" to see can cause mistakes.

The info had Romney winning as well.

I remember one true supporter who kept believing to the end.

Maybe you know him he posts on this board defending people that lie to him and suffer from MJ syndrome.

the pie graph equals more the 100% you titty, how is that plainest of terms? clearly false information. Then you have graphs starting at an arbitrary number in order to fool people, there is no other reason for it. They are purposely lying and being deceitful. Just like the predictions they gave election night.

What's funny is that you're whining about a graph, even though the numbers clearly said that unemployment was 8.6% last November.

So, was it 8.6% or not?

Of course, your concern is more about the pretty picture than the fact that unemployment was (and continues to be) WAAAAAY higher that the guy who just got re-elected and his administration said it would be.

Which info? Where on Fox News did EVERY SINGLE PUNDIT on the network call the race for Romney?

Let's see:

Beckel? NOPE!

Williams? NOPE!

Powers? NOPE!

Colmes? NOPE!

Sabato? NOPE!!

Rasmussen? NOPE!

And the list goes on.

Yes, Rove and Morris did make that call. But, the last time I checked, they do NOT make up all of Fox News.

You do realize you can back MORE THAN ONE person on that graph? As if someone who backed Huckabee would ONLY back him and not back Palin or even Romney.  ::)

If that graph allows someone to pick more than one person, you get numbers like that.

And, as for "they", multiple pundits made predictions on the election. The conservatives backed Romney; the liberals backed Obama...WHAT A SHOCKER!!!  ::)

As if that weren't enough, that graph is NOT from the Fox News Channel but from a local Fox affiliate in CHICAGO.

well, i think the graph probably is more important than the labels on the graph. if people see a trend line, thats what they pay attention to.. not so much the particulars of the data it represents.  and if the trend line is misleading, then that is going to cause confusion.

McWay, are you being intellectually dishonest or can you really not see that, in the graph, 8.6 is at a higher position than 8.8?

Come on, man. You're embarrassing yourself on here.
