In this video the guy talking is mentioning how Fox News misinterpreted a Obama's story of gas prices. Fox News said that Obama was asking Eric Holder to investigate whether the oil companies have manipulated through fraud the rising of gas prices, however the real story was that gas prices are surging to four dollars a gallon, the story is Obama solution to break the back of rising costs is to have attorney general Eric Holder form a task force to examine allege fraud or manipulation of the oil markets. Basically what Fox News was doing is that they were blaming the oil companies for fraud.
Fox News is one of the news channel's that has been using slanted reporting most often. They tend to tell one side of the story instead of telling everything at once. But they do so because there is a time limit being on air.
In this other video from second 27 to minute 3:06 Fox News the Reporter cuts Obama off right when he was about to say he can DO what he exactly just did but Fox News said he's not suppose too. They just gave the side they liked to hear.
I really do believe that fox new is the number one on slanted reporting. They take the side, they want their audience to believe by only presenting one side of the story or trying to emphasis one side. Good job overall on your blog post!
ReplyDeleteYes I believe the same thing as well. & thank you
DeleteI prefer to get the news from the Internet, usually I read newspapers from Italy, or the rest of Europe, and it is so surprising how sometimes the news are so different. It takes time, but at the end is worth, because I don`t feel manipulated
