Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: How can you trust the media

Your trying to use a fox news blog as a credible source for this?

You just defeated your own argument. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Re: How can you trust the media

If Fox is no less credible than any other American news source, then it's simple logic.  Since I'm studying for math now, I'm putting this in equation form:

X=Fact in question
P=Probability of Fact X being true
S=Credibility of source of fact X
L=Credibility of sources that say fact X is wrong

P=S
P=-L

S=-L (The more credible the source of Fact X is, the less credible the sources that say Fact X is wrong would be)

Notice the problem?  It's circular.

P, the validity of X, is based upon S.  S is based upon -L.  -L is based upon both S and P.


You have to use outside sources.  Otherwise, it becomes a circular loop of terrible math.

Re: How can you trust the media

Please don't use math. We don't need to know anything more than the fact that it's fox news, the joke of the reporting world. I lost all respect for them after their stupid Mass Effect reporting fiasco. I actually loled when I saw the "Fair and Balanced" next to the fox logo on that website. What a joke.

All mass media is a joke. CNN and MSNBC are just as big of liars.

Re: How can you trust the media

All countries have shit media. Countries like Russia have state-run media, and countries like the U.S. have two split factions of media.

Media is useless. In the future all information will be in an online feed form and personal opinions will be contained within personal blogs.
