    Blankcd.... puts the blinders on and ignores all the numerous and plentiful crimes of his own political leaders...... but will jump a fence to comment on any crumb left behind by a conservative. Then he will proclaim to be a neutral observer with no bias.

    I dont see anything wrong, thats factually correct. Chinese social unrest is growing amidst the widening income gap.

    Have you not heard of the suicides at the Apple plants?

    China is using citizen slave labor to get rich manufacturing american goods.

    But what does that have to do with a baby being killed over a parking spot?

    Many crimes are due to social issues (poverty and education are social issues by the way). But that doesn't mean every crime should be linked to every single one of these causes. For example, a crime may be due to poverty and not mental illness or vice versa. I don't see why we need to specifically discuss African Americans. This is a topic that applies to all races.

    Why make a leap at all. The purpose of news is to report fact, not speculate.

    That was before Obama.... the democrat machine controls media now. If anything, Fox News is guilty of trying to play the game by their rules and keep up.

    If i repeat something you say, and then you tell me i'm stupid...... that means i win the argument. Get it?

    Im not trying to be political, after rereading the article, i will change my opinion. It was far fetched, no need to put that in the article , it could be just 2 dirtbags being dirtbags.

    My mistake.

    You mean Agence France-Presse... They are the ones that wrote the article. Fox clearly gave credit to them along with the story.

    This isn't a "right wing" story. It's just a standard, listen to this outrageous incident that doesn't affect your life at all but we know you'll read about it because it's just so shocking... story.

    Not sure what you're advocating here. Should the news not tell us when babies are throw to their death or just not tell us when it happens in china?

    I'm advocating the news should tell us stories that are relevant for the readers lives. I don't see how this is relevant for 99% of the audience. This is just my perspective though. Perhaps others find more value in it.

    I don't think they should have covered it to the extent they did. However it is relevant to the American public because many states have or are considering similar stand your ground type laws and the Zimmerman case dealt with some of the controversial aspects of it. Therefor such coverage and discussion can help people to determine whether they think such laws are valid or not. I do not see such value in the Chinese baby story.

    Zimmerman never invoked the "Stand Your Ground" law. It is an irrelevant topic in regards to the Zimmerman trial.

    Yes it should and to a small minority of people it is. I understand this isnt a political issue, but politics is where you really see how absolutely uninformed people really are. Politicians prey on voters too stupid to see past a 30 second attack ad. We do not have an aggressive, unbiased media source out there to rely on for unfiltered info. Not a single source will cover both parties with the same vigor. If that unbiased source was out there, it would force all other news organizations to follow suit for fear of losing readers/viewers and the revenue that they generate. That same, more informed, audience would also prevent overly dramatized pieces and reports from actually making it onto the airwaves.

    I am aware he didn't actually invoke it but the debate started well before the trial.

    You are more optimistic in this arena than I. I think people either consciously or subconsciously want to watch news that confirms their biases. They find it reassuring and comforting to see their world view validated in such a way. That is why Fox became the most popular news network. They affirm a view that was not previously being presented in the news.

    I agree with you when it comes to commentary but we can't even get an evening newscast without a political slant. The Zimmerman trial is a perfect example of this. They are reporting as fact items that were not even relevant to the trial, yes I am talking about stand your ground. They are also skewing facts to fit a narrative they want to convey, Zimmermans race.

    yes but I think they are doing that because it gets ratings. You said that if a truly unbiased objective new source was available, everyone would watch that and all the biased stations would have to clean up their act. I don't think that would be the result of such a station.

    I think we see a small part of that already. Fox News actual news shows are the most centric you can find on TV and it isnt even debatable. Yes, their commentary is GOP, but their news is straight forward.

    Fox is more accurate than other news organizations...... i'm not saying theyre accurate....... just saying that the bar has been set pretty low. The liberal media has been caught in a string of lies post election while a lot of the "crazy redneck right wing nut job conspiracy stories" by Fox have actually gained some credibility.

    Despite the finger pointing campaign by Obama and friends, Fox is not the most biased or inaccurate news source.....

    It's MSNBC by a mile..... theyre the world leader in disinformation.
