I may be missing something in that first picture, can you explain further? Fox News is just using sensationalist headlines is what I see.

You mean it's fine for news organizations to use sensationalist headlines or right wing talking points phrased as questions?

Moscow says asylum 'will be considered' for Snowden if requested

Fox News posted:

Moscow has opened the door to asylum for NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden.

There is no official information that the 29-year-old Snowden has applied for asylum, after admitting he exposed U.S. surveillance programs that have logged millions of phone calls and the Internet activities of Americans.

However, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday the Communist country would consider such an asylum request.

"If such an appeal is given, it will be considered,” Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Russian newspaper Kommersant. “We'll act according to facts."

Ann Coulter thrived on calling liberals evil, so much so that once the Tea Party became a thing, she couldn't keep up with it.

The entire quoted basis in the article is one weirdo professor and "MyVoucherCodes.co.uk". foxnews.com is a tremendously funny site, if only for how poorly they write their articles. The article claiming Russia is a "Communist country" still hasn't been edited.

Wait, so Fox just published a story that not only suggested that we're more than 6,000 years old, that we evolved from a previous form, but also that Jesus isn't going to be here in the next decade? And doesn't the average Fox News viewer hate anime with a passion?

Fox News regularly reposts content from other websites and the AP wire with only minor rewording, even if it's a story that goes against their narrative. They're lazy hacks in addition to being biased fucks. I'd be more confused if they published something original along those lines.

"pig health hurt by GMO feed" is their conclusion drawn from one study which found that pigs eating one variety of genetically modified corn had higher rates of stomach inflammation than those eating non-GM corn.

They also have a lead-in on their main page being insulting to Snowden for telling a local Chinese newspaper that Chinese citizens have been spied on by the US. "Fair and balanced".

Does the average Fox viewer even know what anime is? I'd imagine the closest thing they have to knowledge of it is having their grandkids watch Dragonball Z and Pokemon.

What's going on with Buzzfeed? Their political section seems to get more slanted with time. They had a Koch sponsored event recently. The odious Villager Ben Smith is running the show - I don't get it.

I don't get how cat pictures, lists, and LGBT meshes with right wing slanted political news. Is this a Republican attempt to get the kids on board with Wingnut crazytrain?

From watching the video it looks like more of Beck's usual schtick. From time to time on his show he'd have a poignant monologue about how totally apolitical he is and how much he just wishes we could all love each other and get together and solve America's problems before it's too late and blah blah blah. This just looks like a stunt where he gave one of those speeches using stuff written and drawn on note cards because he lost his voice.

I think Three Olives summed it up pretty well in the GBS thread.

"This has always been Glenn Beck's shtick, mainly because he is a creepy Mormon playing to a conservative Christian audience. Mormons and conservative Christian messaging has always played down those lines, we love the gays, that's why we are trying to save them from hell for being filthy faggots. We love the poor, that's why we are trying to teach them bootstraps. We love the Muslims, that's why we are trying to save them from hell."
