It looks like Fox News is full of lies, according the newest report by Politifact. It's actually not even close when compared to the other networks.

Cheers!

(62,444 posts)Getting paid for posting a link to a "story" on one blog about what's being said on another blog.

"Examiners are paid based on a black box system, which quantifies page views and other metrics, or the "Gawker-model" made famous by the blog Gawker.com. Examiner.com offered a variety of pay scale options to its writers. Examiner.com now bases compensation on variables such as subscriptions, page view traffic and session length."
So, please, make sure you click on the link in the OP.

(62,444 posts)All he posts is pure tripe - in this instance "Oh, someone said something at Politico" - farts out a couple of poorly-written short paragraphs, posts it here, ignores any discussion, and gets paid for clicks.
That's really insulting.
How many other forums is he doing this to?

(2,427 posts)It is rude and as I mentioned in another thread of theirs, I am not sure it's not a bot. In fact, it probably is a bot.
Cheers!

(62,444 posts)Of course that would make it a lot easier to pump out the links to a lot of forums.

(20,998 posts)"After gathering and fact checking statements for over a year, Politifact found that 58 percent of the claims made on Fox News were rated mostly false, false, or "Pants on Fire" false. When rating the claims made by rival MSNBC, 43 percent of the claims were rated at least mostly false, with 57 percent being labeled as at least partly true. CNN did the best on the "Truth-O-Meter" with only 23 percent of their claims being rated as mostly false or worse."

(1,042 posts)Not only is FOX bad, but MSNBC generates 57% accuracy and CNN is at 77% truth. Why can't we have media sources without bias? Of course, this rates cable news, I'd like to think that network news is better.

(65,616 posts)needs to take the Turing test. Every human writer knows the word is 'untrustworthy'. My suspicions grow.
