Faux Noise:

Hillary Clinton backer paid $500G to fund women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct before Election Day, report says

In the article they give their source The New York Times. Fine so far, the article actually says pretty much what Faux says it says (the article doesn't state that the donor was a Hillary backer but they're clearly on that side.) However, the New York Times article isn't attacking Hillary over this--it's attacking both sides.

Nobody wants to address the actual point--the biased reporting?

Probably because nobody here takes your source seriously. Corroborate with another.

You don't like the New York Times?

Besides, my point was how Faux reported the same thing that the New York Times originally reported.

Oh. In that case they probably just don't care. I dunno...

Coming in here and saying Fox News is biased is much like walking into a NAMBLA meeting and making a retort, "Did you guys know you all looks like Marlon Brando?"

Pointing out that Fox news is biased in 2017-18 is as dated as Monty Python jokes. Everybody has already made their minds up.

Biased reporting? By Fox? Who would have thunk it?

OK, seriously now: No comment from me regarding the actual point because I am simply speechless that Fox of all the reputable spreaders of manure news stories would stoop to spin-doctoring or bias. Really.

Loren, please be sure to let us all know when you decide what religion is most likely supported by the current pontiff; or whether it is implausible that bears choose to diligently avoid forested land when choosing a site at which to defecate.

Why don't you tell us why you think that it is biased? You state that it is biased as an established fact. I have read the story in the Times and don't see any reason to think that it is biased. It is not usual for lawyers to raise money to fund a lawsuit. It is an expensive thing to do and there is little chance that such a suit would produce more money than it costs to pursue.

There was nothing wrong about it when Brock raised the money for the lawsuits against the Clintons in the 1990's and there is nothing wrong with raising money to sue Trump. Remember that he threatened to sue the women who accused him of sexual harassment. They have every right to raise a defense fund or to sue him.

I'm not saying the New York Times is biased. My point was how Faux Noise reported on what the New York Times said. Compare the two articles!!

Loren, I don't think that pointing out that FOX is biased is the lesson learned here. As I alluded to before, by now you ever already know that or will never be convinced of it. A better point you might want to make is how parasitic and hypocritical Fox news is.

Consider, the only way Foxnews was able to promote its "Hillary funded smear campaign" crap was through the investigative work of the New York Times as shown in your post. This is not the first time this has happened. And it gets far worse on any event/incident that is 125 metres from the US coastline. The best example I can think of that highlights this was during the Iraq war when Fox had to use Al Jazera footage because they simply didn't have enough journalists embedded; whilst at the same time condemning the Al Jazera network.

And that's the hypocrisy of Fox right there. Without the so called biased liberal mainstream media existing to do the investigating for them, Fox wouldn't exist as a news outlet. Personally, I think that is a more pertinent point than its obvious bias. Fuck, it wouldn't surprise me if the network spends more on sexual harassment lawsuits than actual investigating.
