Professor Bans Students From Using Fox News As A Source
While it’s not shocking that a journalism professor would ban students from citing news sources that are not credible, it is eyebrow-raising that one of those sources would be Fox News. In a copy of a syllabus obtained by Fox,Stephanie Wolfe, a visiting professor of journalism at West Liberty University in West Virginia, banned her students from citing Fox because she finds it cringe-worthy.

In the syllabus, the Wolfe banned The Onion and Fox News. “Please do not subject me to this biased news station,” Wolfe wrote. “I would almost rather you print off an article from The Onion.”




The university’s president, Robin Capehart, did not appear to agree with Wolfe’s decision when asked for comment.
“One of our values at West Liberty is to encourage students to go out and inquire and gather information and look at as many different sources as possible on any side, before you reach your opinion,” Capehart told a local West Virginia news outlet. “Any attempt to limit the breadth of a student’s ability to investigate is obviously something at which we have a concern.”

No one is giving MSNBC a pass. We're saying FOXNews is more biased and has much more influence. You could conceivably argue the first point, but you can't argue the second.

I will obviously argue the first since it's absurd. As to the second, I'd agree.

Bullshit the RWNJ thinks FOX is as pure as the driven snow, however the LWNJ feel the same about MSNBC. You lean left so you insist on taking the FOX is worse stance. I have always openly admitted I lean to the right but feel no need to defend FOX as better. At one time I would of but can no longer defend it with a straight face. I lean right for no other reason than I have nothing but disdain for the left and view them as the worse of two evils. It is laughable that you claim FOX has powerful influence. If it does how did an embarrassment of a president get re-elected?

And I am saying that Fox is also just plain old dishonest, misleading, deceitful--whatever you want to call it.

Everyone knows both channels have an agenda. Except for Cosmo. He doesn't know.

There's a difference, at least to me, in being partisan vs just not caring about facts and reality--that's what Hannity does. As a whole, Fox likes to create a false reality and then they spend the day backing up the false reality they created.

Matthews, Maddow, Sharpton, Maher....are pretty much the left's verson of Hanninty...and Beck, Limbaugh, Ingram, Savage, and Boortz. Likewise MSNBC is the left's FOX.

The ONLY real difference is a slight degree of magnitude; that is, the left's nutjobs insist on pretending to be real journalists, whereas the right has for all intents and purposes given up completely on attempting to be real journalists.

JFC--I don't know how many times I've said there is bias. I differentiate them on honesty. Making shit up. Setting up a false reality then have the rest of your shows say, "Some people are saying that..." Yeah--the show on right before you ****ing said it! That's Fox's model.

Other than thinking it is just a slight degree of magnitude I have to rep you for this.

Marginally more than a slight degree of magnitude....does that make it easier for you?

Maybe that will even get BL on board....though not likely. You are easier than BL, Mark....heh.
