News Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch argues that all news media - News Corp's own Fox News included - is inherently prone to bias, and that the best counter to this problem is a diverse media representing a variety of opinions.

Rupert Murdoch is the chairman and chief executive officer of News Corporation, a global media company with properties in film, television, print and online.

I knew Murdoch ... ( 4 months ago by Whoo69)
I knew Murdoch would be on Fora sooner or later, the aging rich cockroach. He makes it seem like he actually carse about things like objectivity, but you can tell he's laughing at all the people who actually believe it's "fair and balanced" since he wants to help the GOP as much as possible.
Rupert Murdoch is the major evil genius of media. Ted Turner's just an inept old liberal. The true "fair and balanced" of the Big 3 cable news networks is MSNBC.
I must admit, he's ... ( 4 months ago by Whoo69)
I must admit, he's got that old Republican/Bush denial and obfuscation trick down pretty well. All the evil geniuses like Ashcroft, Tom Ridge, Donald Rumsfeld, and Cheney are experts at it. "We're not biased! We have an equal number of people from both sides" (which is absolutely false since Hannity and O'Reilly, for example, tend to ambush any liberal or opposing guests a lot). Murdoch acts like he has little actual power over what goes on on Fox, but that's nonsense. Ailes is his buddy.

Hmm, surprisingly I agree with most of what he says, except that Fox in no way at all is "alternative," and the whole "liberal bias" thing is bullshit. Oh yeah, and the student asked about a how the media produce a "worldview," which includes both liberal and conservative but shuts out everything else.

what i can't understand is why they have the largest news market share. could it be that the sexy blondie anchors or finger pointing bullys are the draw. fox presents the news like a sport almost. " here's the good guy and there's the bad guy, now lets see who wins".
i still don't get it!

"do you think the requirements of democracy are better served by a variety of biased news sources or by a variety of sources all promoting an essentially neutral or unbiased point of view"
"the more voices the better"
then he talks about how newspapers have become a monopoly when his company buys newspapers out & takes advantage of the repealing of the law that says you can't control more than one form of media in one town?!
FUCKING SNAKE

Fox News is great at breaking the liberal monopoly on the media, and the liberal fascists hate that freedom of expression and plurality of views.

I'm not sure which liberal fascists you're referring to (you mean the ones wiretapping your phones and email without warrants or the ones invading other countries for no reason?), but the reasons - from bullshit economic analysis to terrorist fist jabs - are good. The more fox news you watch, the less you know, and the more you think you know, kind of a molotov cocktail of idiocy.
Excuse me for ... ( 4 months ago by stone1home)
Excuse me for noticing the slight self-contradictions in what this guy says and what he has done.
Also, the question posed was nonsensical. Since when are there two possible viewpoints: "biased" and "neutral"? What ever happened to "right" and "wrong"? (or moral v. immoral, or accurate v. inaccurate, &c.)
To call a spade a spade, the 'biased v. neutral' idiom is a construct of modern mass media, intended solely to limit the scope of debate.

The liberal fascists overrulling the will of the people forcibly through the abuse of our judicial system, these ideologues who keep garnering greater control and centralization in the name of Global Warming, wealth redistribution or racial equality, humane themes hijacked by cynical politicians who thirst only for power. Oh and you may paint Bush as the all and all of evil, but liberals have conducted themselves like true traitors and hateful hysteric anti-Americans... I used to be a Democrat.

you are out of your goddamn mind and what the fuck is a liberal fascist? thats an oxymoron. liberal overrule the will of the people? are you fucking serious? its the big business elite who overrule the will of the people you stupid asshole.
"liberals have conducted themselves like true traitors and hateful hysteric anti-Americans"

you are a excessively blindly patriotic and nationalistic, you dont question authority, you label anyone who doesnt agree with you anti American and you are calling liberals fascists?!?!?! hollly shit. even you name is nationalistic. ein reich, ein volk, ein fuhrer, ein news channel you fucking fascist nazi scum. i bet the constitution and separation of powers is anti American to you too huh?

It's not even entirely because of oil. It's for the military industrial complex and, especially, Israel's interest.
This man is, Rupert Murdoch, is full of shit. The media isn't exclusively liberal or conservative, though each station does have a sort of bias to it (FNC particularly)-- it's not about liberal vs. conservative. It's about corporate interests, and it's these corporate interests that keep this bi-partisan warfare alive.
It's about the control of information to the masses.

Bias is everywhere though the level of bias is what differs. There's no such thing as neutrality in propaganda.

yeah i know and i said military indus complex thats a big one. a never ending war on terror sure is good for the military industrial complex. i mean youd have to be out of your damn mind to think that all of the sudden a bunch of "freedom haters" popped out of nowhere for no reason who hate America because they hate freedom its scary that people really are stupid enough to believe that.

what has happened ... ( 3 months ago by joshchannel)
what has happened in america's government can only be described as a coup. but the big media (the only official voice) will never pronounce it. this is conclusive proof that the various world media has a common control panel.
The associated ... ( 3 months ago by JNStMarks)
The associated press is owned by another social elite called the Rothschild's and the Rockefeller's. Rupert Murdock should be tried for violation of voter tampering, using his control over the news in order to wage a false war on Iraq, aiding the Israeli take over of Iraq's fuel, and killing thousands of innocent women and children. This man will need to be tired and sent to prison where he belongs, while paying all his money in retribution. His Corps, and foundations need to paid to victims.
Murdoch's statement ... ( 3 months ago by yedrellow)
Murdoch's statement is flawed because the main source of bias on the news is due to selection of information, not the occasional person editorialising. If you take the Russian-Georgian conflict for example, there was certainly a level of omission of detail on the actions of the Georgians leading up to the Russian response.
Similarly, Russian news failed to mention the actions of the South Ossettians.

"using his control over the news in order to wage a false war on Iraq" I thought the American Government started the Iraq war not fox news.
Of course ALL media ... ( 5 days ago by gunnermac70)
Of course ALL media will have a bias. This is only natural as it's the product of PEOPLE and everyone, no matter how well meaning, will view and interpret the world through their individual prism. That's why good editoral policy is important if you want to present a considered and balanced view.
What is really of concern is the wilful manipulation of facts to suit a pre-determined ideology (a la Fox News).
