Fox News Spins UC research

2

2Lazy

The problem I see in the whole thing is the propaganda machine. Fox is notorious for placing editorial spin on news rather than doing any research. If any of you would watch the Daily Show you might get a little perspective on the whole Fox thing.

It just isn't news. Its more like a rumor mill than a fact machine. So long as people can still think for themselves then I don't worry much about the damage Fox News can do. Its just a matter of time until China takes over and the USA tears itself apart in another civil war, finally dividing north from south the way it should be.

Don't get me wrong. I love America, but I really can't stomach having to share a country with judgmental and closed minded individuals. Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck are like the Hitler and Mussolini of our times in my opinion, and don't get me started on the ditzed out blonds.

Bass Akwards, you need to jump off the grammar bus. You can suck my grammar...and, and, kiss my gap toothed ass. Got it?

What an unbelievable bigot you are. No, actually it's not unbelievable, and in fact it is right on par with your pals on the left.

Your loved redistribution of wealth is killing us as a nation...and why? Because you and your party simply do not get it. You don't understand that your beloved system is only good for keeping man down. It also hampers fiscal growth of the nation. And again, that is something that simple minded leftists don't understand, or want to understand, as long as their form of societal rule is in place and they have a secure seat at your table.

Wow some real stupid points being made about the left here & right lets just say that trying to run a country by one set of standards isn’t going to work as the US is a shite due to the Rights being in power.

You need a mix of both like Free health care I saw cbn news last week & they had some pig thick twats banging on about social health care being sub par, When the reporter laid down the facts about pills costing 2 cent to make but being sold at $90 as the hospitals can charge this as the insurance people will just bump up your health care cost the mong's form this tea party crowed had no retort apart from saying commie health care will kill us....

On the other hand you do need business to be survival of the fittest & this is where capitalism comes in but sadly that model has been an epic fail the last few years.

I mean how brain washed are these people that they think they need to spend thousands of $$$$$ for health care when a few bucks a week from everyone in the country would cover you in the exact same way?????

The country I live in the Doctors have turned around to the Health minister & told her that they will refuse to work in a two tier health system as they are trying to make more private hospitals the norm here as well.

p.s Fox news is considered as a joke channel where I live as its total far right shi*
If the right had problem with dogs they would run a story about dog cartels with ak's killing school kids for their milk money......

See, superjoint...that is a stupid fucking thing to say. And of course we know peanut chimes in because he loves stupid shit.

Here's the thing...if you are honest with us, you will admit that you don't know one fucking thing about what Glenn Beck says or does. You are simply a parrot.
Stop being a parrot and take up my challenge. Watch his upcoming show, and you counter each and every point he makes that is wrong, a lie, or out and out stupid. Let's see what you got.
If you are honest, you will find that he is presenting the truth. And if not, show us.
OR..I suggest you shut the fuck up with such ignorant drivel.
Or maybe that is all you are about? If so, then by all means continue to be a part of the mindless dregs of society.

It really irks the fuck out of me how some people live their lives and think what they think.
Hiding behind the comfort of their computer screens, shouting out things they have no fucking idea about. And barely any of them with the guts to back up their shit..it is always hit and run dumbass with these folks.

You've shown yourself to be "less than learned".

Beginning a sentence with the word "And" is generally considered to be substandard English. You did it twice in a row.

Here, we've corrected your punctuation:

"And, even more ridiculous, you try to show me as less than learned."



You really do need an editor.

In addition, you should consult a mental health professional.

If you really believe that women's suffrage, the progressive income tax, the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Trade Commission are "vile progressive poison", you really should have your head examined.

As for the decline in literacy, the primary culprit is Television. Though it might be a "social disaster" in and of itself, TV certainly wasn't "thrust upon our citizenry" by Woodrow Wilson, or anyone else on the Left.



Why are we not surprised by your 3rd sentence beginning with "And"?

You seem to be forgetting the redneck Southern racists who've been the core of the Republican base for the past 40 years. Talk about dumb! Where would the Republican Party be if it weren't for pasty-white, gap-toothed, high school graduates, who juggle snakes at church?



By the way, ... so do you!

Richard Nixon said it himself: "We're all Kenyesian's now."

Think of the American economy as a game of Monopoly. What happens when someone gets all the money in a game of Monopoly? The game is over. If you want to keep playing, the money has to be "redistributed". Are you ready for the game to be over? If not, then we suggest you study the causes of the Great Depression, especially the dynamics of overproduction.

Some people have to be physically stopped before understanding they have lost.

Nice read

Some people have to hear what they want to hear to feel like they have won. I find it much more interesting to try to understand those i disagree with than I do to listen to someone I agree with. Although I must admit the latter is more pleasurable.

Here, we've corrected your punctuation:
and...and another thing. This is the internet, and specifically a message board. it is widely accepted that correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation are not the norms here.
Pound your correcting, with a bag of salt, right up your ass.
Was that grammatically correct and punctuated properly?

I suggest you try to defend the points of the original topic, and save your schooling on the infiltration of the progressive socialist movement in America for another thread.
And you sure do need to be schooled on some history.

Amazing that in 2010 people still cant agree to disagree without all the hostility. Very sad.

Texicannibus, ...very wise!

I didn't read the whole thread but I just wanted to say,

I think fox news is a joke. There's a youtube clip somewhere where they are reporting on an indoor bust in florida and in there words " this is not your average marijuana plant, this indoor weed is 300% percent stronger than normal, and will actually kill you "

I'm still laughing about that.

Yeah I saw that clip from Orlando Salinas of Fox News. He definitely was parroting what some DEA agent told him without properly checking on the facts first.
Every news channel, and every business and walk of life for that matter, has an asshole or two that really bumble shit up. Look at Geraldo...what a piece of work that loon is.

But I started looking at youtube stuff about fox news coverage of the pot debate, and I can tell you that you are going to find MANY more examples of them providing fair and honest debate...with fair questions and answers. No bias by the commentator, just a debate in most every instance.

Folks have this screwed up perception...and it is one of the reasons that we elected someone completely out of league with being a president, with barely any experience at all.
I think a surprising amount of Americans either have their perceptions all fucked up by the indoctrination they have been receiving, or, bless their hearts...they are just simply stupid.
:dunno:

I was reading something the other day about how some folks operate on the internet. There was mention of folks who always like to communicate using large and unique fonts, when the rest of the group uses a normal default type font. There was a clinical name for such a person, and I think it was something similar to the guy that stuffs socks in his drawers trying to make folks think he is packing lots of junk, when in reality they have little bitty pee pee's. Inferiority or sumsuch....
:dunno:

No, ROJO, I do not fail. I happen to watch Fox News on a regular basis (surprise) and I have not seen first hand the one sided bullshit coming from Fox that gets reported.
The whole thing is perception...because folks like you, and other lathered up imbeciles, never watch Fox News. You probably don't sit down and absorb much any news at all. Although I did see one of your threads that explained how you enjoyed Keith Olberman and how spot on his shit was. (that should tell many of us lots right there)
What you do, is play cheerleader. Anytime I can be seen in a debate on this board, it won't take long for you to throw your little snide remarks and hatchet jobs around.
You won't even have one fucking clue as to the substance of the debate, yet here you come offering up your less than learned take on things.

These threads that come up about Fox News and the right wing of our society, is nothing but the indoctrinations showing though. All they will have to back up their assertions is the cheer-leading they get from other morons, and occasionally they will find a hate site on the internet that provides them with clips taken out of context to help try to prove their point.
Not a one of the bozos can take the actual piece discussed and debate the content of it.

Take the piece that this thread was all about...the title leads us to believe that Fox has placed some sort of biased spin on some MJ research. However, when we actually read the piece, there was no spin at all. Not one bit of spin. It only reported the story and what was told to the reporter by the researcher. There was nothing to do with Fox spinning anything at all.
Yet, lathered up imbeciles just don't seem to grasp things, and probably don't even comprehend what they read...IF they even read it.
I am going to paste up the original piece that this was all about, for the benefit of these folks, like ROJO, who think that each and every thing I offer up is debunked and a failure. Now, anyone care to show me where there is spin placed on this story by Fox News?
Although smoking "moderate" doses of cannabis helps reduce pain in healthy research volunteers, pain is actually increased at high doses, a new study shows.

The November issue of the journal Anesthesiology features a study showing that marijuana, or cannabis, reduces pain only within a smaller dose range.

"Our study suggests that there is a therapeutic window for analgesia, with low doses being ineffective, medium doses resulting in pain relief and high doses increasing pain," said lead author Dr. Mark S. Wallace of University of California, San Diego, in a news release.

Wallace and colleagues evaluated the effects of smoking marijuana on pain responses in 15 healthy volunteers. On different days, the research subjects smoked low, medium or high doses of cannabis (based on the content of 9-delta-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active chemical in marijuana), or an inactive placebo.

Pain was induced by injecting capsaicin, the "hot" chemical found in chili peppers, into the skin. Capsaicin injection is a standard technique used in pain studies, according to the authors.

Five minutes after smoking, none of the three doses of cannabis had any effect on pain responses to capsaicin.

However, 45 minutes after smoking the moderate dose of cannabis, pain was significantly reduced — approximately six points lower on a 100-point scale, compared with the inactive placebo.

In contrast, 45 minutes after smoking the high dose of cannabis, pain scores were increased — about eight points higher than with placebo.

The low dose of cannabis had no effect on pain scores. None of the three doses affected the spread of pain beyond the area injected with capsaicin.

Levels of THC measured in the blood were significantly related to reduced pain scores at the moderate dose of cannabis, but not to the increase in pain with high-dose cannabis. The volunteers' sense of feeling "high" increased with each dose of cannabis, even though the pain-relieving effects did not.

"With several states having passed laws legalizing the medical use of cannabis, there has been a call for more research on medicinal cannabis," said Wallace.

Wallace and colleagues call for further research, including studies of the clinical value of the pain-reducing effects. Based on this studies findings, Wallace said he would not recommend marijuana as a method of pain reduction at this time.

See...a fine example of what I am talking about.
BTW...the piece I quoted was the article this thread was about, dumbass.
But of course you didn't read it, the thread makes no difference to you.
I would absolutely love to see what sort of person you really are. I'm thinking a loser with big time issues. At least that is what you are presenting to us here. Probably a goofy looking fucker too, which helps add to your angry issues.

ROJO, do you feel that you are a good example of the folks on the left side of the political spectrum?

Fox isn't usually that bad, just conservatives are slower to get on the pot train than others...but since they are pro Constitution, if it was upheld, smoking pot would fall under personal choice which isn't supposed to be legislated...it's only a matter of time...

Spot on!
And that is the jist of the point I have been trying to make for years about the left vs the right, when it comes to MJ legislation. The left doesn't seem to get the Constitutional thing and the rights of persons.

This is SPOT ON.........http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/networks/foxnews/foxnews.html

couple gems,
The Fox News Channel is so far from reality that it's laughable -- which is why it's an industry joke.
Fox News Channel does not provide any reliable information. Its method of seamlessly combining commentary and news reports has transformed its style of TV news into nonsensical jabberwocky. Television news, in general, should not be trusted. The corporate owners, General Electric, Viacom, Disney and News Corp., all have agendas through which their news organizations are bound. Yet, Fox News Channel exceeds all expectations in the realm of news distortion and corporate control. The Fox News Channel style of exploiting political pundits as commentators, anchors and reporters presents an agenda -- not reality.

Take the ten minutes and read the link,ANYONE argueing FOR FOX is a Rube:wave:
another fail and I am tired of listenin to yer babble,you cant help it tho,your a victim of brainwashing and mis interpretations:thank you:
