dilbertyard Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Rush gained entry following its first appearance on the ballot after repeatedly being left off the list since gaining eligibility in 1998, to the great consternation of the legion of Rush fans who cried bias against progressive rock. The long wait didn't seem to matter at Thursday's star-studded concert event, which ran over 5 hours. Peart, lead singer Alex Lifeson and guitarist Geddy Lee made up for lost time by launching into a rambunctious rendition of "Tom Sawyer" in front of more than 7,000 attendees.

Snaked Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I love bashing Faux News just as much as the next guy.. but if you look at the byline that is actually an Associated Press story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Not many news outlets get it right anyway, so this thing about Fox News is nothing unique. I'm sure MSNBC gets it wrong as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I remind you of who was first to report the arrest of a suspect in the Marathon bombing? Only a nitpicker would bring up the fact that the reports were inaccurate... You're right because all news networks should actually have a reliable source (like the Boston PD or FBI) when making huge claims. Come to think of it, when I used to watch TV news regularly I expected FACTS from CREDIBLE SOURCES, which CNN had neither on that report. Anyway, this is a discussion for SOCN, not the :rush: subforum. I'm sure there's a thread in there where people have already posted everything in this thread already.

pony2112 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 CNN and gold standard for accuracy in journalism? :laughing guy: +1 +2...If you guy's bash Fox News, it's because you fear the TRUTH of light being shown on Obama. CNN and MSLSD are nothing but cheerleaders for Obama, and an extension of the white house. They hide things like Benghazi from the sheep...and you hate on Fox for reporting it. But, what do I know....I'm from Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's an AP report that Fox carried as pointed out above. It's lazy reporting since it would be very easy to fact check who does what in Rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketom Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 MSNBC is the real news source in America. When there anchors start weeping when the Gun control bill fails, that's real unbiased journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
