FoxNews.com, the official website of the Fox News anti-Obama propaganda network, is promoting what it calls the “Obama Change Index.” The index purports to chart “the impact of policies promised by President Obama,” and conveniently graphs Obama’s progress on a scale of 0-700. It appears that Fox’s “change index” is tabulated by asking one Democratic, Republican, and Independent pundit what they think of Obama on 7 different issues: budget, stimulus, homeland security, foreign/military affairs, social issues, dealing with Congress, law and justice. While Obama’s favorable ratings have been going up recently, Fox News’ index unsurprisingly shows Obama tanking. Reddit user KingBeetle writes of the index, “I can’t even figure out what it means, but for some reason this week, Obama is down 271 points.” It’s now 282 points:
A couple of interesting observations from the “Obama Change Index”: On the week of 9/16/09, Obama scored a zero on Homeland Security for no apparent reason. Similarly, Obama scored a zero on “social issues” the week of 6/30/09 because he “tried to placate the gay community.”

I wished there was a "Outfoxed 2.0" honestly dude any media outlet defending Fox News is either dumb or just blind to the things that go on at Fox News.. I wish these people who's defending Fox News take time to go over old Fox News videos from when Bill Clinton was president then watch their coverage when George W. Bush was president and finally watch the coverage of the first 9 months of the Obama administration and tell me that there isn't a clearly far right wing Republican bias on that network.
There's nothing wrong with Fox News being the information department of the Republican Party but to act like Fox News is a down the middle news network is a sick joke, anyone with a high speed internet and can access Media Matters can watch videos where Fox News attack the anti-war protesters calling them anti-American or have hosts like Bill O'Reilly call them traitors and you can also see Fox News promoted a anti government rally and defended those who attended those rallies with their racist anti Obama signs.
Fox News spent the better part of the last eight years defending Bush administration's screw up one after the other and if the Bush administration needed a outlet to spin that screw up they had air time to spin that screw up on one of the various Fox News programs.
