Back in the 1930's a law was passed that prevented this sort of news. Several GOP Presidents appointed new US Supreme Court Justices to the Court and they voted that law as unconstitutional. Thus FIX News and Fox Noise was born along with the Rush Limbaugh Lying and distorting radio program. America has been worse off ever since.
FOX NOISE is run by a former GOP Party Chairman and that should tell you how far they will go to distort the truth and to mislead the American Public.
Unfortunately they get by with these distortions all the time
I would vote to shut fox noise down in a heart beat. They should have the power to that TV network cut off for good.
The news has gotten to the point that half the time it's O'Reiley talking about Oberman and vise versa. When you get a Cable News Network spending more time attacking their competition than talking about REAL NEW, America Loses.
And to think that they used the logo "fair and balanced". They have never been fair and they are seldom balanced in their news broadcasts.
Give me" Politically Incorrect" back any day. They took that show off the air and put Tucker Carlson on instead. Now we have X GOP congressman on MSNBC giving a right slant to the news.
One former GOP Presidential Candidate that could get only less than 4% of the vote is on Cable News all the time. Who cares what he has to say. 96% of Americans who voted for the President chose to not vote for him and voted for Bush Instead. If not for the butterfly ballet he would not have gotten any votes.
This country has turned so far to the right it's pathetic. And look what it got us. Rich getting super rich and the poor walking to work as they can't afford to buy gasoline anymore.
EXXON with huge excessive and record profits and the number of people filing for bankruptcy at an all time high.
They won't care until the Stock Market Crashes and then you will hear those with all their money invested will start howling loudly.

Such things can be done in indicated satire and caricatures, but throwing it into regular programs and trying to make the victim unsympathetic to the audience that way, borders to criminal energy.
Unfortunately, mass opinion can be easily manipulated by adjusting sympathy and antipathy.
And many people buy it, uncritically (else there would be no point in trying it).
This way, values like free speech, and free elections can be hollowed out and abandoned without ever needing to officially abandon the principle of free speech and free elections.
FOX - " uargh..." Even in Germany that name has become a synonym for very bad quality "journalism" and abusing media power for malicious manipulation of media freedom. To call it a pure propaganda station is closer to the truth. |
