My Mood: SL Join Date: 12/2006 | I'm thinking about signing it. As it is I'm beginning to this this freedom of the press bullshit has gone too far and they should be forced to report the news, as it is, without their idiotic spin or hammering it into the ground. (That includes all the cable news networks)

| I'll definitely be watching Fox News on election night. It'll be delicious to see as it all crumbles around them . Especially if Rove (mr. "Permanent Republican Majority") is on the desk. |

Business: ANOmations Blog Entries: 16 XBOX Leaderboard: 22nd | I think it is a good thing, though I do wish there were additional limits on how much a company can own. With all of these megacorporations owing huge swaths of the media, it makes unbiased coverage harder and harder to find, and the line between news and press releases blur even further. |

Life Buoy, on the other

| i no longer watch the (um, mainstream?) news, no matter what the channel. i get my weather reports online, which tend to be far more accurate. i get a lot of my news here on this board. the only other channel i rely on for current events is this: news // current i don't know how many of you have access to this channel, but all of it is completely user created. (even most of the commercials.) you can post videos comments on the stories, some of which end up being broadcast. it's a really cool deal. puts the news back into the hands of the people. (i like it, anyway. ) covers a whole range of thoughts on any number of topics. |

Here's where the myth starts: That all of those excerpted little snippets, pounced on by a couple of liberal attack groups, represent all that is Fox and warrant this sort of ridiculous shit storm. Fox has a right to their opinion just like MoveOn and Fox Attacks. The people confusing their opinion with NEWS are the radicals, not Fox. I think what we have here is the same level of rhetoric from the Left that we saw from the Right during the last two elections with all the Michael Moore baloney - anything that doesn't pander to the golden boy of choice is "outrageous and objectionable". It doesn't serve any purpose other than to get a bunch of people pissed off for nothing. But that's what MoveOn is best at doing. Wake me up when MoveOn starts to represent a single thing that's important to the middleclass American mainstream. Maybe then they'll matter.

My Mood: | Not all of us are willing to be spoon fed liberal trash from every angle of the media these dayss. You -can't- criticize Obama without immediately being branded racists, which I most certainly am not. I dont believe in raising my taxes so people who refuse to work can have the sane standard of living as those of us who do. Its called socialism, and lkast time I looked at the history books it was rather frowned on by the American public. Fox has a lot of commentary type shows, but they also have some good debates, and trust me..none of their stuff is any more inflammatory than what you hear on the big 3 (nBC< CBS< ABC) any more. People who live in glass houses should be careful throwing stones |

The clips did NOT portray Fox newscasts. They were EDITORIAL OPINION, and some weren't even Fox analysts. They were guests. Get back to me when you also start criticizing the bullshit that passes for "opinion" from Chris Matthews, Al Franken, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Ken Olberman and Michael Moore. I don't see much of that around here, so I think I know where you can stick your opinion. | |
