Fox News bias exposed for what it is.
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 08:54 PM by Swede
Is Canada Ready for loudmouth tv?


Thus begins an onslaught of anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, pro-Republican rhetoric that only a true believer could construe as impartial. Softball questions for Bushies, sneers for Kerry backers; lingering shots of Bush noshing with the regular folk and brief clips of Kerry looking tired and awkward. Right-wing partisans billed as impartial experts fill the channel's prime-time shows. One teaser promises to "get to the bottom" of the controversy over Bush's Vietnam-era military record, yet throws to an interview with Byron York, a political writer for the conservative biweekly National Review. Citing information supplied by the White House, York authoritatively confirms that Bush fulfilled his obligation to the Texas Air National Guard -- forget those reports suggesting he was truant during the last two years. Untroubled by a need for documentary proof, York assures us Bush was flying "several times a month" during those last 24 months to meet his minimum of service credits. "Well," concludes host Brit Hume, apparently satisfied, "that seems to be what he did to get those points."

1. itll be interesting to see how Fox goes over
in an educated society. My guess is that Faux gets the torch/pitchfork treatment that we should have given them years ago.

And monarchy is bad for everyone.

PS Fox News get off the air.By the way if Fahrenheit 9/11 can't be shown because of electioneering laws then neither should FOX NEWS.

4. corporate run government is bad for democracy

TV run by government that's ran by the people ain't that bad.
Though you still might want to have all of public controlled media, government run media and commercial media, for added safeguard against concentration of media power.
