why would someone name a news channel after a movie studio? |

would a WB news channel be 'fair and balanced'?

4. Fox produced news reels in the early 20s, 30s |
|
News is an old business for Fox. Happened long before evil Rupert Murdoch ever appeared on the scene. Long before TV even.
(Didn't you post this same question months ago in DU1? Or is this a mistaken case of déjà vu?)

5. Those Newsreels were PROPOGANDA....So Faux news shouldn't shock anyone |
|
Looking back, my grandmother used to tell me, "People in the USA will listen to everything and anything the government tells them, basically because they're the government and they wouldn't lie to us. We're their bosses." Then she'd laugh this beautiful laugh and go..."SUCKERS!" Oh, and she told the best dirty jokes. LOL Duckie

6. It's all about entertainment... |
