Cute freepers turning against Fox

I admit, I've not read the whole thing, I also admit I will NOT take what the MSM says about it seriously... but I do find the fact that FOXNEWS.COM has "Report Finds No Iraq WMD After '91" plastered all over it's website a bit.... MSMish of them...

Well, our "Friends" have done it again. Covering some onesided left leaning activities. Without a counter balanced view. They interviewed Jon Lee Anderson, author of "The Fall of Baghdad". The general conclusion is that Iraqis hate the US, and it will never be passified until our GIs leave.

Now, how do you think that is going to help our Soldiers who will be there for some time now? It can't help, it will hurt them! I have not read this book, and probably won't, but from the discussion out of this guy Anderson's mouth, it made me sick. It is going to hinder the US Military's mission in Iraq. The last time we complained to Fox, it was the one sided "Military Moms support Kerry" standing in from of a big US Flag. Where is the Fox & Friends producer going with all this lefty/anti Troops garbage?

I saw that.
They sure are not fair and balanced now.I was so mad at the FF weekend. I wrote them I would never watch them again.Those news producers are like sharks, if they smell blood they go after someone.

Maybe they need some feedback. They have been a lot more Kerry freindly since the debates.

I have been watching Fox since it first aired. Back in those days, I bought a dish because Fox was not available from Adelphia Cable. Fox News was turned on in the AM and off at bedtime. No longer. I watch Brit, the Beltways Boys and Cavuto. How I miss Tony Snow.

In the past couple years, I have noticed a very pronounced leaning toward the left. My suggestion is a mass mailing effort to Roger Ailes explaining our discontent. We do NOT need another CNN. We all appreciate fair and balanced news. Of late, the cable news networks have become the "Entertainment News Network". It began when they hired, Rivera, Greta, Clift, Estrich, and their likes. I may as well tune in CNN. The only program I watch at CNN is Larry King.

what is going on with Fox? They're supposed to be conservative (never mind this fair and balanced nonsense). It seems like either they're actually leaning left or are trying so hard to be F&B that they're going out of their way to pander to the left.

1. "passified"?

Sheesh! :eyes:

[madmax]

8. Typical 'moran' n/t

[JimmyJazz]

24. you must post the picture with this otherwise they make fun of our

spelling in freeperville. Geez. (Spelling is their spessialty)

[NoPasaran]

63. truth be demand!

[LuminousX]

64. Pass-ify

Pass - A sexual invitation or overture.
ify - suffix meaning 'to make'

Passify - to make a sexual invitation or overture.

[snowbear]

2. LOL!

They are seriously TWISTED over there! :bounce:

[rooboy]

3. Damn Fox liberal hippies. n/t

[JimmyJazz]

9. stoned slackers, all of them I tell ya! Oh no wait,

that's us. sorry. my bad.

[Carla in Ca]

16. LOL...

[0007]

36. .....yeah goddamnit they ain't fair & balanced like they use to be

let's start a mass mailing to those commie pinkos!

[debatepro]

4. Business

perhaps they know kerry is going to be president and that they will never get another story from the white house again.

[krkaufman]

55. Or maybe it's about advertising dollars.

I'm wondering if the "quality" of viewers affects ad revenue. Maybe Fox is being hurt by the studies showing their viewers to be uninformed, uneducated boobs, with advertisers shifting their dollars to shows that draw a more well-educated crowd, like TDS.

Of course, this assumes there's actually any shift at all in Fox's reporting, which I doubt. I expect the freepicide is just due to freepers' inability to receive any negative news, after years of conditioning.

[JimmyJazz]

5. WTF does ;this mean:

To: beyond the sea
more like accusing
I got a SN over at DU. In fact I got more than one.

[RandomKoolzip]

15. I think it stands for "Screen Name."

Oh no! They've infiltrated us! Everyone hit the deck! They're here to "passify" us!

[JimmyJazz]

22. so what your telling me is that let's say I was registered over there,

kinda flying under the radar but with a really cute "Clashified" screen name and a Joe Strummer quote in my sig line - they might not like it so much? Is that it? Because I really, really doubt any of us would be able to get by over there without getting caught -they are soooo much smarter than us. Am I going to get in trouble for this one?

[Wat_Tyler]

60. Ah! So you admit it. You are a troll!

I knew it! :evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

61. Yes and I am soooooo deep undercover, I had a Marxist

star and a clash lyric tattooed to my left (of course) hip! They'll never catch me but, I hope they are searching frantically for a screen name that references the clash and a joe strummer quote - that oughta keep em busy for a while!

Here's a picture of myself:



As you can see, I'm having a bit of a bad hair day.

[JimmyJazz]

29. Surely we can help this poor soul:

"Driving home from work today, I saw some college pukes in Springfield standing on the street with their Kerry Edwards signs. Unable to come up with something clever to say, I just yelled "Kerry Sucks" out of my car window.

If anyone is planning any pro-bush rallies in South East PA, I want in. I'm sick of these know nothing no-it-alls and their socialist agenda. Freepmail me if anyone has any ideas on how to tick off these libs and make them cry."

___

Imagine that, a freeper couldn't think of something clever to say. How about, "Cheney's hot and your not."

[5thGenDemocrat]

41. How about "HEY!! I gotcher Weapon of Mass Destruction..."

"In my PANTS!!!"
John
Who has something pink and friendly in his.

[AnIndependentTexan]

17. sounds like it means

They think they are smart because they know how to register more then one name and account at places. Meaning that we have freeper lurkers. Maybe we should wave hi to them and say even a monkey can register with a forum; but the biggest chimps of them all can't even give the right address out at a debate.

[JimmyJazz]

26. I think that we should use as much foul language in our

posts as possible. They aren't allowed to use profanity (what with the 1st amendment not applying over there and all) - therefore, if we use profanity, they won't be able to cut and copy our posts the way they normally do --- mmmm - think I might be on to something?

Just in case I am - fuck!

[JimmyJazz]

27. You mean like these guys:

They could be registered and posting and we wouldn't know about it???
Fuck.

[crispini]

37. bwahahahahaha!

Bravo!

Hi Freeps! :hi:

Edit: sorry, I forgot! Fuck fuck fuck!

[oldhat]

6. Sunk

[kerryin2004]

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

Fox NEWS Didn't stay on the White House talking points 24/7..They diverted for 20 minutes to talk about no WMD..The sky is falling!! Those damn Lieberals that own the media like Murdoch..How dare he!

[Carla in Ca]

19. Yeah, whats next...'GE endorses Kerry"?

n/t

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

7. How do you passify someone?

I'm fascinated....or is it fassinated?

[charlyvi]

18. Don't be so fussy....

Or is it fuscy?

[RandomKoolzip]

10. At least they're finally admitting it:

"what is going on with Fox? They're supposed to be conservative (never mind this fair and balanced nonsense). "

[seraph]

11. My Favorite

what is going on with Fox? They're supposed to be conservative (never mind this fair and balanced nonsense). It seems like either they're actually leaning left or are trying so hard to be F&B that they're going out of their way to pander to the left.


HA! Way to go freeptard!

[txindy]

44. Well, hey, if they repeat their talking points often enough, they are

supposed to become the 'truth.' So, FOX is now reaping what it has sown: it is becoming Fair and Balanced. Yeeeaaaahhh. Uh-huh. And I'm Chris Heinz. No, wait! Wrong thread! My bad. :spank: Nothing to see here. Move along... :hi: **whistlingahappytune**

[cheshire]

12. Again they are blaming the wrong people. Your stupid leaders are the blame

[MazeRat7]

13. fox leaning to the left ? In what alternative universe... (n/t)

[oldhat]

14. The Twlight Zone?

[incapsulated]

20. whaaaaa!

:cry:

It's called the truth, and they clearly can't handle it, even from FOX.

[guitar man]

21. hehe

I've said it all along. To people like these retards, the truth is "liberal".

[JimmyJazz]

28. excuse me, I beg to differ - they are not retards

they are affectionately known as fucktards. (which is all the more amusing when you actually use spell check)

see above posts for reference to profanity.

[StupidFOX]

23. Stupid FOX!!

Well, you have to give them some slack for not being ultra-conservative all the time... it's tough to focus on the administration's good points... when there are none.

This just in: Fox news makes more people :puke: than ever!!

[Wickerman]

25. Further proof that they have no regard for what is good for the Country

Here they complain about a liberal bias - never once considering that what Faux briefly reported was only the truth (by all accounts - I get ill watching Faux so don't know they did that first hand).

To them it is all about winning at any cost - Conservatives prevail over Liebrals! Thanks Rush, you drug-addled ass - you and your ilk brought this great divide on us.

[norml]

30. There is great potential for splitting the right-wing repub base...

By giving them an even more "conservative" alternative to the too liberal republican party,and their media shills. I suggest The Constitution Party. They are as "conservative" as you can get,and still be respectable. They are on the ballot in most states. It's like judo,rather than trying to change the direction of an opponent's force,you help them on their way. www.constitutionparty.org

[JimmyJazz]

31. I totally agree - when I was flying under the radar at freeperville

(wink, wink), I noticed that many Republicans actually do feel as though their party has been high jacked by the far rw religious neo-con nut jobs. They long for the days of smaller government, fiscal responsibility and the traditional values of the Republican party. They know they have a big stinker in the WH right now, but can't quite get themselves over to the left. Just one little nudge and I think we could recruit a few - (perhaps we could offer them a toaster oven) :)

[zulchzulu]

32. "They're supposed to be conservative"

Wait, you mean Fair and Balanced(c).

[Hello_Kitty]

65. I know! HA HA HA HA!!

Shh...Better not tell O'Reilly that even freepers are on to their little scam..

[pacalo]

33. Did you notice these remarks...

Those news producers are like sharks, if they smell blood they go after someone. (american *gag* mother)

They have been a lot more Kerry freindly since the debates. (armymarinemom)

Sounds like they actually know Cheney lost the debate last night.

Freindly?

[iwantmycountryback]

34. It will never be passified until we leave

Passified LOL.

[johnnyrocket]

35. Nutty! nutty! nutty! Bush has turned these people into FREAKS!!!

These wingnuts are defending Bush to the grave...hell or high water...with no rhyme nor reason. Mass hysteria, I tell you.

[Julien Sorel]

38. They were always freaks.

Surfers don't make the waves they ride on.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

39. lol @ 'passified'

[Stephanie]

58. Me too! It's telling. They much prefer passive to peaceful.

Of course.

[Renew Deal]

40. They consider the truth

a "left leaning activity."

Interesting

[Beaverhausen]

42. What is/are MSM?

thanks!

and boy they are idiots. What will it take to convince these people that Iraq had NO WMDs????

[JimmyJazz]

45. They have WMD - They hid them in John's pants!

(see above)

I don't know what MSM stands for so I thought I would kick this thread to see if we could get an answer! Mass (something) Media?
:shrug:

on edit: damn

[tblue37]

50. MSM = Mainstream Media. n/t

[JimmyJazz]

51. I was close - I got fooled because Mainstream is one word

shit. :)

[snippy]

53. Are you a Moran? It stands for ManeStreemMediuh. n/t

[JimmyJazz]

56. Why yes, yes I am - thank you for noticing.

It's all that stoned slacking I've been doing lately.

[snippy]

59. You're welcome. Me too. n/t

[RafterMan]

47. MainStream Media

MSM

[Zhade]

43. These people are insane.

You begin to realize even Goebbels would have been too "left-leaning" for them.

They are truly out of touch with reality. They are dangerous.

[michigandem2]

46. that just makes me laugh

how funny..they think CNN is left leaning? and that faux is changing?? gimme a break...
I really do think that because MSNBC was the only cable news network to whore for Cheney after the debate on Tuesday--that it did make FOX look more accurate...
AND they have to report the fucking news...if its bad for Bandar Bush...it doesn't matter..all their competitors are airing this story...what would be their excuse if they didn't air this story? its everywhere? what opposing view is there???

they are CLUELESS...we have listened to the media tout their BULLSHIT for years...its about time we get some truth in their reporting

[Clinton Crusader]

48. TOO funny! Good Lord, next Ailes will be endorsing Kerry!

:kick:

[auburngrad82]

49. ROFLMAO

"In the past couple years, I have noticed a very pronounced leaning toward the left"

That's probably the first time I've ever heard anyone say that Fox leaned to the left.

I love it!

[requiem99]

52. We all know Fox is actually a liberal echo chamber, isn't it obvious?

[JimmyJazz]

57. Good grief there are a lot of new people - I'm going to hit

900 today just saying hello to everyone - :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

54. You're either with us or against us...Fox News=Left leaning. LOL

That will surely be the day. :hi:

[CrowNotAngelGRL]

62. They say Fox is leaning

to the left?! Please. They should watch the movie "Out Foxed." Or would they just deny the movie?

[Mountainman]

66. mailing effort to Roger Ailes ? hey freerepulsives, your irrelevant !

Get over it. Your days in the sun are about over.
