FOX News says Al Gore full of shit and Bush would never break the law...

[kentuck]

They did not say it in those exact words but in the tone of their report on Brit Hume's show, there was little doubt that was what they were saying. Why does anyone watch that crap, you ask? Because you and I know it is biased, partisan, right-wing crap? But more people watch FOX News than any other cable network. Do they know it's biased crap? No!

And we have a responsibility to call them on it wherever possible. At this time, DU is the only place possible. Should we simply not watch it and continue to let their listeners believe whatever they want without a comment from us? I simply cannot understand that thinking.

1. One hopes that they would publicly bet their broadcasting license

on that. It's only fair.

[Liberal In Texas]

32. FNC does NOT have an FCC license to broadcast. They're a cable operation.

Not that the current FCC board denies license renewals to broadcast outlets in this current administration incarnation.

FOX does own TV stations that do have broadcast licenses but they are, by and large, a bit more responsible than FNC.

2. The tribe money wasn't dirty until Abramoff bribed his pet Repubs with it.

3. I would love to see DU blast their mailboxes--call out Fox et al. but many

on DU just say--shut it off which I think contributes to a chilly climate here.

[Liberal_Andy]

4. FOX News is full of shit,...

I like www.mediamatters.org/ ...they keep a pretty good eye on FOX most of the time.

[Cleita]

5. Somebody should send Rupert Murdock a copy of the

Constitution and highlight all the laws Bush has broken since taking the oath of office to uphold the Constitution. The man should be on trial for treason. Attempting to overthrow the government and replace it with one more to your liking is treason IMHO, even if the Constitutional lawyers don't agree with me.

[Maggie_May]

6. I refuse to watch Fox new

If I could erase that channel from my T.V I would.

[KeepItReal]

7. Do you think those idiots even *watched* Gore's speech?

Screw Faux News.

The less you pay attention to those <insert fav insult here> the better.

[Cooley Hurd]

8. Brit Hume - another yellow journalist soon to be on history's shit list...

Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to growing old - just to read the history books in 2040. They'll all be in it, in a context similar to how history views the Nazi propaganda apparatus.

[FarLeftRage]

9. Figures... it was snit hume's "show"

faux is just being faux... Yes, can try to educate the masses tho

[0007]

10. Fuck FAUX tabloid and it's so-called news.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

31. Your boldest post ever!

:applause:

[Mountainman]

11. Why are right wingers so ready to give up their freedoms?

[LizW]

12. Bush (via FOX mouthpieces): "I am not a crook."

I really need a t-shirt with a photoshop of Nixon's body and Bush's head saying those words.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

13. Fox News Says Thank You For Watching....

They are so glad that you took the time from your "busy" day to watch their unbiased reporting. To those who disagreed with their thoughts and opinions......"Too Fuckin' Bad!" But sincerely, a heartfelt thank you for watching and boosting their ratings and prominence in the media.

Wow! Yet another "I can't believe Fox's coverage" post. I don't mean to insult fellow DUers, but GET A FRICKIN' CLUE!! When are you going to learn? You seem like intelligent people, so if you have absolutely nothing better to do than watch, if you get no other channels on your TV except for Fox, if you are tied up on your chair, and someone forced you to watch Fox for hours....then I sympathize with you. Otherwise, CHANGE THE DAMNED CHANNEL, and quit waiting for something to happen that never will!!

[coldiggs]

15. I think it is good to know how the other side is spinning things though.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

21. You Know How The Other Side Is Spinning Things

Here's a bulletin. They're not spinning it in any way that you're ever going to agree with, and they're likely lying about it. Watching only makes a sane individual want to throw something at the tv set. Either that or change the channel. Thankfully, I have to do neither, since I won't watch in the first place.

I'd rather watch a rerun of Night Court on TV Land, than any garbage on Fox News.

[coldiggs]

25. It is still interesting and they usaly bring a liberal on there to talk to

at least.

[kentuck]

27. Not really...

Unless you're talking about Mara Liason and Juan Williams? But they know how far they can go and keep returning to the show. They are nozzled.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

28. A Liberal What?

Liberal idiot who can't talk? Liberal reject who can't form a coherent response? Liberal stiff who they enjoy berating and taking apart piece by piece?

What liberal are they going to put out there of any quality whatsoever? I know you'll continue watching, waiting, hoping, believing....but please don't post about how you're surprised at how slanted their opinions are, or how they don't give fair representation.

THEY'RE FOX NEWS! Sometimes I think there are people here who would watch a speech by King George and say...."I can't believe he said that" or "I can't believe how dumb he sounds." I tell you what, why don't you come here and say...."I can't believe how intelligent and coherent he sounds," because that would be newsworthy, and something I'd be interested in knowing. NOT THAT FOX NEWS IS BIASED AND UNFAIR TO DEMOCRATS!! Tell me something I don't already know.

[kentuck]

16. And what did you switch to ??

Just curious?

[coldiggs]

14. What would you expect from Fox News?

[kentuck]

19. They are the number one cable news channel....

What do the people who are watching it believe? Is that not important?

[coldiggs]

24. Hey there are alot of conservatives out there. I dont know what we can do

about it. We might as well want to change the Republican platform.

[Renew Deal]

17. They know it's biased.

That's why the watch it. Fox "news" viewers are partisans and those with low education levels. They know exactly what they're getting.

[hiaasenrocks]

18. Fuck FAUX NEWS. n/t

[Jacobin]

20. Fox News...."Better Than Crack!"

[moblsv]

22. al a carte programming

I recently sent Comcast a letter telling them that I will be canceling my cable if I have to pay for fox "news" since I find it morally reprehensible to give money to them. I would like to see an organized effort to get a programming package for Americans who care what causes they support with their programming fees.

[Nutmegger]

34. Good for you for taking a stand

And let me be the first to welcome you to DU. It's good to have you here!:toast:

[Catherine Vincent]

23. Fuck Fox News!

[mandyky]

26. Fox is not news and full of shit

This is just the latest lawbreaking and criminal activity bush got caught at.

[robbedvoter]

29. I'm sure they backed that with facts and research, no?

They wouldn't just ne calling names? :sarcasm:

[robbedvoter]

30. Except of course when he wants to, admits to so, there!

[Disturbed]

33. The following says it perfectly.

[mikelewis]

35. Didn't your momma ever tell you not to look at the devil?

Seriously, don't you know better. Everytime you watch it, it aggravates you because it's worthless lies. Stop torturing your soul.

[Rocknrule]

36. How can Bush break the law?

You forget that he IS the law
:sarcasm:
