Would you still care about Fox "News" if they just took out the "News" part? |
|
In other words if Fox just changed their name to something like "Fox Neocon Propaganda Network" or to something more accurate would you still be bothered by it?
Because that's what bothers me about Fox is that they call themselves news and claim to be "fair and balanced" when all evidence points to the contrary. Feel free to spew your right wing propaganda, distortions and lies but don't claim to be news or "fair and balanced", anyone else feel this way?

1. I don't care either way. |
|
Devotees of Fox will suck up whatever they say, those of us on the other side won't. They're not likely to convert a whole lot of people.
This is no different than Duracell claiming they have the longest-lasting batteries when my CVS store equivalents last just as long. It makes me roll my eyes, but it doesn't make me care enough to loudly complain.

4. I only care that people are brainwashed by it. |
|
and I do mean brainwashed. People that watch it don't watch or trust anything else. that's the problem. It doesn't matter what the name of the poison is if its still being put in their koolaid.

7. There is no "news" on FOX. That's false advertising. |
|
FOX Neocon Propaganda Network works. I call it the FOX Opinion Channel. There is no news.

9. I don't care what they call themselves, they are vile hate-and-ignorance mongers |
|
and it makes me sick that such a waste of resources exists--and worse, that there is an audience for it.
