I have Fox news Envy

[keepthemhonest]

I wish when Bush where in office we had our own news station that would have entire shows dedicated to get people out in the streets to oppose the Selection of Bush both times and rally anti-war protestors and well for any of the media to show pictures of us at the rallies.

We did not even make the news and there were some big protests throughoout those 8 miserable years too!Shoot it would have been nice to have them show it once.We have the media talking about these fake protestors round the clock for a couple of months now.

Anyone else have fake news channel envy? Actually I just wish they woul outlaw that kind of thing altogether .News channels should be for delivering news.

1. Don't Tell Me

The media is not liberal! :sarcasm:

[lunatica]

2. No because it's propaganda

Their 'covering' the teabaggers and their 'amazing' turnout is 100% spin. It's propaganda pure and simple. Everything about it is false. astroturf is not grassroots. Lies are not truth. Everything about this demonstration is manufactured from the top down.

What's to envy? The way they use lies to manufacture falsehood for their own agenda?

3. we all know Faux news is manufactured but

the part I envy is where those right wingers have their own channel true or not true to broadcast.We had non of it even when we had the truth on or side.Did you see any of our protests on tv? Nope me neither.That is what I envy.

4. One channel?

They have ALL the channels!

The right wingers and the corporate interests behind them own all the media. Except for a few shows on MSNBC and less than 10% of talk radio, we've got nothing.

5. No shit did you read my post?

I just wish we had one channel to amass our troops.

8. Our ace in the hole

is that the internet is becoming increasingly more important than the broadcast media as a source of news, and they don't have a stranglehold on that (yet).

7. You have it backwards

Fox isn't dancing to the tune of the right winger teabaggers. They aren't out there doing anything they thought of and just happen to be getting good coverage. They're the manufactured puppets dancing on the strings pulled by Fox News. It's like envying the puppet for having a puppetmaster and wishing we had one.

9. No I don't have it backwards... I think you are trying

to try to read to much into that one line and are assuming what I must think.

[lunatica]

10. so explain again why you envy them?

Because it seems to me that you envy the teabaggers having a devoted Fox News licking their asses over every little thing they do. The truth is that's baloney. It's Fox News who tell the teabaggers what to do so they can report it.

11. I would write it again

but I don't think you'll read it again.See you have to get past the title.

[lunatica]

12. Wow. And an insult also.

You obviously think your writing is excellent and that whatever thought is in your head is simply crystal clear and doesn't need to be defined any better. Good for you. At least someone thinks you're perfect.

[keepthemhonest]

13. No I really do not think I am a great writer

at all.Again you are trying to imagine what I must think.I am a math and science person( I always knew I was bad in English) and I really don't feel like arguing with people who think they know what I must think and what I must know from two paragraphs.Now that, is pretty damn cocky I must say.

However, you are the one throwing out insults saying I have it backwards from what you get out of my post.If you really just read the first line, I can see where you would think that,when you actually read everything else after that it is pretty clear.

I just wish we had our own news channel plain and simple.

6. I fully agree. We need a liberal billionaire to build us a media empire to rival Fox. n/t
