Re: is fox news network anti-american?
Fri, October 23, 2009 - 11:44 PMFox News is anti-democratic, for sure. And that may be anti-American, if a democracy is what you want.
How is Fox News anti-democratic? It presents one side of the story as if it were the truth. Listening to one-sided commentary is bound to have a negative effect on creating a well-informed electorate which a democracy surely needs. Those who choose to listen only to Fox News for their source of information are restricting their own freedom. -

Clearly you are not spending any time at all observing this entity which you feel competent to condemn.
I bet you get all your information form Maddow and Olberman.

Re: is fox news network anti-american?
Sat, October 24, 2009 - 12:01 PMI am okay with Fox news being what it is, well mostly okay. . .my great problem is that the other networks were and are pretty milk toast which was very inappropriate during the Bush administration as it is now or any time.
There should be a marketplace of ideas in the media, and Fox just represents the right and the bozos, so who cares. The fact that every other network is mostly full of shit is not Foxes fault.
and btw I mostly hate what Fox does, so I am not being a cheerleader for them by any means. . .a lot of their people are demented idiots.
So what? I'd like my ideological opponents to ALL be demented idiots, so the more the merrier.

Sun, November 1, 2009 - 4:25 AMoh Cliff, you are so predictable.
No, I don't get all my information from Maddow and Olberman, my information comes from the CBC, BBC and Al Jazeera's English channel. Occasionally I watch Maddow and Olberman but usually only when the have a great rant that someone shares with me and sometimes when I'm traveling in the US, I force myself to watch Fox just so I know what the heck I'm talking 'bout. -

Is responding to Cliff anything resembling Intelligent Political Discussion?
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 9:32 PM[oh Cliff, you are so predictable.]
I would say I do not understand why people still engage this buffoon, but I do so myself on occasion, despite the fact that most of what he posts is so palpably ridiculous that even the average Republican Central Committee chairman, who must be a poltroon and a hypocrite even to seek that post, would never stoop to utter the imbecilic arguments he makes.
Suffice to say that those of us who respond to his inaninities -- let alone actually post a response to one of his stupid baiting threads -- deserve to waste our time completely, because that is precisely and exactly what we are doing.
Cliff, or whatever he happens to be calling himself today, since his identity and profile appear to be totally made up, has nothing of any value to say on any subject I am aware he has ever posted on. And that includes his irriitatingly insipid soup recipes.
In short, he has nothing of value to offer in terms of understanding of any issue, large or small.
He is the acme of what Tribe has to offer to those who are lonely, unwanted and antisocial -- a forum that gives him attention.
Those of us who continue to provide an interactive audience for his pathetic bleetings get exactly what we deserve.

To be *that* jackass stupid on a regular basis is one of the basic rights of our political system and about the only one Americans have always observed no matter what the temptation otherwise. -

Re: is fox news network anti-american?
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 4:43 PMHonestly, there are very few real news organizations left in this world. Fox is the same as the other cable networks; they are more entertainment than real world news. Look at their hot-button content. No one wants to hear the ordinary, so they are ever in search of bloodier headlines.
Fox does nothing that the NY Times and numerous others have done for years. You are naive to believe that they don't all put a spin on their content? How often have you seen a hum-drum article get front page coverage because there was an assault rifle involved? Because there was the potential of a ruling on Roe v Wade, because it had the word Bush in it?
If you fuks had any sense at all, you would not be mired down in trivial debates about Fox, and discussing who still offers real news. Fox is shit, don't waste your time on any 'news' organization with a bias or all you will hear is what you want to hear. You need to hear the news, weathor or not it is pleasant or to your liking. If you want spiel tailored for your demographic then listen to talk radio.
