(111 posts)Just watching the itsy bits I can stand to watch (and I get most of that from Jon Stewart too!) from FOX, it is becoming very clear that: (1) from the scope, the scale, the repetition, the earnestness, the likability scale of the commentators, etc, etc, etc - this is a very professionally-done network; (2) there is some way serious money involved in this pageant; and (3) the overall purpose of the whole shebang is to subvert the country as a whole. It is very very very deliberate, and breathtakingly dangerous to a free republic. While there is always a danger to the restriction of free speech to ANY free people, we should also consider the flip side of the coin - when a pseudo-news network is reaching millions of Americans who believe they are being told the truth, and instead are being systematically brainwashed, where is the line? There must be a line, and right now we do not have one.
Lest anyone be in any doubt as to the inherent worth of true journalism, I believe the object lesson in FOX is stark.
