The sewer called Fox “news” [View all]

Last edited Fri May 1, 2015, 06:58 PM - Edit history (1)

No one can watch what’s going on 24/7. The injustice and the anger will overload your brain and tear you apart.

However, I tune in from time to time to see what’s happening in the Baltimore shtetl, the country, and the rest of the world.

And occasionally, I tune into Fox “news”, (yes, it’s painful), to see what flavor of shit of the day they’re peddling. In past days, it’s been that Obama is blaming the cops for some “crazy black kid” who threw himself around in the back of a police van. Today, it’s an overzealous prosecutor who is after six “good cops” and tarnishing the police with “unproven” stuff.

There is no end to the shit they will fling at your screen to make you believe that reality is not reality. There is no lie they won’t make up. There is no sense of decency, ever, that anyone displays on Fox “news.”

And this is the tragedy. Perhaps as much as half the people in this country watch the sewer called Fox “news” and believe they’re watching News. The rest of us know that they’re watching propaganda. It’s propaganda that’s preventing their ability to think, or reason. It’s propaganda that’s rotting their minds. And it's propaganda that's well along the path to destroying our country.
