To finally be fed up and post a rant about the evils of fox news. I did a couple of weeks ago. But its not that most of us finally see what is happening, (we have and we know), its more when we are finally sick and tired of being sick and tired of the down right out lies.
When I did my rant against fox news some wonderful DUers help talked me down from my stark raving mad soap box. I think it was the story about Obama being the king pen of the sex slave trade, or maybe it was the over kill on benghazi. Anyway it was DUers that reminded me about free speech, not that I forgot its the seeing red in a blind rage sometimes you need to be slapped around a bit to come out of it. Think Nurse Chapel slapping Spock. 
In my rant I didn't want fox news gone, I think I just wanted to sue them for the pain an suffering they are causing me.
I still don't want fox news gone, well if they went bankrupt and had to cease I would shed no tears might even do a happy dance.
But fox news does have the right to exist, just as msnbc. Its just it isn't news. And should not be allowed to say or even pretend to claim to be a news source. This broadcast network should be renamed fox entertainment tv and not allowed to use the slogan fair and balanced.
rush should be taken off the air while courts and legal bodies set fines and these fines are paid. Not to mention sponsors need to stop funding this crap. I say this because right now his show and shows like his, are not conservative programing. It is a hate program and the groups and or people that set standards such as when the f bomb is droped someone gets fined right? There are hate crime laws. This should apply to the whole lot not just rush, beck and that whole hate spewing group. palin should just be fined every time she opens her mouth, or image is shown on tv.
It is a very thin line this free speech thing. But I'd rather have free speech then not have it. We can turn the channel. The only thing that has changed for me, is that in the past I'd say nothing, just nod my head when a ditto head started dribbling the hate talk. I'd wait in the room that forced us to watch fox news or bombarded with hate radio. Those days are over.
I will openly mock viewers of these programs. I will demand the channel be changed. If they don't I will leave but not in silence. They can beat me up I don't care, I'll heal, I got tri-care I'll be ok. Plus I'll sue.
