| 4. I watched ten minutes of Fox this morning since no one else is carrying WI |
|
and I could not believe what I saw. Okay, I don't watch them so maybe I'm the last one on the bus, but I saw their reporter ask people questions, then repeat to the anchor what they had said, except it was not what they had said. It was an interpretation with a RW spin, being stated as fact. It was the damnedest thing I've seen, passing this utter "are you going to believe me or your lying eyes" moment, passed off as a news report.
I hope someone sometime has the gumption to sue their asses off.

| 5. Fox news is not legitimate! |
|
McPravda is the mouthpiece of the Corporations that are facades for the deadbeat rich and friends.
I can't stress emphatically enough that one of the most important, peaceful protests we can all participate in is to continue to call attention to the serious, destructive impact the mass media's owners are having on our politics, culture, lives and future.
Pushing back on those infoganda outlets and exposing their bias, purpose and intent is a priority and could help to change the dynamic. To whatever degree we succeed in driving this home, we will pave the way for the serious struggles ahead.

It is perfectly LEGAL to KNOWINGLY LIE on a news broadcast!
News Media - yet another of our failing institutions. All the governmental mechanisms to insure a fair and just society are utterly decayed. We are reverting to a country based on the laws of the jungle.
I thought Humanity was supposed to advance and stuff? You know - enlightenment and all that. Our future is being usurped by ignorant selfish bullies!

| 12. Believe it or not, this is an improvement |
|
for Fox News. For the first time, they admit that grassroots groups that aren't grassroots are deceptive. Even though their example in this case is wrong---the protests were not organized by OFA (but may have been supported by them...which is their right...to encourage people to express their opinion)
But at least THE PRACTICE of a grassroots movement being started and funded by billionaires (read Tea Party) is wrong, and Fox admits it.

The president's website is helping out. But, I believe they are not the main organizers.
