What About An Anti-Fox News/News Corp. Rally? Isn't Eight Years Of Propaganda Enough?
Edited on Wed Apr-15-09 05:51 PM by Median Democrat
My take is that Rupert Murdoch is about as responsible for the Bush years, as Karl Rove, since his media empire has essentially acted as a multi-billion dollar propaganda arm for the Neocons. The teabag protests is the latest travesty of false journalism where Fox News actively promoted this event while ignoring much larger protests against the Iraq war.

Indeed, with the election of President Obama, Fox News has become even more extreme with hosts essentially advocating armed resistance. Why not give Fox a taste of its own medicine, and dare them to ignore the rallies.

Of course, News Corp's main headquarters is at:

News Corp. Location
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036 (Map)
Phone: 212-852-7000
Fax: 212-852-7147

3. Well, since they've added Ed to their lineup, MSNBC is kinda turning...
...into one. Over the past 3 weeks, I've heard more shots fired over the Fox News Brow by MSNBC anchors than at any time I can recall.

4. Yeah....but that's just for show.
In reality, the 3 hours of respise we might get from MSNBC is not extreme like what is shown on fox 24/7, day in, day out. Not even one balanced show on the Fox channel; not one.
