I’m not sure that this is at all unexpected. I expect so little from Fox news

Thanks for this…useful information?

Telling us Fox was slanting that is like telling someone they’re wet when they’re in the ocean.

There is no doubt that Fox News is the American version of Pravda.

Exactly, Fox manipulates the news to favor the republicans. This report should be no surprise.

Your expectations are low. Telling the truth is easy.

Fox has a tough job for themselves, telling all those lies and managing to keep them straight. It takes a lot of creative talent to put together a news show when you have to fill it with lies. I’m sure they have a crack creative writing team that is ready to fabricate Armageddon in 5 minutes if you give them a chance.

Fox news slanted to favor GOP. Shocking, simply shocking.

[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Tim Edwards, 93.7 WBLK: T-Boogie, Chael Montgomery, United States Agenda and others. United States Agenda said: Leaked e-mail shows that Fox News boss tried to slant news: Fox News' Washington managing editor has been caught… http://bit.ly/dWFcBV [...]

“Bret Baier”……you mean “Br’er Rabbit”. But still, when Br’er FAUX and Br’er Bear caught him, they still threw him back in the briar patch where he lives happily ever after with the other animals.

It’s the goebbels “Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda”, in HD, living color and on your big ass screen.

So they just won’t quote anybody who tells the truth?

From now on, every post I make on any blog is going to start with the words, “God, I hate the Republican leadership.”

FOX PROPAGANDA AS PRACTICED BY RUPERT MURDOCH

“Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people. (…) All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. (…) The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (…) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_propaganda

Today’s deviant breed of morally and socially depraved Republicans are the same kind of people who claimed that they didn’t “know” that Adolph Hitler was an “evil” man or that the “information” that Joseph Goebbels was “crafting” for them was a pack of manipulative “lies”.

From a misguided sense of propriety, Obama feels the need to enable today’s Republican leaders by referring to them as his “colleagues”, but they are every bit as dishonest and corrupt as Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Therefore, I hate them.

Turn off Fox – decontaminate your mind.

Amen. What a shock. I need my smelling salts.
LOL

Fox “Faux” News!!!

Frank Luntz is a sleaze bag. He was instrumental in getting “welfare” renamed “entitlement. It’s like when the United States renamed their “War Dept” to “Dept of Defense” it’s a cute way of making all our military conflicts look like defense rather than offense.

Other spins is “death tax” “anchor babies”. There is a whole list and Frank Luntz has a book filled with spin words. He even has a book of spin words for the Zionists in Israel and a how to fuck over the public debate with con job rhetoric.

Frank Luntz services isn’t about what’s best for this country. He is whore, a slut, he will accept as his clients any john that is looking for ways to screw the public and Fox Fraud News is one of the clients in Frank Luntz’s black book of johns.

Fox “News” is slanted? How could this be? They lie? OMIGOD!

This is nothing new for Faux. Murdoch has admitted that Faux lied in 2001-2002 in order to get Ameticans to support the Iraq war. A recent court decision gives Faux the right to lie without a penalty. Additionally, nothing can be done about it.

“If you call it a ‘public option,’ the American people are split,” Luntz said. “If you call it the ‘government option,’ the public is overwhelmingly against it.”

Exact same policy, of which most people had no idea what it was about, and by simply changing the name of it, all the morons instantly decide it “must be bad! has the word gubmint init!”.

THIS is why this country is doomed. Too many ignorant, arrogant dipshits having opinions on things they know absolutely nothing about.

I Stand corrected

This isn’t news. Fox News editors have been telling their newscasters and opinionites what to say for over a decade. I love how the title of this article says Sammon “tried” to slant news. No. He blatantly ordered that they slant news regarding the health care bill.

Try the documentary Outfoxed. That will give you more insight into who Fox Noise really is.

Anybody who believes Fox News should be institutionalized for their own safety.

After everything else Fox has done…this is kind of a letdown. We’re jaded now…we need more explicitly bizarre behavior from Fox before we even notice anything out of the ordinary. Want to shock and surprise me? Hosts screaming for blood…nah…been done. Applauding incredibly corrupt businessmen/politicians…damn…already been done. Exclusively stumping for one party while railing exclusively against the other…crap…outta luck, seen that too.

Hmmm. Well, theres always hope. Maybe one day they’ll hear that some Democrat claimed the sun rose in the morning and set at night…and promptly devote 24/7 coverage in their quest to prove that Dems always lie and the sun actually rises at night. That might be enough to make me notice them being more ignorant than usual.

Cue remake of “Casablanca,” circa 2010: Louie confronts Rick about gambling at Rick’s Place.

Rick: “Where did you hear about this, Louie?”

Louie: “From WikiLeaks, Rick. I’m shocked…shocked, I tell you.”

Rick: “Guess we better shut them down. They’re dangerous.”

Louie: “I agree, Rick. I’ll let you reopen, but promise me…no gambling.” (wink)

Rick: “This is the start of a beautiful friendship, Louie.”

Fine. Let’s call the military “the government defense program.”
The Iraqi war or whatever it is “the government foreign occupation.”
The Afghanistan war is “the government defense contractor benefits program.”

If it the word fits, use it.

stranger: Louie here is your winngs from the gambling table.

Well if Fox are against it then I’m for it :-)

“Outfoxed” was based on reports from two former Fox employees. They explained that a dictum comes down from the top every morning about how to present news. When we invaded Iraq, the story on Fox wasn’t about the morality of the invasion, or whether WMD existed…it was about how DEMOCRATS were divided on the subject.

When a Republican is caught doing something crooked or immoral, he’s identified on screen as (name) D (for Democrat)-(state). This has happened far too often for it to be an accident. Later Fox says, “Oh, it was a mistake.”

Unfortunately, pointing out to Fox viewers how slanted and dishonest its coverage is does no good. Fox is preaching to a choir of liberal haters…retirees, rednecks, and ex-military types. Whatever confirms their prejudices against “libs” is music to their ears. It’s the new McCarthyism, except “liberal” has replaced “Communist” as the slander du jour.

While useful, pieces like this are not needed to know that Fox deliberately spins the news.
Just watch some.

Most all news outlets and almost all politicians spin – that’s not news. Spin is a big part of the divide and conquer routine. Puts us all back in our correct oppositional positions the oligarchs want us to stay in.

I’m surprised he didn’t want them calling it the “Socialist Option”. That would have killed any hope of a good health care bill right in its tracks. Which, unfortunately, happened anyway due to all the other “Spinners” in media.

Heck. Let me provide a bit more super secret double probation insight. Tomorrow, Fox news will slant their news programming to support the incoming Republican House leadership and to trash President Obama. Mark my words. This will happen.

Except their ratings are through the roof, so that’s an awful lot of nonsensical dolts.

Just call it a very focused welfare program. If you mention billionaires, Fox will be for it.

As an independent, when have you ever voted for anyone but the republicon candidate?

Subject: friendly reminder: let’s not slip back into calling it the “news”

1) Please use the term “most powerful name in news” or, when brevity is no concern, “scaring white people for fun and profit” whenever possible.

2) When it is necessary to use the term “reality-based world” (which is, after all, firmly ensconced in the nation’s lexicon), use the qualifier “so-called,” as in “the so-called reality based world.”

3) Here’s another way to phrase it: “objective reality, which is a big government liberal plot to destroy our God-fearing nation.”

4) When newsmakers and sources use the term “shills for the GOP” in our stories, there’s not a lot we can do about it, since quotes are of course sacrosanct.

5) Whenever we can slip it in, please refer to the “Tea Party” as the “Fox Party.” We need to be fair and balanced, and that is one perfect way to do it.

Because Fox & Friends are my friends and they keep me in the know. They just want to keep my mind free of the atheisthomoliberalbrownpeoplelovingobamanomiccare that the leftistmediaeltistgodhatingfreedombashers try to slip in my water. So they warned me against drinking wet water……I’m so thirsty.

Mr. Canary,

Let me see – since 1980 I have said, “Vote Republican or Democrat – it’s easier than thinking!”I hope that answers your question.

Ummm… This isn’t news. Fox has been pulling this crap since they opened their doors.

Check out “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism” to learn about the daily talking points and word-smithing memos regularly distributed by the senior management at Fox…
http://www.outfoxed.org/

Big. Surprise. Here.

Pox News spins on behalf of plutocrats, privatization, neo-liberalism, the corporations.

Its empty-headed millionaire puppets do exactly as they’re told.

Millions of Americans hear this right-wing mendacious propaganda and believe it to be true.

They hear no or minimal push-back from leading figures on the “other side” and the corporate media stays silent.

Sharp people who do see through the lies and propaganda speak out but they get no play or their voices are silenced or muffled by the corporate din.

Many months later we learn the truth.

This is the history of the US over the last 30 years writ large, in the flesh and blood and tears of far too many.

Well they are the advertising arm of the Republican Party. Frankly, FAUX news has garnered so much power within the republican party that they really can get people elected or on the other side of the spectrum thrown out of office. I mean they would have web addresses on the bottom of the TV screen running for the Republican candidates they were interviewing. Just insanity that they have not been shut down for campaign finance law breaking.

Where’s the news… that Fox is a propaganda arm of the Republic party or that the American public is too lazy or too stupid to make democracy viable?

Meh not suprised

Cute.

oh, oh and Government Restrooms.

Heck might as well relabel Public Charities as Government Charities, since their tax breaks are essentially Government subsidies.

This is just one item of many I’m sure. News is more about creating noise these days, and less about facts.

So you want the same people running the Public wars, the Public occupations, the Public tarp, and the Public defense contractor benefits program running Public health care????!!!???

Until you vote out all of the neocons who wear D and R suits and install more honest liberals like Kuchinich, I am not supporting bigger government.

They have no credibility as being “fair and balanced”.

Does this mean Glenn Beck isn’t Jesus mommy?

Fox has long been know to be the right-wings propaganda outfit…….. This shouldn’t be a big surprise to anyone……. As P.T. Barnum said “There’s a sucker born every minute”…and Faux news certainly has their share of ‘em.

He still didn’t answer your question, hehehe.

Speaks volumes about the staff that this only emerges 14 months later – after the will of the American people has been subverted. That said I don’t believe that Obama cared about the public option or he wouldn’t have been cutting deals with the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

Allowing a “news” media to control the message undermines the power of the Bully Pulpit. Obama could have campaigned on the public option, changed the dialogue, and forced Congress to answer for any reluctance to offer this to the American people.

Same thing for finance reform, etc. The guy has been AWOL – huddling with his “insiders” and the big money boys from Wall Street. He deserves a primary challenge like no one else in recent history.

Well here, let me try. I’ve voted Libertarian and been disappointed, voted for Nader once, that went nowhere. Wanted to vote for Mr. Perot but he withdrew when his family was threatened. If McKinney ran for anything I’d vote for her.

Think I’ll be sitting out again next time, unless we get a huge shift of consciousness among the populace (groan). But I fear, we’ll be on another warpath yet again in two years so the choices will come down to tweedledum or tweedledee once more.

You’re not suggesting people believe what they want to believe rather than what is true. I refuse to believe that!

Besides what’s true? It’s opinion….eerr crash smash.

This is the point I asked an old friend to get the fuck out and never come back.

There are such things as empirical fact. And this dude can’t abide no stupid fuckin monkey standing on his rug.

HEHEHE OK I can abide the ones with the red cup all dancing and shit, but no pooping on the rug.

Yeah but realistically speaking we’re talking numbers in the millions which is pretty fail.

I mean more people watch the amazing race than all news combined. I personally liked the one where everyone had to eat the balls of death things. But that’s off the air.

It’s like the “Landslide” elections where six votes. Republican sweep was like what 11 assholes?

You owe China a a kabillionjillionwhoknowzillion.

It’s bullshit.

I mean what’s the threat, China is going to call in the debt? OK np China, let me just go print you a catzillion of these bullshit “Federal Reserve Notes” you hold my debt in hehehehe.

There’s more to this than meets the eye going on. If you notice, the uber right-wing has denounced everything governmental, and praised everything private. They want the government out of everything, including restricting business, education, transportation and energy, and in favor of putting all of it into the private sector. In other words, the very society Ayn Rand was so endeared to. Completely eliminate the public sector in favor of the private, creating two separate and distinct classes: the haves and the have nots. Individuals would pay for everything, from the air they breath to the education they get to the roads they drive on, to the private sector. No more social security; no more medicare or medicaid; no more safety nets of any kind. Earn, pay up, or die.

What was Public health care? The only government health care is the VA system, where doctors are government employees. Some countries have that, for example Canada. But that was not proposed for the US system. It was always about who runs the medical INSURANCE. Yes, I would go for a Government Health Insurance “option.” The Government is more efficient at bureaucracy than the private sector. It’s the private sector that likes to expand everything to make more profit, and inefficiency is very profitable!

You must be kidding!!!… the end of the world must be very close.

Fox is biased from the top down? Next you will tell me there is no Santa.

I’m shocked, shocked there’s gambling in the casino and GOP slanted ‘news’ at FOXNEWS! Nothing new here.

funny… to the point… I’m guessing they didn’t see that coming. ROGLMAO

Slap some butter on me and call me a biscuit! Fox boss tried to slant ‘news’ programs? NO! I don’t believe that. They wouldn’t do any such thing. I mean, after all, we live in a true demokracy, freedom of the press (they even have a day to celebrate that and all). This here country is all about truthiness and being transparent with the sheeple…errrr…our esteemed citizens.

Y’all can go on believing whatever you want. I’ll continue watched FIXED…errr..FAUX….errr…FOX News cause I know they’re true, Glen Beck and Bill O’Reilley told me so.

This story about Faux slanting the news is news … how? And why should anyone be surprised? All Faux does is spin, spin, spin to please its right-wing corporatist masters.

In general, anyone who is surprised by this is either hopelessly oblivious/disengaged or already brain-damaged beyond hope from watching Fox News already! Still, it’s a useful revelation for the few folks who care about integrity in media and would erroneously still cling to the hopelessly lazy, dull-edged false equivalence “pundits” often draw between Fox and MSNBC. Not only are they extremely careful about factual reportage at MSNBC (with *zero* inclination to just make stuff up and serve it out as factual red meat to masses), but there’s *no* spin-meister/overlord there telling the hosts how to slant their “message” since there is no single, simplistic, lockstep, “Sieg-Hiel” chant going on 24/7 to synchronize their brainwaves and enforce the kind of martial regimentation required at Fox (note their very un-Fox like tendency to speak their minds against the admin when the facts of the day demand it…something never, ever seen at Fox since their message was essentially scripted and approved in realtime by Rove et. al. during whole W deception of the country and subsequent debacle…and now the equally-scripted historical revisionism which is determined to make it all look OK). The effectiveness of Fox would make Goebbels proud of his art.

Hit that nail right on the head. Every time there is a scandal, it always originates in the private sector…. trying to rip off the “we the people”? I use to work for GE and “we” got caught overcharging for jet engines among other thinks… but those were “honest” mistakes…… ya right.

Fox news is the more outrageous form of propaganda to hit the airwaves in years, and they can give Rush Limbaugh a run for his money, in the vile spewed out in a toxic dump poisoning the American psyche. But don’t let this blatant form of propaganda fool you into thinking that the so called Liberal mainstream media fares any better. The Bush Administration got a 8 year honeymoon, as large corporate owners of the news media essentially gagged the press into giving Bush a free ride. They may seem more subtle, yet, the true tragedy for democracy has been the transformation of the News Business into “Show Business.” Now, we have news anchors strutting their stuff as celebrities hobnobbing with the rich and powerful. Members of the same country clubs, and exclusive societies, they are practically “bed mates.” The news today on all mainstream television networks, has been shortened into soundbites, polished, edited, and slanted in a pro-corporate ideology. It is a sad state of affairs, but Wikileaks is the only source of truth to emerge of late; once the duty of the journalist to discover but now a confirmed failure for the past few years.

Their rantings are not through the roof. Even Spongebob Squarepants gets more viewers than the highest rated Fox show, as does PBS. Fox may be high for cable, but even Katie Couric and the lowest rated news show on the public airwaves gets 2X as many viewers as the best Fox show. And Rush Limbaugh plays with numbers (as does Dr. Laura, O’reilly, etc.). Limbaugh will say he has 10 million listeners. But, that’s cumulative, he’s adding every day’s listeners even though they’re usually the same. And a lot of Fox is a captive audience (i.e. military radio and television). I was at the DMV renewing my license and the television in the waiting area had Fox on it. I asked that it be changed and was told by the manager that he liked Fox, so everyone listened to Fox. He didn’t want liberal crap being played at the DMV. This was a government employee in a government building. I contacted my state rep. Next time I was at the DMV the television was playing game shows.

Fox has the highest ratings, but it’s a narrow plurality, not a majority. Their viewership is loyal, not because Fox presents news objectively or offers insight, but because it doesn’t. If it did, the stereotypical Fox viewer (retired military or retired from a military contractor, pro-gun, anti-gay) would tune out. Fox is simply feeding red meat to a bull…and bulls aren’t all that smart.

When I feel bad about myself, I use Fox Snooze as a tool to make myself feel better. I watch to remind myself that there is a whole network of people worse off than me. I get comic relief from the Fox and Friends ninnies. I giggle out loud at Sean In-Sannity and Bellow O’Really. I imagine Roger Ailes trying to stuff his gigantic, fat ass into a taxi and burst out in spastic laughter. Yeah, Fox Snooze is the real comedy channel.

I sometimes wonder what the Fox crowd does after the cameras are turned off. Do they get together over a Bud Lite and pat each other on the back for pissing off those hated liberals? Do they laugh about all the old farts who watch them faithfully and believe their crapola? Or is it possible they believe their own bullshit?

I’d love to be a fly on the wall some night outside Fox’ studio.

Holy crap!!! This is some kind of bulletin? Give us a break. Fix always slants all they present as news. This is not a news organization. This is an opinion network. With no journalism involved, and the only ones not knowing the difference are the brain dead viewers.

This little puff of smoke story is the least of what this network has to answer for. We all know about who and what they are, and their viewers will not care.

I am shocked! Here I thought FAUX was fair and balanced…not. I would personally like to stomp a mud hole in the arse of Frank Luntz.

You are known by your words and actions. If you spread propaganda, and repeat lies and misinformation for a martial, militaristic party and policy, you have defined yourself.

You are worse than Nazis. You masquerade under the banner of free speech and dishonor all those who fought to get it and preserve it.

Honestly, I have been told by a bible thumper that empirical evidence is usually wrong. True story!

me too, I told him to prove it. He froze and looked at me quizzically, you know like a puppy.

Murdoch GOP’s political operation & propaganda empourium. How can a guy who only want too be an American to further his empire.be so powerful. He doen’t even stand on American principles of fair play or justice..FOX news fair & balanced my ass.

Another Cable soon to be released will show that smoking is considered harmful…

Faux News: the GOP’s own News Death Panel, where truth, facts and our democracy go to be bludgeoned to death by Talking Points-spouting Republicans, otherwise known as fascist propagandists. Every night on Faux News is Kristalnacht.

…for their own safety… and ours.

Why pick on just Foxjews–all the Kosher Media do the same.
Glaring fact: Government Whores.
Did you know that the parent company of Fucksnews–majority of the shares are owned by the Saudi Royal family {:^/

Har !!!

this is almost as surprising as when, each morning, it gets light out again.

Never have liked “Big Stretch,” and now I know why.

Love it….now other sites like MediaMatters are becoming more Wikileaks-like. Give us the real juicy stuff though….would love to see a major document dump exposing the “kosher” media network as the fifth column

I am surprised that some well educated communications lawyer has not found a way to challenge Fox Television Stations Inc. fitness to hold licenses for the Fox OWNED and operated television stations in:

New York City, Secaucus, New Jersey, Los Angeles (2), Chicago, Gary, Indiana, Philadelphia, Dallas – Fort Worth (2), Boston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. (2), Houston, Detroit, Phoenix (2), Tampa – St. Petersburg, Minneapolis – St. Paul (2), Orlando – Daytona Beach (2), Baltimore, Austin, Texas, Memphis, and Ocala – Gainesville, FL.

With all of their issues and blatant misrepresentation of news I’m certain their fitness to hold these valuable licenses in the public trust could be contested. Hurt them where it counts. In their bank account. 27 Television stations are worth a chunk of money.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you. Fox distorting the news for political motives? Surely this is some left wing misinformation campaign. We must get to the bottom of it. Round up the usual suspects.

Fox is a corporatist political propaganda machine and should be treated as such. No press pass until they grow up and stop living in a make believe reality. The audacity is rather spectacular.

Come on, is this really news? I mean, even though we didn’t really “know” for certain…come on, we know.

Who believes in this happy horse shit fairy tale of “editorial independence”? If you do, repeatedly slap yourself until you are unconscious, then stay that way indefinitely.

Sammon follows Bush around saying;”George can I pet the rabbits? Can I George? Huh, can I “?

No surprise here!

It has been tried already over a Monsanto story. The judge ruled that FOX has NO obligation to divulge the truth or to be fair.

Everyone involved in Fox “News” is a propagandist and there is no news offered. Nevertheless to Fox viewers truth is utterly irrelevant. They love the Howard Beal show 24/7. All lies all the time.

Don’t anyone forget the FL SCOTUS decision that effectively stated that Fox News does NOT have to tell the truth. By law they can lie:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3441805108254483121#

And USA is supposed to be THE country for good example!

And do you know that the Saudi Royal Family are Jews! Trace their history.

As sly as a fox. No doubt.

That case you referenced was about the NETWORK reporting. I am talking about the local Fox owned and operated television stations. I am certain there are many instances where the public trust has been violated on a local level. The network as a content provider is held (or not) to a different standard than the locally owned and operated outlet..

Local television stations and the local (or not) news they broadcast are a completely different issue. There is a way to stop this gross manipulation and misrepresentation of the issues without infringing on Fox News right to free speech.
Think “Death by a thousand paper cuts”. If enough challenges are presented the Fox legal department would be kept busy protecting the mega-phone. The FCC even in it’s weakened form still has a lot of weight at license renewal. They still take seriously “Public Service Responsibility of Licensees:.

Although this is no longer ‘news’ – it qualifies as ‘olds’ – it is essential that we have a full arsenal of documentation of faux’ malfeasance and misprision of facts.

Thanks for the good work!

It’s time Fox News admitted to what it is a Republican Pac.

Here is the very first line from the Wikipedia entry about the “Public Option”:

“The public health insurance option is a proposed government-run health insurance agency which competes with other health insurance companies”.

Please tell me, then, where Sammon is wrong about this. You can’t. He’s correct. All of this nonsense over a non-story like this. Look, if people in this country find the term “government-run” objectionable, it’s probably for good reason. Trying to blame the messenger is a cop out, and everyone here –if they were intellectually honest (yeah, good luck) knows it.

FOX spinning news?!

Who would that be news to, save perhaps a Tibetan monk who has been in deep meditation for a decade or so?

Just because you happened to find a different definition from the one in the
published language of the act, doesn’t superceed the act, unless a court
[yes eventually the Supreme Court] replaces the language in the act with
language from another source.

Essayons,

Yeah, nice try. Unless you’re going to try and now say that Wikipedia is somehow complicit with Fox News in this, that’s just absurd. I gave you a concrete reference to how this is described…to the world, no less. If you think Wikipedia is in error, I suggest you correct the record. Give it your best shot. But until such time, I’ve patently shot down all the ridiculous and untrue chatter about this. I know that pisses off people who want to try and criticize Fox News simply because these people have a political axe to grind, but “dems da breaks”, as they say. I just care about what’s true with this issue, and I’ve demonstrated that this so-called story is bunk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health_insurance_option

Question for all of those so willing to jump on this absurd anti-Fox News rant on the “Public Option”. Do you honestly think the term “Public Option” wasn’t methodically chosen (i.e. run by pollsters and focus groups) by those who advocated it because they felt those words would appeal to the masses? Come on…get real. This is so hypocritical. Grow up, lefties. At some point, you’re going to have to come to grips that you’re out of the mainstream.

Fools believe FOX news is the mainstream, and lefties will remain out of that sewer.

Why do the Rightwing conservatives hate the “we the people” part of our government so much? In a democracy, “government run” is by the people, though the Republicans have worked tirelessly to undo that.

1. I don’t waste time criticizing faux spews.
2. Until you practice law in the U.S. don’t deign to instruct anyone about
which definition is used. Unless and until adjudicated as unconstitutional,
any definition within a law pertains to and is used within the context of
that law.
3. Your patience will be rewarded, only if you are accurate or correct.
4. Definitions withinb the law count.
5. Sammons is a shizbott. If he had shit for brains, he would be a silent
and odorless fart upon discharge!

Get outta here! Fox is too honest to slant the news. Ain’t they supposed to be fair and balanced over there? That’s what I heard.

They are as they purport themselves to be: fair to reactionaries and
balanced with distasteful lies.
