Excuse me while I go hurl
Fox is covering Uncle Dick give a speech in Washington for a republican running for governor, but not the DNC.

1. Well it's your fault for excpecting Faux to behave like an actual news
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 02:26 PM by tom_paine
organization.

It isn't. It is a propaganda infrastsructure like Nazi Media or Soviet Pravda.

Nothing less, nothing more...

It is a mistake to think that Totalitarian Organization such as Faux will EVER behave as the institutions of Free People.

3. After watching "Outfoxed"
I am not the least bit surprised. Stay tuned for his plane landing in Portland in about an hour-and-a-half. That will be LBN, I'm pretty sure.

Ugh.

Bush Must Go!!!

4. Which is worse...

Kinda makes a person conflicted about which is worse, FAUX not paying attention to the convention or FAUX paying attention and spreading their bile.

I personally plan on watching little else but CSPAN and maybe some network coverage from CBS for the next several days.

9. All things equal

Faux probably knows the Dems will be speaking in a more positive tone, no ugly vitriol.

Staunch Democrats will vote for Kerry. Our hatred for all things Chimp sees to it. However, there are tons of undecideds out there who are ready to make a decision.

Hateful bashing (no matter if its justified) isn't the way to do this.

Ergo, Faux will stay away. If the Dems were going to come out all guns blazing then Faux would be there. Like the Wellstone memorial...Faux ate that up and served it up to their mushead viewers.

They won't do that, because the Dems are keeping it classy. I hope an issue oriented campaign with a minimal of personal attacks works, because I fully expect the Republicans to go nuts at their convention.

The freak-show at Democratic conventions is usually outside the arena while the freak-show at Republican concentions is usually inside the arena. Just stand back and let them implode like 1992.

10. Let them implode...

I like the sound of that. :-)

What you say is the reason I'm going to place my focus on CSPAN. Their coverage of the news doesn't generally get me riled up as long as I don't pay too close attention to their callers.

5. Seriously, what did you expect? I'm surprised that people are

surprised (or even annoyed) when they turn on Fox. It is what it is, and it is pretty ruthlessly consistent about it: right wing mouthpiece.

12. It's my dad watching it not me.

I wouldn't be caught dead sitting in front of a TV set with Fox on it. :P
