FAUX News and the Weekly Standard both owned by Murdoch?
On Special Report with Shit Fume tonight he introduced someone doing a story as "from the Weekly Standard our sister publication". WTF??

Is this true and if it is, isn't being associated with that conservative rag an admission of bias and intentionally spreading propaganda under the guise of "news"?

I just can't believe what shit these folks get away with under the * regime. They don't even try to hide it now, as they probably feel "proteted".

Makes my head explode. :nuke:

4. Why doesn't anyone do a story about this?
I just think that is going way to f'n far... it is like the new norm, state-run propaganda media.

I don't want to appear like I just woke up, but people should be outraged and those who have a media outlet (olbermann, op ed writers, even congress people) should sound off about this shit!

Bloggers are good and all, but the majority of 'muricans get their news from MSM and if no one does nothing about this, they're just going to schmooze out in drips and when people finally get wise to 'm, they'll be like "what are you talking about? it's been this way for years and you're now just bringing it up?"

5. Because...
Why doesn't anyone do a story about this?"

Because everybody else is owned by Viacom and GE.
