Fox News is on a Full Out Assault on the Democratic Party

Basically calling Bush a success in the Economy and Iraq. They called Wesley Clark basically a guy without a clue on Iraq. They made some stupid jokes about Clark. They have some repuke congressmen on right now saying the Democratic Party has lost it.

and they used to say horrible things about Saddam's state run television...

Opps - sorry - thought there was a pattern developing here!

Now where's that latest "Survivor" episode airing?

Was at the forefront of attacking Clionton for getting a blowjob.

None of the Conservative media went after Newt, Hyde, or Barr for cheating on their wives.

The biggest lie the right ever passed off as truth, and kept repeating over and over until it became the BIG LIE, is that there is a liberal media bias. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have nothing but a Right Wing media in this nation, now foursquare supporting the government.

Saddam's media was more fair and balanced.

skills that the Busheviks have that makes them truly and frighteningly Orwellian.

Iraqi, Soviet and Nazi medias were too hamfisted in their presentation.

Orwell foresaw in "1984" that such techniques would have to evolve. The Busheviks and the mighty organizations that make up Goebbels v2.0 have done so in many of the avenues Orwell had predicted.

So I would say that, for the moment, the Party-Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media and the Corporate TV Pravda who dances to it's tune are NOT YET as bad as Saddam's, Hitler's, Stalin's, and Marcos' media.

The truth still squeaks out occasionally here. Admittedly it is ususally not covered other than cursorily and is often drowned out by the blasts of Goebbels v2.0, but that is still more than the aforementioned media of Totalitarians Past.

For the moment...but by 2020 all bets are off.

so many bufoons in this country didn't believe the garbage spewing from their rotten mouths! Murdoch is a weaselly piece of crap! Welcome aboard!:hi:
I'd sure like to smack that smug smirk off Hannity's face!

I'm itching for a fight.

I'll bare-knuckle box Fred Barnes or Brit Hume for charity.

:lol
A 35,000+ blast of email (all copied to the other new stations of course) should get some reaction.

Franken challenged Hannity to a fight and Hannity didn't want to do it.

Franken told Hannity that "well, if democrats are all sissies, do you want to fight so I can prove we're not?"

Hannity declined.

You lost:

Al challenged Rich Lowry to a wrestling match. Rich declined.

When it was Lowry.

that would make Ann Coulter's adam apple look like junior's joint is stuck in her throat.

Every able-bodied progressive needs to be able to physically defend oneself.

With everything that FAUX and the major media have done to hold Clark down, they continue to see him rise more and more. Clark is their worst fear. When the time comes for Clark to take on Bush , let see what the rest of American has to say.

It will be a joy to see Bushy boy trying to stand next to Clark.

BTW, If you think what they are saying now is bad, give it about 3 more months.

...but to DEMOLISH him. Clark could win a number of southern states. Barring some unforseen circumstances, as of now Clark would wipe the floor with Bush.

It's so blatant it's hilarious. They way they keep propping up Dean and his "insurmountable" lead, all the while trotting out these ex-generals on the wingnut payroll to offer disparaging things to say about Clark...when none of the (Schwarzkopff, Franks) even served with the guy.

And his campaign that's "dead in the water" yet keeps rising. Faux is terrified and I love it. Screw you Faux.

just wait till we launch our bombs next year. They haven't seen nothing yet.

when Bush is booted out of office by a Clark/Dean, Dean/Clark ticket? I say they'll go limp.

of letting that happen.

FOX is just Bush's version of Pravda TV.

so The Memo went out.

And, they're running a little scared.

Think of the problems Fox would have slanting the news with an honest White House press office. A press office that didn't use them for propaganda, but jumped on every one of their lies.

(Just where did all those ex- TASS and Pravda people end up?)

...most people who buy into the GOP talking points are not very gifted with cognitive processes, and of course, their childlike beliefs only serve to reinforce that point of view.

You are a dead and buried poster:

DEAL WITH IT!

The only way the republicans can keep their machine rolling is by keeping fuel readily available... it's just that the fuel is misplaced rage, victimization, fear-mongering and false information.

during 911 and the aftermath of 911, you know darn well that FOX would have a headline across the bottom of the screen saying "Bin Laden not caught, DAY 100," and everyday they would add a day to that headline making the Dem President look like an idiot for not being able to catch Bin Laden. Instead they don't have that news headline and have an American flag running across the top left hand corner of the screen. I am sure that flag will come down if Diebold and the Supreme Court allow for a Dem to be president in the future.

according to David Corn's latest article:

"Fox News Channel is considered by many to be pro-Bush, pro-war, and pro-occupation. Yet one of the harsher critics in the media of the Bush administration's postwar actions has been retired Major Bob Bevelacqua, a Fox News military analyst. "Major Bob," as he is called on air, served thirteen years in the Army Special Forces, which included a nation-building stint in Haiti. He also put in three years at the Pentagon. Fox enlisted him as a commentator eight days after 9/11. When not deconstructing developments in Iraq for Fox viewers, he works with William Cowan, another former military officer who is a Fox analyst, in a company trying to provide security assistance to the U.S. occupation authority and private enterprises in Iraq. Bevelacqua, who supported going to war on the grounds that Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant and a threat to stability in the region but not a direct threat to the United States, is clearly unhappy with the whole contracting process under way in Iraq--which certainly colors his opinions, as does his time in the Special Forces. After hearing him challenge the administration's handling of the occupation on the air and in the corridors of the Fox News Washington bureau--I, too, am a Fox News contributor--I asked Bevelacqua to spell out his objections and talk about what he saw in Iraq during a recent month-long visit there."

And thank god for that, lying SOBs

That would be quite a trick - as I don't think they were a force in media at the time.

n/t

Time to unmonopolize and decentralize the news. And a heck of a lot of other businesses as well.

Democrats should stop going on Fox because by doing so it legitimizes a tabloid network.

Wonder why that could be?

But only because I never watch Fox. But hasn't the RNC been attacking Dean, and haven't other Republican groups and Republicans been after him as well? This makes no sense if it's true they want Dean to be the one to run against Bush.

Believe me, they are taking it SO easy on this guy. They're lullling you into a sense of invincibility.

Up is down, black is white, Dean has peaked....

this is going to be both fun - and painful - to watch.

This will be a reinforced message, probably led by Fox News. The message will be the same, it will be consistent: Dems are traitors, Bush is Our Glorious Leader. Oh, there will be some nuances, and they are watching Rush very carefully to see if he breaks down (they relied on him; they may ditch him soon). This is coordinated. This will be consistent, across the board. The mainstream media - motivated by money - will fall in line, unless this shows signs of weakening by, say, April. Until then, one message, one fuehrer.

really fair and balanced?!?

Is that right?

Oh man this is such a revelation to me.

Next thing you know you are going to tell me the Christian Coalition has a political agenda.

This shatters my vision of Faux News completely.

I mean its hardly anything to post about

Fox wont convince anyone to go republican.. Either you are liberal and you know what fox stands for or you are conservatie and knows what fox stands for.. I mean I doubt there's even a reublican left that honestly think fox isn't biased..

just chill hehe..

Simpsons had the best ever fox parody when Krusty was gonna get elected.. it basicly went like this (Krusty was the republican)

Journalist: So What are your ideas for the city governor Krusty?
Dem candidate: Excuse me but the election isn't for aonther 4 weeks, he isn't governor!
Journalist: right "Comrade" eh?

Then they showed the dem candidate in some photoset it was hillarious.. and in the scrolling text beneath they had stuff like "do democrats cause cancer? up next on fox"

The repubs I talk to whether I know them at work, just old friends, relatives, or just some regular poster at www.aceshardware.com where I keep up on computer tech,

they all claim Faux is as advertised "Fair and Balanced" and its CNN and MSNBC, and ABC, etc that are obviously biased to the left. (BELIEVE IT OR NOT)

The moral of the story is that perception is in the eye of the beholder. And maybe also that most people do NOT pay that much attention. the sheeple syndrome.

I don't know what the answer to the problem is the Fairness Doctrine or just getting more Dems active and speaking out, probably both.

the dem candidate was filmed upside down, posing in front of a USSR flag. the news ticker read, like, "Dow Down 5000 points . . . 92% of democrats are gay . . . John Kennedy posthumously joins GOP . . . crude oil makes seals' skin softer, more supple"

that episode was a hoot

I can't believe the audacity at the chicken hawks insulting an American General!

Okay Clark supporters, what's the plan? If you're writing nasty grams to anyone, just let me know and I'll help.

thanks for the help, but I've given up "spamming" Faux with my complaints on "fear and unbalanced". :)
