"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"

.....Does this bother anyone else that a "news" organization is actively promoting protests like this? Isn't this blatantly partisan?

.

Faux is targeting their base audience with this, so of course they're going to promote it. I don't begrudge tehm it at all, in fact it makes me happy.

If the GOP does nothing but target its rabid base, it will become a permanent minority party.

told me that FUX was all about the tea parties. Sure 'nuff, two channels down, there they were. And what will tomorrow vring for them? Where the hell were they when W was spending $70 mil a day on killing people?

:puke:

Around the beginning of the country, you'd have Federalist papers and Democratic-Republican papers, etc. Every paper was "partisan" and you knew which were which.

But of course, this is when there were many, many more choices. Nowadays, how many TV news stations do you really have? For the whole country? CBS, NBC, ABC. Then CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. For all intents and purposes that's it. 6 news outlets.

Oh and the media today tries to pretend to be "objective." I'd have little problem if we had a rich diversity of news stations that were openly partisan, so long as they were open about it and didn't con people into thinking otherwise.

See how that works when you've got through the looking glass?

I have Faux News on my TV in here for the first time ever, and when I stop what I'm doing and listen to them, it's just absurd that these people are even allowed on the airwaves. I mean, the blatant stupidity, misinformation, disinformation, all delivered with a very disturbing undercurrrent of anger (which I don't understand except that they're really bad losers), it's all just appalling.

The people who listen to these geeks are seriously deficient...................

participating in these protests don't see the sick irony in the fact that a huge corporation is openly supporting this.

Let me know when you see it; I have a few nominations I'd like to make. :sarcasm:

they have come out of the closet, we all suspected this. Isn't it great they dont have to pretend to be balanced and non partisan? They can be the Shills they were created to be!

of Iraq?

I've never seen a sorry cluster of fucknuttery in my life.
