Fox News actions were reprehensible this evening

I know a redundant statement.

But their actions tonight crossed the line and are not acceptable.

They had a clear and simple choice, report the news or continue with their constant Obama bashing.

For one evening they had the opportunity to actually report stories on the troops. Instead they continued to be a propaganda channel and noted a drawdown of troops then went back to critical stories like; Obama's body language, the mosque nontroversy, and polls.

Tomorrow I will make a point of bringing that up at the gym as I perform my daily ritual of climbing up on the lockers to change the station.

sedition. No doubt about it in my mind.

6. I'm simply appalled by how you can say this...

If, four years ago, someone started screaming "sedition" about criticizing Bush, you'd all be screaming "NAZI NAZI NAZI".

But now you're saying FOX doesn't have the right to put forth their dumbass ideas?

There is something called "Free Speech" in this nation. And extremists, from Freepers to D.U.ers, need to understand that Free Speech doesn't mean "everyone has the right to say things I agree with". It means the right to say things people do not agree with.

I mean really. And I'm appalled I have to explain this to members of my own party. We're the ones who are supposed to be the good guys.

4. rufus dog, the subject line of your post is appropriate and

timely not only for the day in question but for any day of the calendar year.

FOX is toxic, no question.

And you are exactly right to say so.

I switched over last night to see what they were saying and saw that "focus group". Absolutely maddening.
