Obama Administration FoxNews on the enemies list

Rideron · October-19-09, 05:23 PM

I have no problem with this so long as there are no complaints if the next Republican Administraiton wants to freeze out MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, CBS News and NBC News.

**Sstashmoo** · October-19-09, 06:35 PM

If they are spreading lies and misinformation plus staging protests instead of simply reporting on them they need to be shut down. That isn't suppressing free speech.

Rupert Murdoch and others have turned our politics into a carnival. Manipulated and even controlled our elections.

The people at Fox are surely rubbing one out to the thought of the President mentioning them, imagining skyrocketing ratings. I won't be watching. This is exactly what they wanted. I hope the Government throws a bitch slap on sensational and harmful "news" [[rumor mills)entities.

Rideron, I think you will be waiting more than a few years, before you see another republican administration.

**rb336** · October-20-09, 07:57 AM

exactly,, sstashmoo

the difference is that Fox is not a legitimate news entity, and shame on News Hour for letting ex-fox chick and fax statements about confusing the news and opinion operations go unchallenged. there are sooooooo many things from the news side that support the agitprop department of the republican party that it is laughable to consider themselves as anything but a propaganda arm of the right wing

Stashmoo...bring it back a bit, you have strayed. Opinions are not facts, spreading opinions is not the same as spreading lies. Even if it were, freedom of expression must protect it.

**elganned** · October-20-09, 11:11 AM

The only way to counter a lie is to confront it with the truth.
Suppressing Fox won't stop the liars; they'll just find a different venue. Like the internet.

exactly, Bats. if SStashmoo had MEANT to say "spreading opinions" he would have said so -- Fox doesn't spread opinions, they spread quantifiable, verifiable lies. or is that a new entry in the batspeak dictionary?

Opinion: any verifiable lie uttered to advance a nut-case right-wing fringe agenda

ccbatson · October-21-09, 10:11 AM

Is that your opinion Rb? Is it therefore, by your definition, a lie?

Fox is notorious for spreading lies, see whenever a Republican is caught in a compromising situation and they put a "D" next the their name. Thats a pretty blatant lie, and one they have done on numerous cases, since Republican's have been getting caught with their pants down a lot lately.

**Sstashmoo** · October-22-09, 09:53 AM

Just symptoms of a larger problem.

ccbatson · October-22-09, 11:22 AM

Fox and talk radio are clearly the only entities that have the administration calling out the brown shirts as of this moment. IOW, the administration knows something Rb does not.

**elganned** · October-22-09, 11:25 AM

"brown shirts"? Has somebody been raiding the news studios that we haven't heard about and busting up the transmitters, or something?

Refusing to deal with someone is hardly tatamount to siccing thugs on them.

ccbatson · October-22-09, 11:32 AM

Nicely done Elganned...steps are being taken in that direction as we speak.

**elganned** · October-22-09, 11:38 AM

Of which you and you alone have privvy knowledge, I suppose...Spare me the dire predictions. Your prophesies of doom never seem to pan out.

to quote you from another thread today:

Furthermore, all arbitrary arguments [[like yours in this instance) not supported via compelling arguments and/or evidence are to be dismissed as false.

Lorax · October-22-09, 06:03 PM

At least the NYT dumped Bill Kristol as a columnist.

ccbatson · October-22-09, 11:55 PM

Like Kristol wanted to go down with that ship.

**Pam** · October-23-09, 09:54 AM

"Fox News' War on the White House" from Media Matters:

I think my IQ went down a few points, just from watching that.

He was asked to leave, Batts. No choice in the matter.

NYT going down? LOL!!! No, it's so-called "conservative" ideology doing it's last swirlie down the toilet, thankfully.

Anyone who speaks like Kristolmeth, is apparently on it.

ccbatson · October-23-09, 11:42 PM

All liberal newspapers are in the red and asking for a bailout from Obama...haven't you heard?

Lorax · October-24-09, 10:54 AM

No, guess I haven't heard.

All newspapers are in the red, especially those that expouse the minority opinion, i.e. the 'conservative' opinion.

Not to mention the added assault on them by electronic media, which we are all using right now.
