		<description>&quot;It’s really not news — it’s pushing a point of view,&quot; 

Absolutely!!!!!  And it is astonishing how easy the American people have become &quot;brainwashed&quot; by this corporation.  

I will say more thing to the credit of Fox, there are some good looking women employed there.  CNN does not even run close in this department.</description>

		<description>They hire bloviators instead of actual journalists. There&#039;s a reason that it&#039;s spelled &quot;Faux News&quot;.

		<description>&quot;Mr. Murdoch has a talent for making money, and I understand that their programming is geared toward making money,&quot; he said. ...David Axelrod

Evidently &quot;Obamunists&quot; frown on making money the  old fashioned way; ie., earning it.  Rupert Murdoch for one is an arch conservative and he makes no bones about it. He&#039;s a shrewd businessman and yes parts of his news empire thrive on sensationalistic news presentation. He provides both jobs and income to the U.S. Treasury via taxes, unlike pols and their appointees who are sucking &quot;We the people&quot; dry while producing little, other than hot air and promoting nation-destroying legislation.  

There&#039;s also the possibility that we are witnessing the true colors of the White House in that they even dislike &quot;Freedom of the Press&quot; unless the news media is sucking up to their agenda. They have the hubris to criticize those that do the same concerning their cockamamie schemes and policies.  

If folks don&#039;t like Fox programming then the solution is simple, change channels, but if you enjoy the content and thrive on such a news presentation then do just that, enjoy it and possibly achieve some balance by reading some publications with an alternative political slant so one can attain a distillate of what&#039;s happening in the world.

		<description>Guess the White House really hates it when that pesky First Amendment thing gets in the way. Sorry, but a counter voice is sometimes necessary and it is beginning to look more and more like President WOW (Walk On Water) and his peeps really don&#039;t walk on water.

More and more people will seek out what they read and see as their own comfort food.  Too bad for I&#039;ve always felt that what you choose not to read says as much as what you choose to read.  Maybe they should just run all the Oberman and Matthews tapes all day and feel good about themselves. </description>

		<description>Not to worry                                   about Fox News. I&#039;m sure Mr. Murdoch can take care of himself, and as Doug pointed out in his CNN piece, the ratings only go up.

The thing that&#039;s of concern is the extent to which the White House has become a willing participant – nay, an instigator – of the polarization that seems to be crippling Washington.

The one thing that I thought Obama might actually accomplish was a cooling of extreme partisanship. Disappointed again.

		<description>All I have to say to Faux News and Mr. Murdoch is remember how you treated Ron Paul?

Paul was receiving more contributions than Rudy &quot;The Ghoul&quot; Giuliani and Fred Thompson but was not invited to debate or they would cut to Rudy and McCain and others making faces and laughing while Ron Paul was trying to speak.  It was disgraceful but typical Faux News.

Funniest part (or saddest?), while Rudy and McCain were laughing and denying the US financial disaster looming, turned out Ron Paul was right.  Can&#039;t imagine where we&#039;d be if Fox News had done the right thing and put forward a real debate instead of propaganda.  Who says fake news doesn&#039;t hurt?

Or take the first 30 days of war in Iraq where Fox News claimed some 90 times that weapons of mass destruction had been found.  There are still people that believe there were WMD found in Iraq.  It&#039;s utterly insane!</description>

		<description>Woody, you are exactly correct.  They did the same thing when Ross Perot was trying to explain our economic disasters from an unbalanced budget to the trade deficits growing.  Both Perot and Paul saw the problems and our loss of respect all over the world.  Neither got equal coverage on several of the cable news stations.  I remember the political forums blasting the lack of sex appeal of these southern candidates.  

I used to pick up Fox news after dinner and it was O&#039;Reilly that turned me off.  After I retired I began to turn on the news with my breakfast and found no television news offered anything but repetitious stuff with only a change of commercials.  Now the commercials are repeats.  

I went on line and ran into such terrible news coverage and political information that I got a satellite radio.  I tried all the cable channels and all the political forums and even tried my own web site.  There was no sanity in news or politics.  

&quot;It&#039;s utterly insane!&quot;  right on!!</description>
