WTF! Are these FOX 'Talking Heads' STUPID Too!

This video is 55 seconds long and illustrates much of what is wrong with FOX. Can you guess why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd7A6b3_R68&feature=player_embedded#

What We Are Up Against

This is what true 'Moderates' and 'Progressives' are up against:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lQhwKu7mT4&feature=player_embedded

(What's not mentioned above is the real problem: the people and entities that FUND ... FOX and those like them. THOSE are the REAL criminals in this fight. Rush, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, etc are just the paid-for stooges ... the 'Front Guys' ... for the real crooks.)

OK, O'Reilly .... SUE! And, Conservatives Have No Voice in the Media

Bill O'Reilly .... "Calls Out" Law & Order's Dick Wolf.
Glenn Beck ... asks for evidence that he and others have incited violence ... and gets it.
Oh, and 'Conservatives' have no voice in the media. (What a laugher!)

Joe Lieberman ..... The Hypocrite

Please note the 180 degree difference in opinion between 1995 and 2009 on the subject of 1 Senator and the filabuster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIFyQgMPJow

After viewing this hypocracy please add your name to the 'Say No to Joe' Petition here:

12/14/09: and this update: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#34423698
Lieberman both tries to OUTLAW the filabuster and,now, LOVES it!

And listen to what he says yesterday about allowing those 55 and above to buy into Medicare and what he said about it 3 months ago... in September of 2009 ... the "Medicare Buy-In":

O'Reilly "I Don't Care About the Constitution"

Bill O'Reilly ... a double "winner" ... including the above .... and Glenn Beck (of all people) speaks with some maturity: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#34004314

Palin-occhio

Not of FOX this time but since she lies so often and, often, for no apparent reason I thought it reasonable to include it here. Listen to what Sarah Palin says now and what she said last year:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#34003950

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#33979022 (Tina Fey ...)

Here is an excerpt from a study to see if biased news had any lasting effects in regard to Europe and the European Union:

“But the "time bomb" of biased news was more effective than the exposure to symbols in manipulating members of the "vastly cynical European public," Bruter said.

"It shows that even the most 'unbelievable' propaganda may have an effect over time and that the most fallacious and baseless rumors, for instance, may shape opinion to an extent"

Here is the article from which the above came: http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/143831 and it contains links to its sources. Facts and foundations for stated opinions.

This is why FOX "News" is so dangerous. The study above was conclusive when people were exposed to only BI-WEEKLY 4-page newsletters ………… imagine how people can be impacted by the 24 hour/7day a week vitriol spouted by FOX.

Here's Something You Probably Don't Know About Limbaugh's Home District!

Wow, if all the "Republican" talk about how to run a country or an economy spouted by Limbaugh (and his crowd) would work anywhere it would be in his own district, wouldn't you think? After all it is a hugely Republican district in a overwhelmingly "Red" state.

But, apparently not, the 8th District of Missouri is 435th - dead last - in female median income. It's the tenth-poorest district in America, and 25 percent of its children live in poverty.

Way to go Rush and the Republicans! The 8th District .... IS ... the reflection of your thoughts and values and there is now a home-grown challenger to the incumbent Republican. His name is
Maj.(ret) Tommy Sowers ... 2 Bronze Stars in Iraq, "led the Army ROTC at Duke, earned a Master's at the London School of Economics and taught at West Point".

And, he is running as a Democrat.

For a better rundown on Maj. Sowers please go to: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-begala/a-warrior-on-a-mission-in_b_353240.html?view=print

And, go to his site at: http://www.sowersforcongress.com/

Why FOX "News" ... Isn't ...

A "News" channel ... and how one can differentiate between real journalists who also share their opinions while still reporting REAL news and "entertainers" who mask their activities under an illusion of 'reporting' "News": http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#33456104

Obama Derangement Syndrome

"Bush Derangement Syndrome" & the "Obama Derangement Syndrome" .... please note the difference in content for criticism.

Chicago Loses the Olympics & the resultant CELEBRATION in some quarters.

Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize & the resultant Outrage
1984 & TuTu, 1935 & Karl Von Osieske, 1978 & Carter, & More ... Not how the Nobel Peace Prize always works. See for yourself:

All CHEERED at America losing the 2016 Olympic bid:

Trying to undermine Obama; at any cost.
Shameful.

Obama and ACORN ... the Smears Continue

I have a gym friend, Ray, who knows that I support President Obama. We often discuss various topics that I'm sure he heard from FOX, Beck, etc.
Here's the problem: Ray is a GOOD guy. He isn't a 'crazy'. BUT he IS moved by what he hears and sees on the programs he watches and seems unwilling or incapable of evaluating the difference between FACTS and Rove-inspired B.S.
Most recently he brought to me his concern about ACORN ... saying things like "I don't like what the (health) insurance companies do" ..... "But" .... and then goes into his apparent belief in what he hears on FOX.
His latest message, passed on from a friend, insists that Obama was ACORN's attorney, that he is sure that ACORN is responsible for "trafficking", etc, etc.
I sent Ray this link, written nearly a YEAR AND A HALF after it was written .... STILL trying to beat down the smears:
http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/20/acornrumor.html .
Ray's latest response was ... to not respond.
I wonder what that means?

Military Coup?? In the United States?

Religious zealotry is incredibly dangerous. It kills people.

What do you suppose the subliminal message is here:

Are you OK with these messages being subsidized with YOUR tax dollars?


(This is on the FOX site because the others are full and because FOX viewers are some of the same viewers that watch "GodTV".)

I Wonder What They Are Saying About This at FOX

Did you know that straight porn turns you GAY?

If OK (R) Tom Coburn's Chief of Staff says it's so that must make it true, right?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#32976588

Oh yes, and this same guy was cited by (R) Virginia Gov. candidate Bob McDonnell twice in his master's thesis. Listen for that too!

(At the end of the program Rachel corrected herself on the school that McDonnell went to.)

FIGHT FOX

Fox News has officially abandoned its already dubious standing as a news organization and is now engaging in outright political activism, completing its transition into the 24/7 media wing of the far-right conservative movement.

If you find this as disturbing as I do you can help by adding your name to "Media Matters":

Taking Pride in Being IGNORANT

Never ones to let facts and reality interfere with their self-created AND FOX-paid paranoia, "folks" like Glenn Beck are freaking out about a speech that hasn't even been made yet. This article by Brian Dockstader ... from a FULL WEEK before President Obama speaks to school children about working hard and staying in school... is well worth reading: http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2009093602/taking-pride-being-ignorant

Unfair ad?

Media Research Center

My friend, Ray, came to me today in serious frustration .... angry at Obama ... we started talking specifically about healthcare and Ray expressed his irritation about all the conflicting stories out there. He didn't know what to believe. (I can't blame him ... 9 of every 10 talk-radio programs is populated by the likes of Limbaugh. It's HARD to find the truth!)

In our conversation I suggested that he try to avoid listening to the "fear talk" and pay more attention to the facts, to documentation; much of which is HARD to find because our media ... rather than being stooges of the "Left" as the Media Research Center insists ... is, with only a few comparatively minor exceptions, tools of major corporations. (And, hence, the "Right". See the posting at http://www.2knownow.blogspot.com/ regarding the word Fascist.)

I will pass on to Ray what I am telling you now: CHECK your facts ... don't believe what you hear (Especially if it comes from ANYthing FOX, even the Wall Street Journal. Do you know why? Because Rupert Murdock owns both.).

If you hear any criticism of supposed "Liberal" "Socialist" "Obama" healthcare reform and an organization called the Media Research Center is the source of that information remember this: MRC was founded by L. Brent Bozell III, Chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee.

Does that little fact have any impact on MRC's objectivity?

If you are not sure, how about this: Media Matters for America (MMA) contends that MRC views the media "through a funhouse mirror that renders everything--even the facts themselves--as manifestations of insidious bias".

(MMA was founded by a former CONSERVATIVE writer, David Brock. Check that out too! Just "Do a Google". You'll find that Mr. Brock wrote a fascinating book called "Blinded by the Right" ... A book title that describes virtually my entire adult life .... 'till now.)

The same dose of skepticism should be added to ANY assertions made by the Lewin Group (See see the posting at http://2KnowNow-Consumer.blogspot.com under that same name.)

Who is 2009's Most Trusted Newscaster in America?

With the passing of Walter Cronkite, TIME magazine did a poll to see which newscaster in America is trusted the most.

Here are the results: http://www.timepolls.com/hppolls/archive/poll_results_417.html

What does it say when the winner of the poll vociferously denounces himself AS a newscaster but, rather, as a comedian?

Run your cursor over each state...you will see that the winner ... even in the states where he wasn't the outright winner ... came in 2nd to the person who did.

Me? My view?

I would vote the same. Wit, insight, honesty in awesome supply ... every day ... OH, and the truth too!

Walter Cronkite

In case you didn't know him or, for others who have forgotten, Walter Cronkite personified what honest journalism was really all about: TELLING THE TRUTH ... without grandstanding or spin.

A reminder; LISTEN to what he believed about our role in Vietnam originally was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDNJL0mTHWI

Faux Noise (aka Fox "News") is 'Today's Worst Person in the Wooorrrrlllld!"

The winner for Worse is bad enough.

As is 'Worser'......... but Keith's riff on Fix News is perfect and puts a lie to the constant noise at Fox:

FOX 'Noise" .... CROPS ...

It might take you a couple viewings to internalize the fact that FOX "News" intentionally distorts and manipulates video footage in order to COMPLETELY CHANGE what happened. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2DJR8IJLo .

As far as I am concerned FOX's cropping in such a manner is fully worthy of having their broadcast license(s) revoked.

America needs the TRUTH. Plain and simple.

FOX "News" CAN Force Its Reporters to LIE!!

Did you know: a Federal Court in Florida ruled that FOX and the media in general have no obligation to tell the truth. The FCC policy about 'Truth in Reporting' was only a guideline and not obligatory! In fact - get this - they can actually require their staff to lie for them, and fire them if they won't!!!

Until today, 3/20/09 I had never heard of this story: Monsanto's rGBH in milk was the subject of these two reporters who were fired ... for not lying about it.
