Show AllI find it amazing that people pay to watch Fox or any kind of television. Look at me, I'm cable-free!!
Me too, twenty years cable free this November!
Me too, fifty years free of TV in general.
What's amazing is that people can't see the glaringly obvious; Fox isn't stupid at all. It's simply a disinformation/propaganda outlet. Get yourself out of the lib/con box and it's clear. Until then, pray to your television.
Yes, that's exactly how I mean. We're in total agreement.
It's totally cool. I'm just happy to have someone else on the same page (:
Evilly Stupid.
Or, stupidly evil .....

Evil preying on stupid people.
Both.
Foxy News is the worst offender and the best offender depending on your perspective. The rest of the cable news networks politically, brainwash the sheeple with a little more subtlety and covertness, Foxy News is politically, overtly, evil and anything but subtle. It is all corporate news, just like the democrats are a fake opposition party, the other cable networks are fake political, opposition news networks because they are beholden to their corporate masters.
I think the right wing of Islam and the right wing of Christianity work together. They both have the same goals. Both in the oil and construction business. Both control press, courts. Both control government. Both play one against the other. Bush family and bin Laden families are friends. Just saying. Help me out here.
I'll help you out here.
You're right. It's so obvious.
I mean, if some writer of goofy political thrillers had written a novel about the destruction of the twin symbols of world capitalism as staged by a man hiding in a remote cave in a backward nation 7,000 miles away, but whose father just so happened to be the business partner of the U.S. president's father—well, this writer's editor would have thrown that s**t in the fireplace.
So, of course, it's true. It's too preposterous to be fiction.
dinsmore1: agreed.
More than that, though, is the fact that nobody -- Nobody -- on network or cable corporate tv will follow the money To The Top.
They always stop where it best serves their own purposes.
In the example above, Fox "follows the money" only so far. Then, John Stewart and crew follow the money a little farther.
Some people go as far as the Rockefellers in the USA. Others get lost in the groups, such as CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral. Those groups exist, of course, but the follow-the-money trail gets washed out there.
One hundred years ago, one family was reported to have half the wealth of the world in their hands. Now, they have more. They are the Rothschilds, self-described Jews, zionists. They are the true owners behind the fronts of Rupert Murdoch, the top sheiks, and all the others who sow fear, fighting, and self-destruction among us and between countries.
Let's put a stop to it, shall we? Or do we want to die while still under this fully UnAmerican rule?
