FOX is a right wing outlet

Submitted on May 7th, 2008 by Bull Moose

Democrats should not waste their time with the childish antics of "journalist" from FOX.

You alway's have the so called moderator, allied with the right wing guest, against any Democrat trying to get his views heard through the scream machine.

The truth is

The truth is that the Democratic party does not want to have to answer any tough question from the conservatives in the country.

The reason is that when they have to answer some of the real tough question which define america which is 65% Conservative the Democratic party falls short and their candidates look weak.

Fox news right now is the only news organization which is smart enough to understand that the majority of the country is conservative. Its why Fox news is the most watched even over CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC combined.

Granted that basically no one watches NBC or CBS but the truth is that Fox is where the majority of the nation gets its news.

Even on CNN its top 3 shows, 2 are from conservative broadcasters in Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs. Larry King is the other but Larry is considered liberal or left leaning. I would say Larry is really moderate with left tendencies.

The truth is that America is conservative and the Democratic party is scared to death of having to actually have to explain their radical positions or extreme left liberal ideas to the conservative majority.

And yes there is Conservative Democrats just as there is extreme liberal Republicans like Ron Paul.

Thus the why the more conservative leaning candidate always wins elections.

Is it news or entertainment?

I would not interview with most Fox personnel in that they are not particularly credible. Many are so juvenile as to refuse to call the Democratic Party by its proper name (proper both in its registered name and proper use of english). Secondly, they don't interview -- they push their agenda. If during the course of an interview, you get any idea of the interviewer's political position, they are doing a lousy job -- their job is to bring out the views of the person being interviewed - they are to ask tough questions to make the person being interviewed have to actually reveal themselves, but the interviewer should not "debate". Many of the current hosts want to debate a guest as long as they have the advantage of participating in the debate and being the moderator - you can't do both. Either debate or interview.

The power of a centralized National Party (D & R) is the demise of representative government. Like Lennin orchestrated.

Go back 3 years and listen closely to half truth rhetoric. A half truth is a full lie.

Objectively count the 'half truths' on MSM - main stream media and then again on FOX. There is a lopsided use of half truths. Both do it.

Representitive government existence is dependant on local-village decision making. Not centralized power brokering (media of any sort written and digital) Half truth information is like mixing vinegar and soda todether.

The real question, 'Why does journalizm use half-truths in story telling? Does journalizm think I am too dumb to figure anything out?

The conecpt of 'On FOX' or, 'Off FOX' is a symtom of centralized power.

Fox is just like all others

Fox news is currently the most watched news in america even over CNN.

Fox has the full spectrum and generally is more balanced than all other news.

with that said, FOX is not perfectly balanced. Its most popular news shows are more to the right and more conservative.

Which is showing in my opinion. If Conservative shows which lean more right than left are more popular than those that lean left, what will that tell us in November?

I think that the country is split and that the people can not stand either the democratic party nor the republican party.

Its damn if you do or damn if you don't.

America needs a real candidate for the people, but we do not have one.

Thus people are going to have to choose which evil that they can live with. For Me, Obama's evils are too great to ever get my vote.

I am even considering property outside of America should Obama win the whitehouse. I honestly think that Obama is so horrible for America that it would be better to leave America than to be under his leadership!

Murdoch is not a right

Submitted on May 3rd, 2008 by wishnevsky

Murdoch is not a right winger, he is a businessman. His outlets supported Blair in England that the current liberal government in Australia, for example. He will follow the money, and always suck up to the powers that be. If Hillary wins, Murdoch will "have always been on her side." If Obama wins, same deal. Bill O'Reilly and those other loudmouths should keep their resumes current, just in case.
