1. IMO Fox News is the Propaganda Mouthpiece for Hatred and Terrorism in the US.

Fox News constantly stokes the embers of hatred and discontent for profitability. They know hatred sells and is a highly profitable business stream.

6. So many Americans IMO are so lame because of outfits like Fox News. They just don't get

that we are at war, and they fall for all of the trappings of Fox News making Joseph Goebbels quite proud of Fox News accomplishments.

So many people IMO equate war with physical/material destruction really not getting there is mind-bending psychological destruction occurring in this country as the propaganda is layered on over and over again. And, Fox News is quite artful in the employment of PSYOPS.

And, of course, for many Fox News is another religion often congruent with their own godly religion.

and when they do get a job, they expect them to work for free?

so basically they want slavery back.

9. how Fox and other news sorces get away with this is simple
Fri Jul 3, 2015, 12:31 PM

news is entertainment and to a degree educational ,do humans learn from conflict and turmoil or are we just entertained by other's troubles ?
We are thinking concerned animals who think we are not animals for some reason .

Other than that I sure would like to see Murdoch choke in his own vomit .

10. So about Fox and "freedom of speech"
Fri Jul 3, 2015, 12:46 PM

It was Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who proposed the concept that, and I'm paraphrasing, "Freedom of speech does not cover yelling fire in a crowded theater."

In my opinion, not a week goes past where one or another Fox anchor doesn't spout garbage that either comes close to, or actually meets, that criteria set down by Holmes.

but maybe they can point to Michelle Malkin and say, "See we like Asians" .. um no, you don't. She's so right wing, other wise she would be gone too.
