1. Yeah, wait until you see those on OUTFOXED.

They follow up those memos with Faux News footage showing how all the sheeple followed their orders during the day. It's really sick! They all look like pathetic little robots doing exactly what their master Moody told them to do. That network needs to be pulled off the airwaves.

2. "That network needs to be pulled off the airwaves."
I agree, but how?

I wanted to sue CNN but nobody would touch it. Freedom of speech, the fact that a lawyer, if the judge decides the lawsuit he's bringing in is "frivolous" can get in trouble, blah blah blah.

How ....???????

3. I don't know.
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 08:22 PM by in_cog_ni_to
At the end of OUTFOXED some of the participants asked that everyone SCREAM about it. Become an activist. The more people scream the sooner the house of cards falls....so they said. I have been emailing networks for over 3 years trying to get some fair coverage. I KNOW I'm not the only person to email the jerks....as we all can see, it's done NO good. I honestly do not know how to influence the way they do business. They don't CARE what we think. How do you fight that? :shrug: I think a HUGE class action law suit by 1000's of activists with some BIG NAME celebrities could work.....don't know. :shrug: It's a big battle, but if Erin Brockovich can beat a corporation....;)

4. Erin Brokovich

Not much difference between groundwater pollution and mind pollution. One is just about as bad as the other. The sort of mind pollution offgassed by Fauxsnooze has led to people supporting an illegal, immoral invasion. Both types of pollution caused deaths... Fauxsnooze pollution has probably helped cause more deaths than Pacific Gas and Electric did. Sometimes I think too much.

5. Write the advertisers
Let them know you're unhappy with their sponsorship of that Crap that passes as a news.
If enough folks did, I'm sure something would change.

6. "temporary death"
I guess Moody doesn't think death is forever. For the wives left without husbands, kids withour Dads, parents without sons, the tragedy is anything but "temporary". What a freakin' S.O.B.


"Moody on the war in Iraq:

As is often the case, the real news is Iraq is being obscured by temporary tragedy. The creation of a defense ministry, which will be run by Iraqis, is a major step forward in the country's redevelopment. Let's look at that, as well as the deaths of a US soldier in a roadside bombing (3/25/04)."
