FOX mocking Putin about remarks about "free press"?
What the hell do they think they are? Independent free press? They are just as much a spokesman for this government as Izvestia was for the old Soviet Union. Oh, look at me! I'm a journalist in America and I can say whatever I want....uh-huh..

1. Actually, they are more like Pravda
A Republican Party organ.

That raises an interesting question though. What really is the difference between Fox and Talon?

2. was Putin referring to the Eason Jordan story?
I only half-heard that part, but it seemed like Putin said something about journalists in the U.S. getting fired.

5. i sat there in shock...
when bushbrain went on and on..comparing our "free" press in our "democracy" as being superior...gag! It looked like he believed it...which was the scariest part...or does he just think the world believes it...doesnt he know that they know that our so called free press...is 99% propaganda in support of the present administration and the system of capitalism turning quickly to fascism? It is completely insane.

9. My husband and I were talking last night...
I was telling him how I couldn't believe Shrub says these things with a straight face-we concluded that it's all part of their "game plan". If people hear it enough, why then, it MUST BE TRUE! Apparently, the rest of the world knows what is really going on. The challenge is to inform, educate and SHOW the citizens of THIS COUNTRY the frightening reality of our current situation. You are right. This is diabolically insane!

10. Why do you watch it?
Why bother? Turn it off, watch something else, get your news online! You don't need to watch FOX news.
