Howard Dean: Fox News Is A ‘Well-Funded, Right-Wing Propaganda Organization

Former Democratic candidate for President Howard Dean unleashed some harsh comments about the Tea Party, Republicans and Fox News, in a recent speech at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania. Warning that “the right wing desire to run things differently is threatening to the country,” Dean (the self-described “professional media hater”) proves here to be willing to hold nothing back.

Dean, the media critic, offered this assessment of the different cable news channels:

“There’s a difference between Fox and MSNBC. They’re both bias. . . . Bias is not the problem, it’s something that makes us mad, but it’s not the problem. It’s when you become a propaganda outlet. What Fox News says is often not true, and they know it’s not true and they say it anyway. It is not a news organization, it is a very expensive, incredibly well-funded, right-wing propaganda organization.”

14. I STILL Wish we could have a President Howard Dean.

I still remember sadly taking the Kerry bumper sticker out of the back window of my car after the 2004 election, and replacing it with my Dean for America bumper sticker and thinking "I was right the first time." I drove that sticker around with me until it was almost accordion-pleated from sun damage.

I love Howard's quote: "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for." Ditto on that, too.

5. Nailed it

15. Amen

And Dean was assassinated by the media. He has every right to hate and distrust them.

9. Bravo Dr. Dean!

Wouldn't it be nice to hear President Obama say the same thing. Not holding my breath.

[slay]

10. I'd say your diagnosis is spot on there Doc

they prey on fear, anger, hate, intolerance, ignorance - they remind me a lot of The Empire.

[Initech]

12. I've been saying this for years!

[upi402]

13. obama went on fox news, Democracy Now!, MSNBC, Thom Hartmann

...and then complained that Bret interrupted him. The Democratic Leadership Council was a group of traitors that tanked Dean - more than once.

oi

[politicasista]

18. Yep. He would have been so much better than Obama

cause Obama is just like Bush. :sarcasm:

That said, Dean should come back as DNC chair though.
