   There IS a difference between “free speech” and the propaganda machine Rupert runs, and the damage he does. Hearst was a piker by comparison, even his “yellow journalism” didn’t cause the damage of Rupert’s blood stained brown piles.

   So sad, so true — why can’t the Fox News viewers see that they are being used. Murdoch is a provocateur of the worst kind.

   Rupert’s president of Fox News USA is Roger Ailes, one of the original provocateurs of the “Southern Strategy”…….

   If a menu offers variety and all that is ordered is crap…soon varieties of crap will be the only choice.

   You might disagree with some of their commentators, but it’s a fact that Fox’s news reporting is some of the best in the world. Ask any unbiased reporter. I know they’re hard to find, but they would agree.

   HAHAHAHAHA! You just argued in a circle. If they don’t agree, therefore they are biased.
   No, studies HAVE been done. Whole chunks of FoxNews are in fact news commentators who distort at best, lie at worst. How do we know? Because Roger Ailes told them to! He had plans back in the Nixon administration to create a “pro-administration” TV news channel.

    Remember the axiom “There are none so blind”? See ConservGov.

    Commercial media sell a product (viewers/listeners/readers) to a customer (Viagra/Toyota/Geico/etc.) Fox News has one of the most well-defined, targetable products in media history.
    .
    What other “news” outfit has ever in history attracted such a zealous and unquestioningly devoted product?

    “Look, my viewers are idiots…..” If you wonder how those idiots think, look at conservGovs post above. Also, I assume Ima and Tigger will be chiming in at some point. Perfect illustration of Danzinger’s comic today.

    Best. Toon. EVER!

    I’m not quite sure but I believe it was Rachel Maddow that coined the phrase “Right Wing Entertainment Industry” when describing Fox, Rush and the rest. That really sums it up nicely…

    Americans need to read up on this man who owns 75% of the media in Austrailia, and a large percenatage of it in Britain and the USA as well. He is not a republican, but the agenda he pursues is most closely aligned to Republicans and he uses his “lobbying arm”, Fox news, to encourage conservatives to “hold the line” of divisiveness. He reminds of William Randolph Hearst who, just before the Spanish American War, responded to a telegram from one of his Journalists in Cuba. The reporter said, there is no sign of war here, the reports are wrong. Hearst sent back, “You send me the pictures, I’ll provide the war.”
    Murdoch does not have “American” values and does not cherish our Constitution. Do a bit of reading on the man. He’s dangerous.

    Murdoch hates America and wishes to destroy it. He understands the only way that may be accomplished is by turning American against American. And he is VERY good at doing that.
