Fox News Memo Toes Party LinePosted on Nov 15, 2006The Huffington Post has obtained an internal memo from Fox News outlining the network’s strategy following the U.S. midterm election: “And let’s be on the lookout for any statements from the Iraqi insurgents, who must be thrilled at the prospect of a Dem-controlled congress.” Huffington Post:

Actually the truth in any complicated event rarely lies in the middle. Sometimes only one side is true at other times the left is more correct and at other times the right is more correct. The truth is wherever it falls.

Fox’s “fair and balanced” viewers are mushrooms. They like to be kept in the dark and fed sh..

If the terrorists are happy about anything its that Fox News exists. Apparently, Fox News is not only willing to give the terrorists an international pulpit for whatever idiocies they want to say, but has proven to be a source of ongoing revenue since it is willing to pay millions for terrorists acts like the kidnapping of some reporters.
Freedom of speech allows Fox News to be nothing but the unadmitted PR department of the Republican Party. That is sad, but within the bounds of acceptability. And, while it is extremely disappointing that a supposed news source like Fox deliberately lies and distorts news, that is not a crime either.
Dealing with terrorists probably should be though.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful irony if some of Bush’s new unconstitutional spying laws are targeted against the senior management and “reporters” at Fox News before they are repealed? Perhaps Fox News would get a taste of what it is like when that happens and learn the error of their ways.
No, come to think of it, not even those at the Fox Propaganda Network should be subject to the type of nasty and unrestrained dictatorial power that Bush has been illegally exercising. If our freedoms are to last, we have to allow even the liars at Fox to speak. Just stop listening to anything they say and stop buying anything their sponsors are selling.

The americans should be more worried about the effects of FOX’s propaganda news than the terrorist. The terrorist may succeed once in a while, but the lies, distortion and propaganda by FOX are a minute-by-minute affair.

Cable will readily play Fox propoganda but no cable company will pick up Al-Jazeera English Riz Kahn had a great line, American news channels tend to “show the missiles taking off. Al-Jazeera shows them landing.” What’s wrong with getting both sides of the story, the truth always lies somewhere in the middle. I guess Americans are afraid of the the truth, they only want to keep on believing they’re right.

Fox News ought to be the victim of a revolutionary process. There is a desparate need for an anti fascist struggle.

It must be legit - look at the number of typos and grammatical errors. Definitely from a FOXer.
Not only venal and stupid, but illiterate.
