The Rape and Pillage Agenda

I just cannot understand why any real news organization would defend Fox Noise for two tenths of a second. They are no more a legitimate news organization than The Weekly World News or Mad Magazine and nobody's worried whether or not they get interviews from the White House.

Just Watch This, Fox Noise Fans

Was Congressman Ensign Tipped Off By Fox "News?"

Fox, Coburn knew about affair before Ensign's admission

A week before John Ensign's admission that he'd carried on an affair with a former political aide, her husband wrote a letter to Fox anchor Megyn Kelly detailing the affair and appealing to Kelly and Fox for help...

Again proving they are nothing but a Republican propaganda machine, Fox "News" is the last network to report Senator Ensign's affair despite being the first and only network told about it by the adultress's husband, Doug Hampton, in advance of Ensign's news conference where he admitted to being a worthless SOB. Hampton only wrote to Fox News, and reportedly Ensign held his news conference because, "Mr. Hampton first approached the media. He approached a major television news channel before Tuesday. We learned of this fact before the press conference," Ensign's spokesman said. So Fox Noise tipped off Ensign and then did not report on the affair until everyone else had pitched in. Really reprehensible, but what more can we expect from these lying fuckers?

I think my favorite part of this is how Hampton tells Fox how much he admires them in his letter. And then they shit on him. Typical Republicans.

Fox "News," Your Wadded Panties are Showing

The New Yorker Cover

I thought it was funny. Dissecting a joke always sucks the life out of it but in all the brouhaha I haven't heard anyone with quite my views on this drawing so I'll throw these points at you:

1. It's the cover of The New Yorker for Pete's sake! The cover is for the readers of The New Yorker. It is not meant for the drooling, humorless morons "the media" think make up the vast majority of Americans.

2. Though a lot of Americans may be drooling, humorless morons, I don't think it's a majority by any means. If you pay any attention to politics you are aware that the Fox Noise/Limbaugh/Savage propaganda machine has gone to great lengths to paint Obama as a radical, fundamentalist, jihadist, muslim foreigner and his wife as a radical, black power, black panther, weatherman underground woman. Therefore the kind of people that understand the world around them could see this image as a joke and those that don't see it as a joke probably believe that stuff in the first place.

3. If "the media" hadn't gone frothing mad over this cover the only people that would have seen it would have been the kind of people mentioned in point #1 or the type of people that go into book stores or look at the magazines in the little area of the magazine rack where you would find The New Yorker, not over by the babes on motorcycles section. Most American people don't go into book stores or read at all. One would hope that those that do read could get the sarcastic gesture.

4. "The media" is incapable of balance or perspective and they should all be fired and should go back to journalism school. And we should jail the frothing heads (Limbaugh, Chris Matthews, etc.) that insisted on stressing Obama's middle name every time they said his name and who "accidently" call him "Osasma" at least once per show. Those people are enemies of America and should be stripped of their citizenship and deported to Pakistan.

Bill Moyers for President

Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme. But he by god (or is that bi-god?) should run the FCC for a few years. I love that Fox News had their little toady from Bill (the worthless bag of shit) O'Reilly's show ambush Moyers afterwards. These fuckers have such big blinders on that they didn't realize there would be a crowd of reporters around with cameras. So first, the keynote address:



Now the Fox ambush (two versions):





And finally a little history of O'Reilly's idea of journalism:
