Why don't you focus on getting your info from World Net Daily? They will fulfill your fantasy views of the globe and supply you with all sorts of fake quotes and talking points to pollute forums with..


/or, you could take a hint from some of the actual Conservatives on this forum, stop gobbling off on everything Roger Ailes splurges at you, and have an original thought. But I guess that would be too hard...

The Economist is clearly an agenda-driven radical left-wing rag, no better than a libbie blog . . .

Didn't you know that?

Heh...dig it, Slack!

^ Again, you lot view Fox "News" as the opinion shows -- O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity. I can do the same with MSNBC and Maddow, Olbermann, Ed... Get a grip.

WETV in Chiang Mai have just replaced BBC World News (admittedly, a load of shite) and CNN International (just bearable) with Fox.

Luckily, they've kept Al Jazeera.

I'm gonna write to them and ask for Naked News.

my CNN vanished some time ago, and was replaced with SkyNews

WETV seems to be very USocentric now

FoxNews is appalling

You know, I actually took some time to look into this accusation because it is a serious one, and you keep going back to it. I can't find anything that isn't a link back to the sites you originally posted or some unsubstantiated audio clip etc. This "story" seems to be exist entirely in a limited part of the right-wing blogosphere, even Charles Johnson has called them out on it (although I know that he isn't exactly Mr. Popularity with NeoCons nowadays).

This Ken guy was a major player with the organization that promoted 'progressive' education (sex) for teenagers - well-documented. They also supported education re how to "fist" properly. A throughly disgusting individual.

^ So far none of the links or searches I can find back that assertion up. It's not a subject that particularly interests me, but I think you may have been mislead on this talking point/issue.

/and his name is Kevin, not Ken

And that's the problem . . . they substantiate it with one another . . . Knuckledragger A invents something, knuckledragger B the repeats it by sourcing knuckledragger A. Knuckledragger C picks up on it and it is now a solid fact as he can reference it to knuckledragger A AND knuckledragger B . . . etc ad infinitum.

This is how 'reality' is created

Solid links, please . . . shouldn't be difficult to find, really . . . would it?

Ah, well . . . if one can't even get the name right, what hope of the whole thing having any credence?

Asking Booners to actually back up something with credible links/evidence is like trying to empty the Pacific Ocean with a sieve.

The more you ask, the more of nothing you acheive.

Heh...I can post links / references until I'm blue in the face but if y'all still on the Nile Riverboat Cruise (de-nial) you won't acknowledge. I've posted earlier re this devient Ken or Kevin's Bio where it can verifiably shown he was involved in 'educating' kids on proper methods of fisting. It's a pattern here with the Obamamessiah's 'administration' - sexual devients, commies/Marxists and general naer-do-wells...

So can anyone. Difference is, most other people usually manage to post credible and relevant links that actually back up and support the point they're trying to make.

I try reading Boon Mee's posts over and over again for an hour.

Then I switch on the telly and try watching some extremist Christian neo-con nutjob on Fox shouting the same thing at me for an hour.

Conclusion: both give me a terrible headache.

Heh...

Fox leads for trustAmericans do not trust the major tv news operations in the country- except for Fox News.



Our newest survey looking at perceptions of ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News finds Fox as the only one that more people say they trust than distrust. 49% say they trust it to 37% who do not

Just shows how easily led the sheep are

It does seem that a considerable part of the US population are determined to go backwards. At least they will have God to console them in their poverty I suppose.


Now Fox' approach to politics and journalistic integrity are legion, but what is more interesting right now is the politics within Fox/ NewsCorp.


Rotund, bald and ferocious, the Fox television boss Roger Ailes is said to have two speeds – attack and destroy. Every night under his watch, millions of Americans are enthused, engrossed or appalled by a lively diet of angry rightwing rhetoric served up on Fox's rolling news channel. But the heady mix of hectoring, finger-pointing and liberal-bashing may be proving too spicy even for the strong stomachs of his employers, the Murdoch clan.

Rupert Murdoch's family, a close-knit, powerful and discreet dynasty scattered across three continents, prefer to air their dirty washing in private. Rumoured squabbles over inheritance, succession and over Murdoch's choice of wife have generally played out behind closed doors.

But a gaping crack appeared in the edifice of unity this week as Murdoch's son-in-law, Matthew Freud, delivered an astonishingly public broadside against Fox News. Freud, a media-savvy London public relations supremo married to Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, told the New York Times that members of the Murdoch family had become embarrassed by Fox's output: "I am by no means alone within the family or the company in being ashamed and sickened by Roger Ailes's horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corp, its founder and every other global media business aspires to."

Freud is said to be adamant that he was speaking on his own behalf, but he is also unrepentant. His words were calibrated to exert maximum damage and are a stunning blow to one of Murdoch's longest serving and most successful lieutenants. Their impact was all the more powerful because such moments of indiscretion are anathema to Murdoch, as one high-ranking former employee recalls. "When you are in the inner circle, you are expected to keep your mouth shut. The mafia call it omerta – the code of silence."

On the face of it, Freud's remark indicates a rift within the family. But some Murdoch-watchers believe it may be a more subtle signal. When Freud spoke, it was not his voice but Murdoch's that many media observers in the US and Britain heard. The author Michael Wolff, who recently penned a biography of Murdoch, believes Freud's outburst may be part of an orchestrated attempt to undermine a lieutenant who is getting a little too powerful. He points out that none-too-discreet "whispering campaigns" pre-empted the departure of other top executives.

"In many instances, it takes about a year to fire someone at a high level within News Corp. They kind of marginalise you, stop speaking to you and eventually you get the message that it's over."

A former political strategist who worked on the successful campaigns of three Republican presidents, Ailes was hired by Murdoch in 1996 to launch Fox News, in a widely scorned effort to challenge the broadcast establishment.

On the one hand, Roger Ailes has been a money minting machine for the notoriously commercial dirty digger. On the other hand he is an embarassment, is hated by the Murdoch family, and it would appear has got too big for his boots. He could be on his way out, like several before him at Newscorp.

You mean Fox could soon be serving up real news?
