White House's Fox News Boycott Attempt Prompts Network Revolt [UPDATED]

White House's Fox News Boycott Attempt Prompts Network Revolt [UPDATED]

“The WH strategy here is brilliant. By forcing the MSM to stick together, they are insulating FoxNews from any possible chance at having to change their ways. As a result, the folks at Fox will continue their shotty excuse for journalism, allowing ever increasing numbers of the public to understand that the MSM so-called news is unreliable. The advertising-based model for news won't wither and die, but it will continue its decline, accellerated by the dead weight. Citizens will seek out their own news sources instead of sitting back and letting themselves be spoonfed. Voila: a more informed citizenry, full of actual facts and actual knowledge, not MSM talking points and superfluousness.”

“Wow, you really crack me up. Free press? Last time I checked, our press was owned by corporations who determined what was 'news' based on what could sell advertising in order to make a profit. Free elections? Anybody who thinks the 2000 elections were 'free' needs to re-read the papers. And since when do American elections express the will of the people in this country? Less than half the country votes! Even in 2008, when record numbers of people turned out to vote, it was still less than half!! And what exactly is your definition of a 'free' people anyway? Are women free to make as much money as men? They don't. Are blacks 'free' to excel as far as whites? They don't. Are the poor 'free' to move up the social ladder? They never will, and it has nothing to do with their being lazy. 50 million people living below the poverty line, if you think it's cause they're all lazy... but far be it for me to burst your bubble of American Exceptionalism.”

“I really don't understand why there's any question about it. Even with the few details we have, it seems VERY clear. He was found dead on 9/12. He has 'Fed' scrawled across his chest. Word about the crime had been covered up, hadn't leaked out until now, nearly two weeks later.

If you leave out the Sept.11 attacks, who have been the perpatrators of domestic terrorism in the US? What group of extreemists was responsible, say, for Oaklahoma City?

These people have guns, they are armed and looking for a revolution. Send them all to Texas and cut em loose, I say.”

“After WWII, the United States prosecuted other nations for waterboarding. It is hypocritical for us to now claim these actions are okay or justified when we do them.”

pondered30 replied on Sep 01, 2009 at 16:07:24

“The waterboarding techniques used by the CIA are tame comapred to the old methods. And Id be against the waterboarding of members of our military anyway. But, once again, I find it hard to garner sympathy for terrorists or even "enemy combatants". Call me crazy. I am antiwar but I am also pro American.”
American Diplomats Advocated

American Diplomats Advocated "Nuremberg Defense"

Commented Sep 01, 2009 at 15:49:46 in Politics

“We shout and we shout and we shout, and still nothing is done. Bush & Co. will never be held accountable. The general public, even when word of these finds reaches their ears--which is rare--says that what we did was "okay" and "justifiable" because it was what was "necessary". The awful truth that no seems willing to acknowledge is that the wealthy/powerful have always been able to do whatever they want without fear of reprisal. Bush's grandfather FUNDED the Nazis. Now we hear US diplomats under Bush advocated the Nazis' trial defense that they were only "doing what they were told to do." The idea of the ends justifies the means remains a persistant mode of thought and as long as the guilty go unpunished, it will remain so. As long as the vocal majority of Americans believe that we can do whatever we like because hey who's going to stop us? nothing will change. *sigh*”

Tulka2 replied on Sep 01, 2009 at 16:02:43

“Kudos for you for reading a history. Few know George Hubert Bush signed onto WWII at such an early age because he was so shamed by the public scandal of his Grandfather secretly and illegally funding Nazis. Yep.

We could talk for hours, i suppose, at how Americans were so carefully separated from our own grand story by [insert name of any television distraction].

Television is just a tool. I suppose it's advertising that makes it an evil tool. It could have been used for so much good. Perhaps the power elite learned their lesson about that when they gave the children Davey Crockett and Zorro and ended up with Woodstock. Never going to let THAT happen again.”

“A brilliant commentary outlining just how far to the right the right has moved. I imagine many Democrats are privately snickering to themselves, knowing that the more insane the Republican party appears to the bulk of the country, the more marginalized it will become. It's tough to see how just a few short years ago, they thought they were creating a permanent majority. And yet, that was only just one of their many fantasies. Maybe we should rename the Mississippi river to d'Nile. . .”
