Fox News has really dropped all pretense of being non-partisan.

They did that the second Obama won the election. Seriously, as someone who keeps regular tabs on that noise machine, the complete 180 they did within days of his win was simply amazing. Even people I know who defend the channel up and down, people who enforce it as the official lobby channel in their own businesses, were gobsmacked by the complete flip. These days, only shameless partisan ideologues are the ones acting like they haven't noticed.

FOX is a political/media entity with no real counterpart in this country. None, zip, zilch, nada. I usually try to avoid speaking in absolutes, but anyone trying to equate FOX with MSNBC or CNN (or others) simply does not know wtf they are talking about. These are usually the folks who find it convenient to forget that FOX is the only outlet using the trademark slogan "Fair and Balanced."

Sent my sister a copy of OutFoxed back in March. Must have hit home, as the usual talking points she repeats to me from FOX have mysteriously gone missing since then. I inquired about if she had the time to watch it the other day. She suddenly looked very embarrassed, and promptly changed the subject. Hehehe. 🙂

P&N sig worthy if it wasn't so long.

I think one of the greatest mind-blowers for fundies is that jesus was a liberal. They will continue to deny this emphatically since it make their brains hurt. It's fun to witness.

LOL - YUP, Jesus wasn't just a "liberal". He was one of the worlds most extreme leftwing liberal activists ever... Whether you believe the religious aspect or not, you cant deny the fact that he was extremely liberal.

LOL - then they say , "What would Jesus do"? As if it's anything conservative.

What are Christ's liberal views?

He would definately kill children!
After all it is not a child it is a CHOICE!:roll:

I think there was something in there about feeding the poor or some junk.

I dropped all pretense of caring what Fox News has to say. Let them preach to the choir.

Shep Smith is the only person on FN interested in the "news" part. Probably why there's so much animus towards him on the right. Can't he just be a good boy and toe that line?

At this point there are only two types of people who believe Fox is fair and balanced.
One, is the truly ignorant people who can't understand that its all propaganda.
Two, the ones who know its a Republican mouthpiece but won't say so because they want those in the first categories to believe its fair and balanced.

This is all there ever was.

My god, Fox is basically all hate, all the time.

I fully agree, but once again, this is all it ever was.

How can ANYONE have a reasonable political discussion with anyone who believes what they hear on Fox news?

On this however I have to disagree. While a good number of Fox News watchers are total idiots, there are those who would be Republican with or without Fox News. Roughly 1% of that group is actually willing to have an intelligent exchange of political ideas. They probably won't sway from their convictions, but they will have a discussion, and it can be fun. The trick is finding the ones who are capable of turning off their attitude long enough to listen.

You should post more often.
