Fox News: Government Mouthpeice

[bigfootedfred]

“Certainly there were commentators and other, pundits at FOX News, that were useful to the White House,” replied McClellan, adding that they were given “talking points.”

talking points like this one?





hmm

[JP226]

[touchmaster]

Yeah right, Olberman is the worst in the business. Talk about Zionist.

[ivan_the_terrible]

Am I the only one who absolutely cannot stand O'Reilly?

Not only is he entirely objectionable as a person, but is also a very rude and narrow-minded host. Its like what, do you just invite people to your show just so you can tell them to "shut up"?

What a douche.

[Oswald von Wolkenstein]

Seriously -- I want arrests over this. I want to see people hang. The Bush abuse of the media was among the greatest crimes of the Bush administration.

I am bet close to 50% of America agrees with me.

Fox Has about 50% of the Market Share but whatthat figure belies is that about 80% percent of their viewers are casual but almost a 100% of people who don't watch them believe FOX News is evil and should be prosecuted in court for treason.

Alright, can some American explain something to me? The Republicans aren't in control of Congress, the Democrats are, so at least some (or all) Democrats had to vote for this to get it through Congress. So why blame Bush? Sure, he signed it, and yes, he has veto power, but why only blame him?

They only see his bad side and his bad decisions get in the way of the good he has done! This is a good example.

Fair and balanced talking points straight from the White house! I'm not sure if this is true but it wouldn't surprise me too much. The Bush administration used the media in the lead up to the Iraq war to try to get public support for it. It was anything but an honest operation in my opinion.

and if they cant do that to shut up."

LOL nice. Reilly is off his boat and tell Americans shut up. Its our right to protest government actions. If he doesnt like it then he can shut up,protest, or move to another country.

No he's saying that we SHOULD support our government, not force you. What is he gonna do come knocking on your door and drag you outside your house and warship bush?

Did you know Scott McCellan retracted that statement?

[Oswald von Wolkenstein]

Did you know Scott McCellan retracted that statement?

That's like retracting a statement about water being wet.

We know this is going on and hope that justice comes to fruition in this matter. These bastards hi-jacked our country -- right or left -- the White House should not dictate the news.

The "gotcha media" -- is supposed to get you. That's their freakin' job -- let them do it.

of course it's true. But don't think every office in the house, senate and every group from acorn to consumerfreedom.com don't send out their own. It's how the game is played.

It's not a game. A just society abides by the demands of justice -- I don't care which side is doing it -- it must stop.

That's, well, dumb, frankly. What is remotely illegal about a press release or a reporter repeating what in it?

Umm, ok.

So you are against freedom of speech? Sweet. I want so much to live in a world in which a few journalists decide everything I hear and keep from information that might be dangerous to their agenda.

[The Dude]

Haha oh come on. This has been obvious since day one. Who needs white house confirmation.

Jon Stewart nails it yet again:

It's deceptive. It may not be illegal -- that's why I said let justice come to bare on it -- if only by making it illegal in the future.


Check this out == every time I respond to one of you post I have to go back and see what I wrote because your response are so out in left field:

You know what? I am just going to let that stand as a monument.
