FOX NEWS Vendetta Against Obama Exposed


ANYTHING BUT FAIR AND BALANCED

FOX NEWS would like everyone to believe that they are the only media outlet whose "news" broadcasts are Fair and Balanced. Rather than submit a written argument to disprove this claim, we find it much more easy to present video evidence to you of a long-standing vendetta that this so-called news station has conducted against President Barack Obama. These attacks are a clear indication of a planned and vicious campaign to discredit him and to tear down his administration.

With "news people" like Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly, it is ludicrous for anyone to claim that this media outlet is a news agency. FOX manufactures and creates news, then reports on it. They are a bad joke on America.

CNN Anchor to FOX NEWS: You Lie!

When Fox News ran a full-page ad in the Washington Post — as well as in two newspapers owned by Fox’s parent company — claiming that it had been the only network to cover the 9.12 tea party rally in Washington, DC, it was more than one CNN anchor was willing to take.

I usually don’t suffer fools gladly,” CNN’s Rick Sanchez began. “Especially when it comes to the fools who perpetuate falsehoods. Well, today thousands of you flipped through the pages of the Washington Post, only to come up a lie so bold and so upsetting that frankly I’m just not going to sit here in silence and allow my craft or my news operation to be unfairly maligned.”

Over a large photo of the rally, the ad asks, “
How Did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN Miss This Story?

Enough is enough,” Sanchez went on, sounding as though he had been taking lessons in righteous indignation from Keith Olbermann. “And yes, I’m talking to you, Fox News. You, who claim to be fair and balanced. At what, I wonder? … They are saying we did not cover this story. They are using a lie to try and divide people into camps. … That’s an offense to myself and my colleagues, who risked their lives in Iran and Afghanistan and around the world to bring the news.”

Sanchez then backed up his charges against Fox with clips of several different CNN reporters covering various aspects of the rally and even played a clip of Fox’s Bill O’Reilly saying smugly, “CNN, as we mentioned, covered the anti-Obama protests, of course.”

Here’s the fact,” Sanchez summed up. “We do cover the news, and we did extensively cover this event. We didn’t promote the event. That’s not what real news organizations are supposed to do. … ‘Cover’ is kind of like a ‘fair and balanced’ way of doing things. You get it? You might want to look into that.”

Tea Party Scam - This Grass Has No Roots

Desperation Grips the Desperate "Republican Base"

As FOX NEWS promotes the "grass roots revolution" also known as "Tea Parties", the omnipresent Rachel Maddow exposes the deception of this "revolutionary" movement. Republicans and other undesirables have long yearned for the excitement of a true grass roots movement, and have jealously watched true grass roots movements develop since the antiwar movement in the 60s. But, unlike the grass we enjoyed during these movements, this modern-day movement is stuck with tea -- bitter tea. I guess FOX NEWS, the "fair and balanced" network doesn't realize that their job is to "report" the news, not attempt to create it. Don't these jackasses realize that Obama is CUTTING TAXES FOR 95% of the AMERICAN PEOPLE?





Here are the facts: as noted by Paul Krugman in Sunday's New York Times, the tea parties are at least in-part "AstroTurf," or a fake grassroots movement, manufactured by "right-wing billionaires."

"In particular, a key role is being played by FreedomWorks, an organization run by Richard Armey, the former House majority leader, and supported by the usual group of right-wing billionaires," he wrote. "And the parties are, of course, being promoted heavily by Fox News."

On the board of directors at FreedomWorks are none other than former Speaker of the House Dick Armey, former Secretary of Transportation James H. Burnley and billionaire Steve Forbes, among others. Now there's a bottom up movement!

"But that’s nothing new, and AstroTurf has worked well for Republicans in the past. The most notable example was the 'spontaneous' riot back in 2000 — actually orchestrated by G.O.P. strategists — that shut down the
presidential vote recount in Florida’s Miami-Dade County," wrote Krugman.

"So what's the implication of the fact that Republicans are refusing to grow up, the fact that they are still behaving the same way they did when history seemed to be on their side? I'd say that it’s good for Democrats, at least in the short run — but it’s bad for the country."

For those who don't believe that FOX NEWS is creating news rather than reporting it, here is the overwhelming evidence:

Fair and Balanced FOX Promoting Doomsday



It's hard to tell what evil Fox "News" is up to now. The so-called "news" network was thrilled to provide daily - make that hourly - support to the first full blown American fascist government -- Bush/Cheney & Company. Now they're devoting regular air time to spinning doomsday scenarios that involve the federal government morphing into a full blown tyranny including the military shooting at US civilians.

"Bubba" is being painted at the source of the potential problem.

Who is "Bubba?"

According to arch slime ball Glen Beck, Bubba is rural man who is:

* self-reliant down to making his own bio fuel
* uses the Internet to educate himself and communicate with other "Bubbas"
* reads, believes in and is willing to defend the Constitution
* owns guns and is prepared to use them if provoked
* is community minded and does not trust the federal government

There is reference to the Obama administration as "tyranny of incompetence"; 
  • "When the Socialists invade what does the military do?";  
  • "People are training for civil unrest all over the country".
It sounds to me like the Republican Party's fall from grace has left Murdoch's FOX Network without a hero and Glenn Beck in dire need of Cymbalta. FOX has become a pathetic excuse for a "news" network.  Get out your crying towels before viewing:

Child Porn at FOX News

From the Daily Left:

Newly Released Docs Reveal Prisoners Tortured to Death; Almost 40% of Americans Want Criminal Probe of Bush; Fox Producer Busted for Child Porn...For the Second Time.

Of course, FOX News, is always fair and balanced. . . as long as the viewers are slightly to the right of Attila the Hun . . . or John Boehner.

This is a 3:44 video. Enjoy:
