Your really projecting. And very defensive.

You don’t know me and you don’t know what I think.

I didn’t call you unpatriotic — I never claimed to have a corner on patriotism. I love the varied opinions in this country they are what make America great! It provides the balance that allows America to continue in its greatness. There may be swings one way but they are countered providing the path we have maintained to this day.

Did you read the NYTimes article I quoted — it attacked Fox and all the news and ridiculed the unwashed term but did state that they had a pro-American outlook, something you questioned.

I provide you with evidence and you imply I am not pro-American, a chickenhawk and fascits. How big of you — hope you feel better tomorrow.

And furthermore, David, how dare you approvingly quote some Fox News pinhead to the effect that opponents of this stupid war are “the great unwashed.” Those opponents include countless military veterans, retired generals and admirals, parents of kids killed or maimed in Iraq and millions of other good, decent, patriotic Americans. Where do you and the rest of your self-righteous ilk get off with resorting to such a disgusting smear?
Where did you ever get the notion that people like you have a corner on patriotism?

I oppose this war, David. And I’m not one of the great unwashed. And I’m every bit as patriotic as you, perhaps more so judging by the garbage you’re peddling here.

You’re not pro-American, David. You’re pro-blind allegiance to the chickenhawks who started this insane war. That, my friend, smacks of fascism.

Fox News Channel, on the other hand, claims to have only one bias–it is definitely pro-American–and it presents all the facts and every viewpoint and leaves the decision up to the viewer.

Guardian UK — ITC Tackles Fox News Bias Claims

The Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel, whose determinedly pro-US stance during the Iraq conflict brought it critical notoriety but commercial success, is being investigated by television regulators in Britain for alleged bias.

Strong Opposition to Media Cross-Ownership Emerges
Public Wants Neutrality and Pro-American Point of View Equally notable is the public’s receptivity to the idea that news organizations embrace a decidedly “pro-American” viewpoint, which coexists with continuing support for neutrality in news coverage. Seven-in-ten Americans see it as a good thing when news organizations take a “strong pro-American point of view.”

The survey finds a greater percentage of the public saying they most often turn to Fox News Channel for national and international news compared with 18 months ago. More than one-in-five Americans (22%) say they get most of their news from Fox News. This is up from the 16% recorded in January 2002 and only somewhat behind the 27% citing CNN in the current survey.

The Fox News audience also is more likely to prefer pro-American coverage of the war on terrorism.

Or you could continue to grip on to a sinking business model — the whole time (irrationally) cursing Fox News for providing middle America with a pro-American outlook on the news.

Just a thought.
