	<title>Comments on: Six years ago, Fox News successfully argued in court that it had a constitutional right to report lies</title>

	<description>Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."</description>

		<description>For all the christians out there: FOX... F = 6 letter of alphabet, O = 15th letter of alphabet, X = 24th letter of the alphabet. 15 is 1+5 and 24 is 2+4. FOX then is 666. Why did they ever retain FOX as their corporate name? (FOX is from the film studio name)</description>

Exactly!  Dan was kicked out of broadcasting and Fox news should follow him. We see eye to eye on this.</description>

		<description>Does it really surprise any of you on either side that those in power, who have money, are willing to lie and distort the truth in order to influence the thoughts of the weak-minded masses? If you're willing to watch any corporate news source without adding a MOUNTAIN of salt, you are kidding yourselves. Television is the modern "opiate of the people" and you're all getting lost in the details while we are all getting screwed out of our homes, jobs, and any other resources of value by a bunch of bankers. I was sent this link by a friend, and the pettiness of the discussion by several of the posters is really disappointing. I was hoping to read about creative solutions to media lie-mongering, but all I find instead is a series of denials by right-wingers and affirmations by left-wingers. When did "Yes-huh" and "Nah-Uh" become intellectual discourse?</description>

		<description>"The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little."
Mark Twain

If news is not important, then why is it the first thing they manipulate when beginning any war. And why is it that the resistance always goes underground with newspapers during their struggle to regain their country in war. Another thought, why is it that it is so hard to believe that you are being duped, lied to. That is exactly what advertising does. It takes a not so desirable object, and make it sound like the best thing to hit this earth. Do you really think young men would fight in wars if they knew it was for resources and not democracy; no. Instead, they are lied to, and always make the victims sound like they are less than human. This is what we all have to be ashamed of. It is not that we ought to do something about, it is more like "we have to do something, and now".</description>

		<description>There is nothing to really argue here. You can thank each of the past presidents, congress, our judicial, and an enabling public for the poor media we see today. 

The president selects five people to overlook the media regulation, called thew FCC. So if you are med at media telling lies, then look first than your president. Then look at the public for not holding him to his duties; even worse, using his position to undo regulation. The broadcast stations are leased to them for a period of time, yet still owned by us. The FCC ensures that certain rules are kept. The main rule, is that the media will put profits aside so that important information will come to the public in timely, and accurate manner. It is to service the community, and then they may profit. If Obama was honest about changing things for the better. There would have no better move first in office, than to ENFORCE our broadcast lease rules with the run away media.

The judicial, and congress have also gone behind our backs in undoing regulation on business. Media consolidation, now the media can own many outlets. They can even own many different types of media all in the same location. It takes no imagination to realize how this consolidation can be used which puts bias above fact. An agenda by the media owner is almost certain with this kind of power. Furthermore, our judicail, and congress made it where business now has the same rights as people. Now the news can say they have the right to their opinion, and cast this as news. Or they may just say that this is entertainment, and not news. Which is exactly what they have done. It is no wonder why presidents first put all their attention while first in office, to select new judges. Which tells the people what they must do, and in the order top which it is done. We must first hold the president accountable for the press, his judges he picked, and their combined power to unseat congress. Then with an honest media, hold everyone else to the fire to include you and me. After all, none of this would have happened if you and me were not sleeping at the wheel. In vietnam era, there were hundreds of underground newspapers. 

The best thing, is to fix what we already have. Better hurry though, everything is crumbling fast, and the very people we hired to fix stuff, are the very ones who are tearing it apart. Which leaves only one word, "TREASON" . Treasonous in putting the needs of business, and other countries before the good citizens of this country.</description>

		<description>snuss - 

Is that all there is?  KO and Olbermann sniping at each other over the 'antichrist' interview with the bigot Hagee?  I do agree 17% cannot be considered 'most' of the funding for AEI.  One of your links had a headline of KO Lies but referenced any.  By the way, isn't it a little distracting to read these newbusters articles with the continual personal insults interspersed throughout?  I guess it's red meat for people of your point of view.</description>
