emmagrant01As if you needed yet another reason to hate Fox News, they've been referring to Mark Foley as a Democrat. It's an intentional move to misinform their conservative viewers, as they do so well. (As seen on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fabu's LJ.)
If you haven't seen the documentary Outfoxed, you should add it to your Netflix list. It will make you hate Fox News even more, but will provide you with an interesting behind-the-scenes view of just how malicious that organization is. And hey, check out this review of it:
"rank propaganda ... the distorted work of an ultra-liberal filmmaker"
-Bill O'Reilly, pathological liar
Bill himself is rather skewered in the film (and by his own words, no less), and that alone is a reason to watch it. ;-)

-kicks....something-
I was just reading a poll about Fox News where 10,000 some people voted and the majority claimed that they were "just right" aka balanced in their views, and CNN was "too liberal." Ay dios...PEOPLE ARE MESSED UP.

Date: 2006-10-06 05:30 pm (UTC)I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck is so horrible about being a homosexual that people will go to such lengths to wash away the "stench" of it. Last time I checked, it was worse to be a child molester than a gay man. I understand the whole stigma that if you "take it up the ass" that means you're no longer a man. But is that all what being a Republican is? A MAN? An old, white man? Frustration!

Date: 2006-10-05 04:36 pm (UTC)[A]ssuming it was an honest mistake…how come when the show was re-aired, the lower third was removed entirely–rather than replaced by one with the correct information? If it was important to identify Foley by party when he was thought to be a Democrat, why isn't it just as important to correctly identify him as a Republican? We suppose that's why Dick Cheney insists on always having his hotel room TV sets tuned to Fox News.

Date: 2006-10-05 05:06 pm (UTC)They had some psychotic woman saying that the girls that died in the Amish shooting the other day deserved to die.
Because they were sinners.
As is she, but she doesn't feel that she should die.
She and her organization goes around to funerals protesting. I saw rainbow, dig it, rainbow signs spouting FAGS SHOULD DIE and shit like that. This was on Hannity and Combs, and it's the first, and probably last, time that I ever agreed with Sean Hannity. If someone is too psycho for him, you know there's a problem.
