I would expect Fox to be laughed at by those outsiders. I mean look how liberal/socialist much of the world is.

China and North Korea do not laugh. They are not informed of the truth either.

Listen. It doesn't matter if the propaganda comes from left or right. A country with misinformed/misled citizens are dangerous. Can we agree on that? Or is misunderstanding good if it pionts in the direction that you are informed to be right?

This is a truism. And until Fox came along most of the populous of the US was misled by left leaning media. At least now we have it Fair and Balanced. Now if we could only teach the left the difference between "News" and "Opinion". They just can't seem to grasp the concept.

Beck Attacks Obama For Not Meeting With BP Head. So Why Is Beck Still Ducking Jim Wallis?
Reported by Ellen - Mon 3:26 PM

In his weekly visit to The O’Reilly Factor Friday (6/11/10), Glenn Beck opined that President Obama’s “kick ass” comment was not just wrong, it was some kind of proof that he’s a Van-Jones-loving commie. Beck also said that Obama’s failure to meet with BP chief Tony Hayward is “akin to racism, except it’s capitalism.” So what should we call Beck’s refusal to debate Rev. Jim Wallis after making far worse comments about him? Anti-Christianity? Bill O’Reilly didn’t go there but he was pretty darned funny as he repeatedly needled Beck over his obsessions with Woodrow Wilson and Jones, among other things. “This is why you’re an interesting guy,” O’Reilly told Beck. “You see things that I don’t see… I’m not saying you’re wrong. There’s a one in 75,000 chance you’re right.”

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

In ten years, you, too, Canada, can be full of mean-spirited fascists who think to be less-aggressively pro-corporate is 'The Left,' and that that'swhat fascism is, ...have a major segment of your population totally disinformed about all the basic information one needs to know to be an informed voting populace, and so politically-illiterate that they don't know what to do about anything but cry wolf in all directions...

Yay.

We value freedom of speech down here in America, but I do think that if they call it 'News' they need to be held to strict standards of truth in advertising.

Dear Canada,

We're sorry, but this is for beating us in hockey.

Hugs,
United States of America

No problem. Let me know when Fox also starts doing this.

True.
It was Glenn Beck that warned you about Obama coming for your fish.
Looks like BP is after them now too.
Did you get your salt back yet?

As a Canadian I am repulsed that Rupert Murdoch is allowed to spew his right winged agenda here. FOX news is has done more damage to America then anything else. It is the scourge and undoing of America. It takes advantage of the simple minded by abusing of free speech for the sole purpose dividing America. There was a time not long ago when America was strong and united, but that has changed. And now my country faces the same threat.

But you're ok with all the left wing propaganda spewing?

Why, do tell, can't we all just get along?

shooz · 06-21-2010, 07:04 AM

Where is this so called left wing propaganda?
Why would the spewing of right wing propaganda be any better?
Keep in mind most of the news you hear are press releases anyway.

You obviously don't know true left wingers, if you think the above list is such.

I'll grant you Keith and Rachel, who nearly manage to counterbalance the crew at Fox.
