The FOX Propaganda Network endangers my life -- and yours.

How else can you explain that a White House administration and Republican Party who have squandered hundreds of billions of dollars, countless lives, and a war longer than WW II -- and we haven't even caught Osama bin Laden?

The FOX Propaganda Network isn't set up to help save America from terrorists; it's the "Tokyo Rose" of television networks, set up to save the Republican plutocrats from the wrath of the voters who might otherwise realize the sheer and utter incompetence of Bush, Cheney and the GOP in dealing with terrorism.

Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin and the entire multi-million dollar compensated on-air talents are traitors because their job is to protect the back and flank of the GOP, not to protect America.

And that is what puts my life at risk -- and yours.

Sean Hannity is no patriot. He is an oleaginous, slicked up car salesman chickenhawk who has sold America and us down the river for his paycheck.

One of the characteristics that we are most proud of about America is our ingenuity, our tenaciousness, our resilience.

Yet, the FOX Propaganda Network has spent the last years supporting moribund, stone headed, unwavering failure.

If you think being a chronic loser is patriotic, then FOX is the station for you, because that's what it backs. That's not patriotic; it's contrary to what made America great.

What made America great is competence and ingenuity, not slavish dedication to the architects of defeat.

FOX is a traitor in our midst. Yes, they have their First Amendment rights, and no one is going to deny Sean Hannity his $40,000 plus speaking fees and private jet transportation.

But they should be shunned for the risk they help to create to all our lives by endlessly championing dolts, proven liars, and leaders who turn gold into cow dung.

All FOX proves in its propaganda angle is that a few thousand hearty potential terrorists, at most, have held the world's strongest power at bay for years, while ruining our economy with onerous and ineffectual war expenses, helping to weaken the dollar, drive up the price of oil, and, in turn, helping to cause a world food crisis and more.

It used to be the American way that if you couldn't do the job, you got out of the way or got fired.

But the fat paycheck propagandists at FOX now tell us that mediocrity and failure define the new American patriotism -- that and an American flag lapel pin made in China.

God have mercy on their souls -- and let's hope that we can survive the glorification that FOX gives to losers who imperil our lives.

We need an America that proves itself by getting the job done; not by relying on Roger Ailes GOP propaganda talking points to divert the masses from people who have utterly failed them.

Because Osama Bin Laden wasn't guilty of 911 anyway

Submitted by subhuti on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 11:07pm.
The FBI's own website doesn't indict OBL over 911, yet it is well documented that a CIA agent visited him in the American Hospital in Dubai, in July 2001. So what's the urgency of "smokin' him out"? Bush even said later on that OBL was not important. I guess that's why he's still free, and yet Sami Arian, a professor in Florida, with no terror connections at all, not to mention most of the inmates of Gitmo, etc are innocent, are "more important" which is why they're in prison/concetration camps. Right? So you see, buzzflash, the Global War on terror is a total con job, just as 911 itself was an inside job, masterminded by Dick Cheney, which is all thoroughly documented by investigative reporter, Mike Ruppert, whose offices were trashed, computers destroyed, and who was run out of the country under threat of his life. When will the American Left, as exemplified by Buzzflash, Commondreams, Counterpunch, etc., finally emerge from psychological denial, admit that, yes our government "protectors" are really our abusers, and that Fox is simply playing its assigned role.

Fox News is a straw man

Submitted by Ken duerksen on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 8:43pm.
Fox news hooks a certain number of rubes with its ridiculous political burlesque, but I truly believe that it is just a straw man. Fox's preposterous posturing and over-the-top facsism is most dangerous because it desensitizes us to and provides cover for the far more subtle and pervasive corporatist shilling of the major networks and their false narratives supporting the status quo. As a result, Stephanopolos can talk about "the Homeland" and Russert (RIP) was able to focus exclusively on inane popularity contests, and their shows can still be labled as the standards for "liberal" or "middle of the road" journalism and opinion.

They report, we mock

Submitted by cagey on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 5:55pm.
So if you didn't realize you're already in so much danger with the monkey-in-a-man-suit at the helm, you've been kidding yourself. Any one or group of us could be collateral damage tomorrow and it would be a story for three days and then fade into the memory hole. Fox happens to be the face on the clown puppet that scares and entertains us 24x7. They will live in infamy forever as accomplices to crimes against humanity, and that rhymes with insanity, and that, my friends. describes Hannity! And oh, Fox...we decided...YOU SUCK!

Fox News & The Rest Of MSM Don't Matter

Submitted by crackerjack on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 2:07pm.
"What matters?" "That we see to it that impeachment becomes the make or break issue of this election, and that our next president is someone who'll end the Iraq War, negotiate with Iran plus turning things around here at home." "And just how are we going to pull this off, what with Fox News & the rest of MSM against us?" "On-line."

Fox News and Their Viewers are Dangerous to Your Health

Submitted by Captain Jessie on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 2:03pm.
A high percentage of the mainstream media is nothing more than propagadists for the GOP and throw in 2% actual news to make them seem legitimate. They are a cancer on this once wonderful country and a plague on true journalism. Now, how does Fox endanger my life? Pure and simple ... they cause a lot of stress if you listen to them. From slash and burn Obama emails to local news touting his opposition, this causes many Americans a lot of unecessary stress. Even though my friends in the area know that I am totally against Bush, his policies and the war, they insist upon forwarding emails that encourage the Iraq war. These emails have tones that infer that if you are against the Iraq war, you don't support the troops. And after the democratic campaigns went into full swing the emails became heavier with hatred against Obama and Clinton. Since late Feburary, I learned to read a few lines of these hate emails and delete them quickly. Many of these emails bounce off of the crap Fox news projects and these friends hang on every word they hatefully spin. So where is the endangerment? Stress leads to high blood pressure, heart problems and some medical researchers say stress causes many of our cancers. Now those things are some real endagerment folks.

Make the CCCP RESPONSIBLE for what it says!

Submitted by JosephEBacon on Sun, 06/15/2008 - 11:38am.
Buzz, CCCP (sounds familiar)= Corporate Controlled Conservative Press. For too long their lies have polluted the very foundation of our country. It's time to rein in our corporate masters and put them in the place. They have stolen the airwaves and the media. It's time for us to take back what is rightfully ours! We need Congress to pass a Media Reconstruction and Responsibility Act which: 1) Repeals the 1996 law which promoted consolidation, 2) Reinstates the Fairness Doctrine with teeth, failure to allow both sides to speak and the FCC pulls your license, 3) Forces divestiture, by restricting companies from owning no more that 5 media outlets in the country. Media outlets are defined as newspapers, television stations, radio stations, satellite broadcasting, internet broadcasting, internet sites, software companies, Cable companies, media production studios and companies, telecommunication companies, cable systems and talent agencies. 4) No company can own more that one media property in a market 5) a 25% tax should be imposed on the gross income of all media companies which would finance real public broadcasting which must allow all points of view to be heard 6) Media outlets are responsible for what they broadcast AND can be held liable for lies they allow to be broadcast or printed 7) Sponsors are also held liable for the content of the programs they finance. 8) There should be a three-strikes law for the media, Three lies and you're out. Freedom of speech does NOT include the freedom to lie. We need to take back the media and demand the Congress pass this act!
