If we want to cut off funding to the terror mosque we Must Stop Watching Fox News

So, is this the most absolutely stunning lying hypocrisy ever perpetrated by Fox News, or the stupidest, worst, most mind-numbingly idiotic reporting ever done by Fox News? We report, you decide.

When Fox News attacked Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal as the shady, terrorist-loving funder of the ground zero mosque, did they truly not realize that the very same person is the largest owner of News Corp. (the owner of Fox News) after Rupert Murdoch? It boggles the mind how anyone can watch Fox News calling things un-American, screaming about immigrants, or questioning Obama’s nationality, when their owners are from Australia and Saudi Arabia.

    To show that I am fair and balanced and to also show a little irony here is a link to a far left org (Think Progress)running an article praising the far right org (WorldNetDaily)for blasting Fox. Who would have imagined.

    I caught the very end of this piece on The Daily Show yesterday. Is this a not-a-real-news-show scoop? Didn’t notice it anywhere else yesterday.

    I guess the mannequins at FAUX news never played connect the dots as kids, I guess they were too busy coloring the pictures, or eating the crayons.

    Has anyone watched “outfoxed, Murdoch’s war on journalism”? It is on my netflix list. I’m moving it to the top. As I hear it, they are paid to knowlingly lie on Fox. Never watched Fox,don’t have a TV.

    See also http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/11-the-media-can-legally-lie/ where a Fox News channel argued in court that it was not illegal for them to deliberately lie on the air. The court agreed with them!

    I’ve seen it, Ebdoug, and I can honestly say it’s an excellent watch. It’s not so much that Fox employees lie outright, but rather work towards promoting a certain viewpoint through repetition and misinformation. I know that’s obvious to us, but “Outfoxed” shows how truly strategic that process of modern propaganda is.

    I understand Fox’s coverage of news, but why is it that Comedy Central seems to highlight so many items that escape the other networks?
