America Has No Voice At FOX: Refuse To Air Bachmann's Speech Tonight (CNN will)
Jan 25, 2011 | ERE

Posted on 01/25/2011 11:16:57 AM PST by USSR Didnt Fall

We have to be honest folks, Fox news has been drifting further and further left over the past several years.

The natural instinct of most conservatives is to defend the channel that the far left attacks on a daily basis.

A similar occurrence came during the eight years of the Bush administration, where the left was viscous, conservatives defended as we witnessed a president advance a very liberal agenda.

My point is that the formula that who the left hates and goes after is not necessarily who they oppose (As in Palin) but a tactic to redefine what right wing news is, leaving a conservatives isolated, as out of the mainstream while in reality making up the majority.

Now at FOX we have people who claim the center and hear both sides of the issues in a sort of consensus building liberal manner.

There is no right or left in the truth, so a motto like" fair and balanced "seems more along the lines of the Hegelian dialectic (Marx) than a show determined to get down to the facts.

We are told to praise someone like Juan Williams, who has stated many times that the Tea Party is racist and that conservatives are extreme.

If you don't think the NPR comments were a set up to have conservatives embrace him at FOX then I think you need to open your eyes.

Beck is probably the only palatable show.

Hannity has become unwatchable; from time to time he has on a conservative like Bachmann, Palin or Demint but for the most part he has ex Bush elites who despise the Tea Party and mock the most conservative candidates while giving Obama a pass on his radical transformation of the country.

When Sean brings up the whole Newt conservative revolution, I want to hurl on myself.

Is Sean this naive, all you have to do is look up his voting record for the last 30 years?

So here we have Michelle Bachmann giving a speech tonight post state of the union and FOX does not have the common decency to air what most of its viewers want to see; an American patriot, not an inside the beltway hack, reminding us that we do have a voice in Washington.

The left has effectively made us think that Bush was a conservative and that Fox news reports the truth both are flat out lies.

Sorry to disrupt your world view but if you read my post it goes far beyond tonights decision.

The reason why I post such comments, is to educate people like yourself.

Cheers

Gotta hear what Ryan says tonight, too. He talked a real good game while in the minority. Let’s see if his new majority leadership position has tempered his views any.

The best way to deal with any political speech is right here, with the text, after they've cleared the aisles of the ladies with the vapors.

Is anyone seriously going to listen to Goober and whoever the Republican followup guy is? Like he won't even know what Goober said ~ so why bother.

Only chumps rely on these broadcasts.

Worry about educating yourself. I'm sick of all the purity standards by flying monkeys who spend all their time trashing the only people attempting to stop the Left.

You spin your wheels on websites and pretend you're actually doing something. Well done.

I’ve stopped watching Beck. I still admire him for bringing the Obama agenda to the fore. However, along with the rest of FOX News, Beck seems to be buying into the “social justice”, vaguely religious schtick that he warned us about in the beginning.

She was invited to speak on a live internet stream. CNNs tactic of divide and conquer won you over.

The change was most noticeable to me on the night of the 2008 elections.

Hemmer and Kelly were almost salivating as the tally mounted for The Kenyan.

On a happier note....I talked to Laurie Dhue yesterday. (She left FOX in 2008). Says she is going to be returning to TV.

And, yes guys, she is just as beautiful in person!.

The revolution will not be televised. But we can follow it on the Internet.

If CNN does it, it’s because they know the GOP rebuttal isn’t going to offer them the chance to ridicule as much as Bachmann’s speech will.

Precisely.

You’re most welcome!
“idiot”, “nutburger”, “flying monkeys”, terms that identify the user’s style and mindset. Try as they might, they can’t disguise who they are or, for that matter, their ideology and character (or lack thereof). I love watching them foam at the mouth. Thanks for inducing it.
