RFK Jr: Right-Wing Controls American Media, Fox News Has Divided US to a Point not Seen Since Civil
theblaze.com ^ | December 8, 2012 | Christopher Santarelli

During a discussion on HuffPost Live Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave a strong condemnation of what he calls the “right wing media” and particularly Fox News.

“It’s divided our country in a way that we haven’t been divided probably since the Civil War,” Kennedy said of Fox News during the discussion focused on fracking. “Its empowered large corporations to get certain kinds of politicians and ideologues who are in the United State Congress elected — the Tea Party ideologues who control the Republican Party.”

The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of former senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy made these claims against Fox while describing what he sees as the two biggest problems in American politics: the influence of big money and “the right-wing control of the American media.”

In addition to Fox News, Kennedy criticized right-wing talk radio that he describes as having a negative and large influence on whole sections of the country.

“Ninety-five percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing, and you need, according to Pew survey, and you–so a whole section of our country that that’s what they’re hearing. They wake up in the morning, when they go to bed at night,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy also claimed that Republicans “are the only ones that have their own (TV) network.”

RFKJr and the rest of the Libs can’t handle it when anyone presents anything but their liberal socialist big-government high tax and spending ways. Go away Kennedys - we’re tired of you.

Izzat cretin from the same Kennedy family that’s 1) never earned an honest dollar in their lives, 2) the family that never met a women they treated as a human, 3) were all made rich by a felon without a honest and moral cell in his two-celled brain, and 4) never met a bottle O’liquer that then didn’t like?

______________________________” - - - divided our country in a way that we haven’t been divided probably since the Civil War - - - “

Well, Junior Bobby-Boy, you got that part right. However, Obama’s Communist Method is a better fit for the blank space that I left in front of your above quote.

Here’s a REALITY check for you Junior Bobby-Boy: Conservatives make up their minds on what has been done or not done. Liberals make up their minds by what is verbally promised by politicians.

BTW Junior Bobby-Boy, you are a tad late to the party. Yup, Zipper-Boy Clinton’s wife, better known as ‘Auntie’ Hilly beat you to it half a generation ago when she blamed the defeat of her commie Hilly’care’ on THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY.

BTW, BTW Junior Bobby-Boy, The “Civil War” that you referred to, we Conservatives now call the “First Civil War” - - - .

If only Richard Nixon had shaved before that first debate in 1960, the Kennedys would today be unknown.

He's surely giving that proverbial box of rocks a run for its money.

Ninety-five percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing,...

He's right about that, because left-wing talk radio fails every time.
Most of the major news outlets are left-wing and is why 0bama won.
I am so glad that we do get opposing views somewhere and not the exact same government swill on every channel.

Because they are getting ready for another run at the (Un)Fairness Doctrine.
The Regime is pretty certain they can't get it past the House, but they might be able to do it by Executive Order or through FCC regulation. But, before they try, they need to start drumming up a “demand” for it.

The Kennedy’s are not noted for their IQ’s. More for their entitled depravity.

What a moron. Fox didn’t divide this nation, it was divided long before they came along. They just realized that half the country was sick of listening to the liberal drivel and seized the market opportunity.

Dont forget that Adolf Hitler was one of Joe Kennedy’s closest friends and business associate, as well as many other “Aristocrat” families in the US, and of course let us remember that these Proud Demoncrat Leftists Fully Supported Der Furor right up until he Attacked Mother Russia, then they turned on him. For that is where their true loyalties lie.

Is he the one whose second wife just was found hanging in the barn?

No, I think this is the one who was raping his kid's 15-year-old babysitter. Or maybe he's the one who beat the neighbor girl to death with a golf club.
