Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/21/2010 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 07/21/2010 6:39:38 AM PDT by Outside da Box

If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond? As he clutched his chest in desperation and pain, would you call 911? Would you try to save him from dying? Of course you would.

But if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio, that isn’t what you’d do at all.

In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

What? This is supposed to be shocking? That liberals are consumed with hatred of all with whom they disagree? Hardly an Earth-shattering revelation.

Petty, spitefull, tiny little minds consumed with arrogance and hatred . . . that is today's liberal.

Listen. The leftist media watchers are watching Fox every day, recording every word, wishing feverishly that some talking head would say something they can crucify him on. Then they will have a case. They will run to the govermnent and say that Fox is racist and should be shut down.

When Fox News is shut down, No network TV affiliate will be left unburned. There will be fires and destruction of TV stations. No reporter will be safe on the street.

What remains of the newspaper industry will be ashes.

The war will spread all across the land as the means for the transgressions are destroyed. The acts will go unreported because the means will be gone

Aren’t liberals such warm hearted people?

Do you think that this sarah chick will ever wise up that this govt. will come after her as well?

Dictators use the current agreeable media to seize power, then turn on that same media in order to prevent a counter coup. Stalin, Mao, Uncle Ho, Castro, the norks, most of the African dictators, Khomeni, Saddam and on and on have done much the same.

When will the dimwit media figure out that they are in danger as well?

More from the article that really explains the left:

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”

That explains the liberal attitude in the country, and not only hating conservatives, but the country itself.

Isn’t Murdoch a big liberal, and isn’t Fox News about like all the others? I never watch any of them.

Well, the American people certainly believe that and have been told so for decades. Most can't figure out that they have been "had".

“Murdering fascist,” surely, but the American people don’t know that.

Probably not. I doubt the leadership at NPR looks upon her ravings as proof of mental illness. I would imagine they are all mentally ill.

Instead of that I’d rather export them to turd world utopian hellhole like North Korea to show them what their ideas eventually bring if not stopped and balanced out.

Thanks. When I read the article earlier it didn’t have that for some strange reason.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond? ...if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio (...a producer for NPR affiliate KCRW for the show Left, Right & Center), that isn’t what you’d do at all.

In a post to the list-serv Journolist... Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.

Defund the Left. Defund PBS/NPR.

Let's set up a betting pool to see which liberal journalist calls for death camps for conservatives first...

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their (Fox News') broadcasting permit once it expires?

Because they are a CABLE network, not broadcast. They fall outside of the domain of the FCC.

It appears that all billionaires are liberals and Murdoch is no exception. From what I read (I don't watch any TV) Fox News is somewhat more objective than the other networks but certainly is no conservative TV network.

But here on FR, Fox News is considered the Light. Why so much time is devoted to watching such programming continues to be a mystery to me. FReeping and reading are much better uses of my time.
