Oh yeah, like that's going to happen!

Monday, July 12, 2004 Any news organization that thinks this story is legitimate is opening itself to having its copyrighted material taken out of context for partisan reasons. The illegal copyright infringement actions of Moveon.org in cooperation with the New York Times, including “cutting a deal” not to give FOX News Channel adequate time to react, is unprecedented. The New York Times corrupts the journalistic process by taking orders from a George Soros-funded web site – Soros is a left-wing billionaire currency speculator who funds many liberal efforts. This is the real story. If any news organizations decide to make this an anti-FOX News story, then all of their material becomes fodder immediately for possible out of context and biased documentaries. The former low-level FOX employees are hardly worth addressing. Some of the “sources” for this documentary never worked for FOX News Channel. Some left because of incompetence, and none expressed concern about editorial policy while employees. They represent fewer than 10 employees out of 2,000 over 8 years. Any news organization that believes this story is big and FOX News Channel is a problem will be challenged by FOX News Channel in the following manner: If they will put out 100 percent of their editorial directions and internal memos, FOX News Channel will publish 100 percent of our editorial directions and internal memos, and let the public decide who is fair. This includes any legitimate cable news network, broadcast network, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post.

Alright. Fine. So here's what I am hoping will happen. I hope the libs run with this flick and Murdoch in turn takes them to the cleaners publically in a big way. Turn lemons into lemonaide so to speak. I also hope that Fox News rounds up all of their current ex-CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al, employees and allows those people a forum to tell the real story about working for those liberally biased networks. As I understand it they have some dooseys to share.
All Americans should rise up against these people
Well? Don't just threaten them. Do it!
Excerpted from what?
That's the whole story.
Nice try, but Roger Ailes thinks these guys wouldn't create fictional memos for "comparison purposes." C'mon Rog, get with it already.
THat be something if he tell Roger Alies Mate go for it
GO ON Sky news GO ON Brit papers reveal everything to all around the world newspaper including Murdoch own papers in Austrila and Britain
Fleet Street would tear CNN and MSNBC APART
Yeah, I noticed that too. When I clicked 'post', I got a screen that indicated FNC must be excerpted and gave me a button to automatically excerpt so I clicked that and up came the entire article. Perhaps, the short length of the article is the reason and a mod would want to fix that.
Oh yeah, like that's going to happen!
Amazing how Fox drives the lefties berserk. The very idea that some dissenting approach should get out there is life-threatening to them. I note that no violence is permitted in posts, so therefore I will refrain from giving my opinion on options for dealing with the mainstream press.
Not only that, but Fox viewers I would hazard a guess, are more fiercely loyal to Fox than say a CBS viewer. A CBS viewer watches the CBS news usually because A. They only have an antenna or B. It is what comes on after the local news they prefer. People watch Fox because they really want to. That loyalty will end up hurting moveon. They are preaching to the choir with this.
The thing is, the journalistic trade is such a closed society, they honestly believe they are unbiased.
Ted Turner must be rolling over in his grave.
The nation loves FOX, and made it #1. The Democrats are attacking the American peoples choice this time.
Yep. A fish is unaware that it is surrounded by water, and the press is unaware of how far left it is because they only work with like-minded people. They are also sanctimonious and regard themselves as some kind of priestly caste.
That might not be the case. And that might be why they are so intent upon trashing FOX. They know they have an agenda, not entirely shared by FOX. And so FOX is a threat to that biased and liberal agenda. And they are aware of that. That's why they . . go . . after FOX.
Yeah, but we have internal moles too.
THIS IS A GREAT RETORT!
"If they will put out 100 percent of their editorial directions and internal memos, FOX News Channel will publish 100 percent of our editorial directions and internal memos, and let the public decide who is fair. This includes any legitimate cable news network, broadcast network, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post."
Let's have openness! I dont think the lamestream press has any idea how deep they are stepping into it.
Just out of curiosity, is David Schuster one of the "snitches." Was he disgruntled when he left Fox?
This is another attempt by the Liberal Media to extract propaganda and to control all exploits of abnormal functions in abnormal humans.
Fox lays it on the line! There will be NO takers.
bump for later....
We all know what happens when that fish is pulled out of the water, now don't we. He flips and he flops, he gasps and he chokes. Then he is still, the fight gone out of him. I think it's called "the death throws". Quite appropriate of the left, dontcha think?
I thought that idiot was still living?
Thanks for completing the analogy. And let's not forget how much that fish stinks when it is exposed to air and light.
he he he...
btw, you can post a review of his trashy first movie on amazon.com, if you have an amazon.com account - lots of fun:

This is how this all works:
The press deludes itself into thinking it is the 'mainstream', ala the center.
Fox News, being at the real center/balanced position is therefore 'right wing' because it is to the right of the 'mainstream', which any rational being would see as being on the left.
The old joke used to be call someone 'to the right of Ghengis Khan'. Now, though, the press is to the left of Nickolai Lenin.
bravo
ping
Indeed it does.
There doesn't need to be. There's another way to dig up all those internal memos. It's called "the discovery process". Sue 'em, Fox! In fact, wouldn't it be delicious to see a class action suit against CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NY Times, LA Times, Wash. Post, Time and Newsweek for having an unfair consortium on news coverage, proving that they are not actually competitors at all but merely inbred propaganda organizations of the same ideology with the intent on limiting competition and monopolizing public opinion? Even if you lose the suit, the insider info would reveal all sorts of dirty laundry and incestuous relations.
Go fo it, Fox! We must defeat the evildoers!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
This is just not going to go anywhere. It's ridiculous. I think its better if we all just realize how stupid the whole thing is and take the high road on this one.
Thanks for the ping!
Yeah - FOX should have kept its powder dry and just started the real detailing of bias after the initial charges from the "driven snow" NY Times.
I love it... The whole democratic party is backing this wacko Greenwald, not realizing that their credibility is now shot. Greenwald is an extremist, and MoveOn.org is even worse. I wouldn't trust them with my empty beer cans...
What you have here is a bunch of soreheads who simply do not like that Fox News unlike a lot of it's competitors doesn't present liberal or progressive viewpoints as representing neutrality. Apparently, if you don't present the news in this way, you're not a legitimate news organization.
The reality whether anybody wants to accept it or not is people are getting sick and tired of liberal and progressive viewpoints being presented as representing neutrality. They want change and there is no way they're going to accept this kind of reporting anymore.
Fox News is the most watched of all the TV news organizations broadcast and cable. That's not going to change and no Democrat party or movon.org hack movie is going to change people's attitudes or choices about where they get their news.
If I as a news and information consumer want to watch Fox News or listen to Newstalk Radio or get my news from Free Republic, that's my own business and nobody else's Where I and ther people get our news should be left up to us and not these Bill Clinton types.
I for one will not vote for or coooperate with any politician or anybody else that has a problem with me getting all my news from Fox News or Conservative talk radio or the internet. These idiots are no friends of mine and they're certainly not my neighbors.
Regards.
This is a media war which will be a pleasure to watch unfold. The Left doesn't know what they are getting themselves into. Any exposure of their agendas will slowly wake up the public to what has been going on for over half a century.
I just found out this turd is already available on DVD! I thought this was supposed to be a theatrical release. All this attention for some straight-to-video garbage? It's funny, they laugh at the lawsuit Fox News threatened against Stuart Smalley. I laugh at this lame "action" in the war on Fox News.
Heh. In another forum, this guy was trying to illustrate Fox News bias by saying, "O'Reilly - fair and balanced? No, it's propaganda!" Heh. If someone can't even tell the difference between an opinion show and news. . . .
