he owns Fox News, the antithesis of the MSM.

On one level I agree. On another, I disagree. Fox is a statist network of the right, just like the rest are statist networks of the left.

How about a source of your parenthetic comment? Prussian Blue was around as a non-toxic pigment long before Hitler--about 200 years. It's still useful in some medical treatments.

The source and quotation are linked in #10. It's from these young nazis themselves, at a nazi site.

I'll repeat it here, reply #159.

Back when this was news, the Glenn Beck show played a medley of Prussian Blue hits. They were awesomely bad (Glenn was begging to be stabbed in the ears). One of their songs was a tribute to Goering.

Reed doesn't mention that Kambon was fired.

This reminds me of Mary Mapes claiming she wasn't a wild-eyed liberal and then having to deal with O'Reilly's questions about her support for Cindy Sheehan. Her replies were always "I wasn't aware she had said that" or "I only meant I supported her as a mother and because of her courageous stand, not because I agreed with her positions, which I did not know until now". I don't happen to believe Mary Mapes, but even if she was telling the truth, it's her own fault for decided to declare support for someone or some thing without doing the least bit of research first.

Same with Fred Reed. If he'd listened to the darned songs, he'd KNOW why it's hate.

Fact is, the Prussian Blue and Kambon stories were both little tiny blips on the news radar, and it was only the net that gave them any longevity. Kind of undercuts his whole point about the MSM.
