Media Matters coordinates campaign against 'lethal' Fox
Google News ^

Posted on 10/23/2009 8:47:51 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

An official at a Democratic-leaning organization sends on a memo the group Media Matters is circulating today to progressive groups, calling Fox "a lethal 24/7 partisan political operation" and rallying a coalition of groups to join the White House assault on the network.

Brock hasn't heard that CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN stood with Fox and backed the administration down.

Sissy boys should stick to their dix.

Lethal to Democrats, the one thing they can’t handle is truth.

Well, of course the rhetoric has escalated since January. The 0bamunists have worked diligently to implement their socialist utopia. SOMEONE has to point out the false premises on which their pogroms are built, and challenge the logic of their politics. God knows the MSM won’t do it.

That only leaves FOX News.

However, what they have witnessed over the past several months is both new and deeply disturbing. In that time, Fox News has, among other things:

• Compared the President of the United States, members of Congress and progressive leaders to Nazis and genocidal dictators such as Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong;
• Referred to President Barack Obama as a racist who has a “deep seeded hatred for white people”;
• Repeated calls for revolution in the supposed defense of liberty;
• Simulated the assassination of Speaker Nancy Pelosi on air;
• Routinely insinuated that the Obama administration and Democratic Congress are destroying the United States as we know it.

Of course FOX has done none of these things. Individuals who appear on FOX may have done so. There is a huge difference. To say nothing of the fact that Bush was compared to Hitler constantly. We all know that Media Matters would have no problem if any of the above were directed at a Republican.

>>>>>"At Media Matters, we believe it is of paramount importance that progressive leaders have the information necessary to understand exactly what Fox News has become.

What Fox News has become is the #1 source for REAL news on cable or network TV.

David Brock is a snippy little homo. He should have stuck to exposing the sexual adventures of public figures.

“What Fox News has become is the #1 source for REAL news on cable or network TV.”

I’d have to argue that it is the only source for REAL news on cable or the networks.

This Fox war is so funny… and the best part is what it says about the rest of the media. Isn’t it curious that Barry O never complains about them and some of them are actually starting to look in the mirror and wonder why. The Obama Administration is now wallowing in the gutter of personal attack and name calling and they’ve dug so deep they can’t comeback, and they have the audacity to call on legitimate journalist to join them… But legitimate journalist won’t. Instead, they’re just laughing at them.

Self destruction is a terrible thing to watch, but Obama and his administration are heading for it in full steam mode and if he performs for the rest of his term like he has for the first 10 months, this guy may not even win the nomination of his party let alone a second term as President.

"Of course FOX has done none of these things. Individuals who appear on FOX may have done so."

I just heard Rick Sanchez from CNN - who is billed as a "journalist", not a commentator - compare Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio (a man serving in his 5th term as Sheriff) to Bull Connor and described his tactics as "Gestapo-like". Of course, no one has any problem with that.

Waiting for the WH to go after Jake Tapper, ABC News, who has been asking the tough questions especially about the Fox issue and getting little to no response from Gibbs.

Are these people playing with a full deck? We aren’t the USSR, yet. They’re sure as hell trying to make us that though. They keep this crap up, people are going to take it to the streets. Keep pushing as**oles.

[Article] Routinely insinuated that the Obama administration and Democratic Congress are destroying the United States as we know it.

They don't have to insinuate that ..... it's right out there in the open. Just look at the finances. Can you add?

And they might try to spell "deep-seated" correctly, too.

Their neck sizes might be close. Other than that .....

Oh, and let's remind our Arizona friends to give John McCain's Senate seat to Sheriff Arpaio first chance they get (which will be real soon).

Hi, Laz.

Brock hasn't heard that CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN stood with Fox and backed the administration down.

When did they do that? It sure wasn't flying from their flagpoles if they did .... I'd believe sotto voce murmurs in a closet, that's about it.

Glad to hear it, though.

Fox News is today’s Joe McCarthy. “Blacklisted by History” by Stanton Evans lays it all out.
