So, what’s up with FoxNews? Yesterday, Brett Baier, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, and Glenn Beck tag-teamed Geert Wilders. Beck climbed up and jumped off the top rope onto Wilders’ head by strongly insinuating that Geert is a fascist. It was like a Hulk Hogan WWE massacre, but this time for real. What in the world is happening over there?
I have an idea and it’s not a very happy one. I think that Diana West has once again hit the target. It wasn’t too long ago that NewsCorp honcho Rupert Murdoch and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal joined hands as investment partners in a broadcast venture – sort of like FoxNews-Saudi Arabia style. Mr. bin Talal is now a major stock-holder in FoxNews. He once bragged that he made a phone call during the Muslim riots in France a few summers back and got Fox to stop calling them Muslim riots.
Here’s West’s latest shot at the bull’s eye:
“It was pile-on time at Fox News tonight as Glenn Beck, Charles Krauthammer, a gal whose name I missed and Bill Kristol all branded Geert Wilders beyond the pale tonight.
Beck classified Geert as a fascist.
Krauthammer said Geert didn’t know the difference between Islam and Islamism — never mind that according to Krauthammer’s idea of Islamic scholarship, neither did Mohammed.
The gal is the middle said she agreed with Imam Krauthammer and added that if people like this (Geert) are elected to lead Holland it will suffer the consequences.
Kristol called Geert a demagogue.

I REALLY, REALLY wish that I didn’t agree with this - but I do!
Fox News: We distort, you decide.
I don’t understand why the whole fox crowd would gang up on gert.
sadly the explanation above does sound like the truth.
the fox crowd got word from higher ups that they had to slam the dutch guy.
Good grief, substitute Dutch with US and he'd get my vote...
The only news organization that wasn’t bowing down to communism/socialism by worshipping all things Democrat is now bowing down to Islam.
I’ve noticed the change as well. Painfult to see.
Why is there no balanced news network other than FNC? Seems it would be a profitable venture.
BTTT
I've been following Geert Wilders and I like his approach to combat Islam...his focus is on Islam itself and the teachings of the Koran......not being compatible with freedom in countries that know freedom...and he is correct. You only have to look at countries Islam intrudes on to see what they become once Islam is dominate...which of course is their agenda.
To see Fox cover up the obvious is a great disappointment...but we all know whoever controls media controls the mindsets worldwide because so few think on their own or bother to research what they are spoon fed.
I so wish that was a call in show so I could have called and asked Charles (who I generally esteem altho I don’t always agree) what he based his opinion on.
They were drunk with stupidity.
Look at the last 1400 years of history of aggressive imperialistic islamic expansion and you will find it speaks loudly for itself. Then look at their progress at becoming “modern” free men. It didnt happen. Only the western civilizations were able to generate freedom, liberty, democracy and progress. This by way, was largely by the cross and its positive philosophies, gifts from God.
The Fox News network was fun while it lasted. Now it’s Fix News...............
Well if you take a couple of hours and watch Martha McCallum, you will find that Fox is now putting the dumbest nitwits on supposedly “reporting” the news.
Why would Fox want to destroy itself? I can’t figure out why they would try to emulate CNN. Bizarre
What’s that name of that remarkably clear-headed Brit who was a member of the European parliament? I say send Scott Brown’s handlers over there to help him challenge Cameron as the Tory leader. We could use some real substance from some European pols.
Money talks. Money Controls. Money corrupts. Money is a weapon. The only defense is the individual, who says “no.”
Will any of the employee/talking heads on FOX say “no” to the cesorship demanded by their stockholders?
When it gets down to the basics, the answer will always be “no.” Money almost always trumps principle, because money is power, and power is the goal.
I saw the Special Report gang last night & was just horrified. I think the problem is they are accepting what others are saying & don’t really have a clue what’s going on in Europe - like non-muslim women wearing hijabs because they feel threatened, rapes of women since muslims see them as whores, policeman refusing to go into predominantly muslim areas. If the muslims will not integrate into a tolerant society, they should be ejected. And at the very least all muslim immigration should be stopped until problems are addressed. That’s only common sense.
Of course, we have the same kind of nonsense here with illegal immigration - the elites think we’re bigots when all we want is to defend the law & stop allowing illegals to become a drain on taxpayers.
FOX has been getting to be Muzzie enablers. They obviously expect their peeps to tow the line.
Shame on FOX.
No one typically goes into those areas, that is why it can be easy to conveniently "forget" what is happening. Stay off certain subway lines, out of certain areas and your contact can be very limited.
This BBC reporter is the best example why the British Empire is losing it.

I think the participants last night were giving their opinion.
That is not construed as reporting or news.
I disagreed with their opinion, also.
I like Wilders concepts.
