Group Founded by Van Jones Claims FNC Lies, Proceeds to Lie About Fox, Tea Party
Newsbusters ^ | 8/26/10 | Lachlan Markay

Posted on 08/26/2010 5:38:00 PM PDT by Nachum

Reading through material from the "Turn Off Fox" campaign, one gets the very clear impression that the folks at the Fox News Channel are bold-faced liars. They have "no regard for the truth," and uses "half-truths" to push a "stream of misinformation" and "distortions of the truth." Turn Off Fox is a project started by Color of Change, the far-left political organization founded by neo-Marxist and black liberation theologist Van Jones. Despite Turn Off Fox's righteous indignation, the same document making the above accusations pushes blatant misinformation about both Fox and the Tea Party movement. Got that?

Consider the source....

The MSM will go kwazy about this...
Undoutbedly --FOR- Jones... ANTI- FNC

FNC should just replay Beck's video diary of Van the Red's quotes...
(As many times at it takes!)

This should increase ratings as people tune in to see what the fuss is about.

They will probably like what they see, or more accurately, like it better than the MSDNCCBSCNNABC option.

In other words they cannot win the debate of ideas.

They are working hard to control the web as well.

What did Van Jones say about Mary Mapes and Dan Rather?

Or the various NY Times writers caught for false stories?

Or Rueters Photoshoped Images?

Like the debt uh_bummer is throwing on us won’t cripple our economy, like the open southern borders allowing armies of our enemies in won’t cause great pain, like playing the race card to divide people so he can manipulate the vote, like allowing the black panthers to get off after blatant intimidation, like subjugating the sovereignty of America to the UN, like all muslim strategies of deception before Sharia implementation, Van Jones is a lying sack of shite, and your buddies Uh Bummer and the chicago crowd are pure scumbags..
Fox, and the tea party are kickin your ass..

from an earlier post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2578217/posts
““Fox News isn’t just the home for hate, it’s the home for dangerous and lazy journalism.” says featured member Malkia Cyril,”

This appears to explain alot:
“Malkia Amala Cyril is a 30-year-old queer black writer, organizer and media strategist. A working-class Brooklyn native, Malkia has worked with racial and economic justice youth, community and activist groups in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past nine years. As director of the Center for Media Justice and co-founder of the Media Justice Network, Malkia’s goals are to build the strategic communications capacity of the progressive movement to move a racial/economic justice agenda, and to build the power of youth and other marginalized communities to hold corporate media accountable for biased content and policy. She believes that communications is a human right and should not be for sale.”

“And the funding comes from?”

Soros. Probably the Tides Foundation.

Carol Platt Libeault sat in for Hugh Hewitt today and had this group’s co-founder on the air. She cut him up into smitherines. She patiently let him get all his simpleton talking points out and then she took him to the woodshed. Great job Carol.

Reading through material from the "Turn Off Fox" campaign

At least they spelled the name right.

With these folks, that's far from a given, even for a three letter word.

“Color of Change” (Turn Off Fox) teamed up with MSNBC and NBC for the 2008 elections.
