Imagine if America was a dictatorship.

You could get things done by bypassing various Houses of Congress at your will.
You could help your rich friends by bailing them out when they gamble and lose.
You could impose substandard health care on the masses, while you and your cronies continued to receive the best.
The media would claim to free but would actually be controlled by, and be the mouthpiece for only one political party.
You could wire-tap phones without warrants.
You could monitor internet usage at-will.
You could declare your own citizens ‘foreign combatants’, and torture foreign prisoners.
You could have rigged elections and not one media entity would object.
You could lie about why you continued a war.
You could ignore and lie about, then sweep under the rug any embarrassing international incidents.
You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests.
If your ‘Constitution’ forbade certain actions, you could use the UN to implement them anyways.

I don’t disagree with you about FOX. Those who are there are attracted to power just like those in the other media and the democrat party, they may just slightly differ on the severity of the rule if you will. I remember years ago when Drudge had his own show he was let go/left because he wanted to show a picture of an aborted child. Then you saw other media hacks leaving the other channels to get a gig with FOX. Maybe that was because they weren’t as true blood as those nutjobs at MSNBC or CNN are now and need a more sane outlet or they just came over to infiltrate to spread there diseased mind and culture. That said how FOX was being run then, showed that there was very little in the way of character there, it was pure branding by trying to fill a niche that conservative like minded people where demanding. Just look at Murdock’s problems over seas in Britan. Or who owns a good stake in his media company that prevents very little bad coverage if any on Saudia Arabia. Look at show trials they and the other media faun over like there reliving the OJ trial or the missing people reports. I can’t stand watching any of it.

And there you have it. That is exactly what has happened with FOX, or all of it was a complete hoax from the git go. It just took this long for us peons to figure out the mind games they were playing, ending with Mitt Romney.

I will not miss cable, I will not miss FOX. Slobbering fools. I will get my news from FR, the news is always on here first anyway, rofl. I think FOX just comes in to see what all the chatter is about every morning and that is their headline for the day.

THAT: "ROMNEY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN BEAT OBAMA", will never get out of my head.
