Thanks, Dan, but Fox will do just fine on its own. :)

News Corp execs endorsed John Kerry in 2004. Thanks for propagating, Dan Ratherbiased.

Dan: “There’s only one Watergate.”

Maybe so, but we have Benghazi.

Danny boy trying to be relevant.
And failing.

Roger Ailes is the target of a new book written by New York magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman entitled The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News -- and Divided a Country.

It amazes me to see the depth of the lack of understanding, that if a nation only has one voice (adopted by all), it can be a cataclysmic circumstance if that voice is wrong.

The Left in our nation is doing its best to nullify our Founders impact, and their Founding Documents impact on our nation.

That is dead wrong. And not anyone who disagrees with this is spared the charge of being a radical terroristic turncoat, when it is they (the Left) who have abandoned our founding and seek to do a total 180 on what this nation has always stood for.

Thank God there is division in our nation. And may that same God forbid the Left's victory on this. If not, then the whole world goes dark.

So a lying propagandists wants to defend the ONLY news organization that is not filled with other lying propagandists?

King introduced Rather as a best-selling author, “one hell of a White House correspondent, and one of the best anchors ever

Who was fired in disgrace for dishonesty and barely knows which way is up?

Fx News and GOP ignore the federal government’s constitutonally limited powers as much as Democrats do imo.

“There was only one Watergate,” Rather asserted,
Just as there was one first moon landing, one I have a dream speech, one Ronald Reagan, one 1969 Mets, one Woodstcok, and sadly one 9/11 and one Benghazi. What's the relevance, Mr. Rather?

[Mr. K]

Thats funny...

“Dan, Is fox news the very evil news arm of the GOP?”

Dan: “I would stop short of saying they are VERY evil”

I guess he doesn’t like the term “Rathergate” either.

Dan finished by saying that 60 Minutes is still the best journalism show on TV. He then listed this week’s topics to buttress his supposition:

Segment 1 - Squirrels prefer nuts to bon-bons

Segment 2 - Why gay people are so happy and healthy

Segment 3 - Why MSNBC is the most unbiased journalism network on the planet

hmm...Dan RatherNOT pokes his head out and said something useful...
Too bad...'ol Dan can't say the same about the NYT/LAT/WaPo/(A)merican
(P)ravda / ABCNNBCb$ / FauxNC, for being propagandist branch of the DNC.

[Mr. K]

Instead of asking his OPINION on whether Fox is propagandist for the GOP they should ask him if it is a FACT that he was propagandist for the Democrats.

Dan knows what a real propaganda machine looks like. He was part of one for many many years.
