PRESS RELEASE: 8/13/03, 4:16 PM
SUBJECT: FOX-Sleaze vs. FOX-News : Conservatives Must Decide!
The Catholic Family Association of America (CFAA) issued a call to moral conservatives to fight the scheduled mainstreaming of pornography by Fox Broadcasting by hitting Rupert Murdoch where they have the most influence, the ad revenues of FOX-News.
In an article called The Music Man, appearing on the CFAA web site, president Timothy A. Chichester denounced the pending introduction of "Skin", a show designed to mainstream pornography under the guise of a Romeo and Juliet romance between a "good" pornographer's daughter and a "bad" LA district attorney's son.
Chichester blasted Jim Leonard, creator and executive producer of the program, who boasted that "We have a working porn director who is a technical adviser for us", for attempting to mainstream the ideas that the porn industry is a legitimate business and the walking cess-pool sludge who run it are really not just plain folk, but better than those that oppose them.
Citing Fox owner Murdoch as one who also thinks we really need a show that "glorifies and promotes the smut industry that has devastated more lives than we can ever imagine, while it undermines the very concept of moral self-control," the article goes on to observe: "Murdoch happily rakes in the cash from both sides of the cultural divide. In one hand he holds FOX-Sleaze and the other FOX-News. The first caters to the social liberals based on the proposition that the deeper the TV dumpster the bigger the bottom-feeder bucks to be hauled up. FOX-News caters to those who seek refuge from the nauseating reek of the pit. Wow, what a market straddle! What a two-headed money machine."
CFAA is asking that viewers let Murdoch know what they think of his attempts to use their minds "as his personal sewerage filtration plant" by turning off FOX-News for three days a week until Murdoch cancels "Skin".

I'm a big fan of the Romeo and Juliet story, especially since the movie version with Claire Danes came out.
Was that the one with the supremely untalented Leonardo DiCraprio in it? Never saw it, 'cause I prefer my men to look like men, not adolescent girls.

Actually, if you go to FOX6.com - you will see a link for the show - when you get to that link - you can order the CD - for each SEASON. You get to see the whole 24 hours at one setting without the week by week interruptions.
It's a great show!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio either. But he's easy to overlook -- most everthing else about the movie was crazy and beautiful and really well done. Claire Danes was perfect -- just cute as a button. Overall it may be my single all-time favorite movie.
Some other Shakespeare movies are also well done -- I liked the version of Hamlet with Ethan Hawke, and 12th Night directed by Tervor Nunn in 1996.

Perhaps the Catholic church could return to the "League of Decency" ratings that existed when I was a kid. Then they can practice full blown censorship.
It strikes me that all the fine minds in the Catholic church need to focus on cleaning the pedofiles and apologists from their house. Then they can be a moral authority for FOX.

How about the Kenneth Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing? Splendid!

You can report this all you want, but I decided: I like Fox shows, and Fox News.
To: McGavin999
Yeah, no kidding, just because you don't like the tv shows on Fox TV, don't blame Fox News Channel. I don't know what I would do without Bill O'reilly to filter out all of the crap that was blown our way in the disguise of "news" from CNN and MSNBC
