Rational Thinkers are Radical!

Fox News is desperately trying to convince the rest of America that they are "fair and balanced" and the rest of us are just "radical fringe". If "radical fringe" is code for analytical thinkers who think for themselves - well sign me up!

I post good news articles to the right....please take a sec and read the Daily Kos entry about Edwards & the Fox News debate. Fox News is trying to hit back, but it is so transparently authoritarian that most American have to realize it is blatant BS.

here is a snippet:


"Meanwhile, Atrios has the perfect response to the threats and demands Fox News is currently throwing out:

Do actual respectable "balanced" news networks issue press releases telling candidates and political parties what they are and aren't supposed to do?

But, but, but ... All Fox News and conservatives everywhere wanted was to help Democrats reach out and attract new voters! [/concern troll]

Update: Further riffing off Atrios' point, check out the Fox News response:

“News organizations will want to think twice before getting involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus, which appears to be controlled by radical fringe out-of-state interest groups, not the Nevada Democratic Party. In the past, MoveOn.org has said they ‘own’ the Democratic Party. While most Democrats don’t agree with that, it’s clearly the case in Nevada.”

A supposed "fair and balanced" network uses the words "radical fringe ... interest groups" to describe mainstream Democratic grassroots groups. Would a truly unbiased outlet call MoveOn "radical fringe"?

Nope, those are right-wing GOP talking points. No surprise, but it's funny how even their hissy fit betrays their radical right-wing Ann Coulter agenda."

Why do we have to play these silly games? Its hard for me to realize that some people really do get their "news" from Fox News.

So I just chug along trying to show how dangerous it is to give away rational, analytical thought processes in favor of cool graphics and bias-filled drivel.

Please pass the word around.......Fox News is bat-shit crazy (and not in a good way :)

Peace
