Re: Fox Red Eye sucks!

I'm American and I hate Fox News. Nearly everything piece of information that they broadcast has been tainted, manipulated, perverted, or otherwise fabricated. I remember my professor showing our climatology class a clip played on Fox, of a pundit making false allegations against Al Gore, who, according to him, had made up climate statistics. My professor immediately followed this with a clip Gore's remarks and the scientific community corroborating them.

Unfortunately many people hold the words of Fox near that of the Gospel (and most of them hold the Gospel in pretty high regard).

There is a huge regional disparity though. Up north, (I'm in Pennsylvania), the general consensus is that Fox is total bullshit. But when you travel down south, lets just say, it has a monopoly on television sets.

The fact that Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reily, and Rush Limbaugh have so many followers, well that's worse than any nightmare my mind has even conjured during sleep.

That's clearly a sign of intelligence.

Fox News has brought journalism to an abject level that would be impossible in many other places. It's viperish, cynic, and it constantly muddles information with propaganda. In the EU they would have been closed down for a long time.

Cheers, Thomas
