1. "We Distort. You Deride."

EOM

14. "We deceive. You Believe."

"Make the lies big. Repeat the lies over and over and over. Eventually, you will believe."

"We treat our viewers like farmers treat mushrooms: Feed 'em full of cow shit and keep 'em in the dark."

[Mr. Ected]

2. I don't understand why the FCC doesn't require FOX to run a similar disclaimer

Before each and every "newscast".

Hasn't a court of law already determined that FOX News is entertainment, and not news?

It seems to be a breach of the First Amendment to offer unsubstantiated comments as per se "news".

You can't indiscriminately yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater, not because it isn't protected by the Constitution as freedom of speech, but because it is inherently dangerous to the general public.

Allowing an entertainment group to claim its fantasies are tethered in reality should be similarly limited. There are now several generations of listeners and viewers that cannot discern the difference between the two. They are making decisions, including voting decisions, based on lies, innuendo and overt propaganda.

Instead of being so afraid of Russia, we need to understand, we ARE Russia. It's hiding there in plain sight.

3. The History (choke) channel

should run those disclaimers, too.

5. The Discovery Channel lost me with the...

"documentary" about an expedition that discovered a mermaid washed up on shore. I started watching in the middle because I just happened on it. I didn't read the description. I thought it might be about sea turtles or something, so I started watching and very quickly became confused, and then annoyed. I wanted to be informed. I think they were going for entertaining. I was not entertained. 😒

10. Same here

There was one other they had that was "fantasy" based, don't remember the topic. Some sources should remain pure. Don't want my grandchild tuning into Sesame Street to see 1 + 1 = 3

12. I saw that as well! I discontinued my account

And watch programs sparingly.

8. They have some of the wierdest

ancient alien astronauts,
that Sons of Liberty was just embarrassing (an advertisement for Sam Adams brewery)
the ginseng thing I watched for 20 minutes was just when I was visiting the states a few years back... Wow!
the Manson thing was interesting

Don't they show those idiotic 'reality shows' like the people living in the backwaters of Louisiana and the pawn show and the guys who chop trees?

[Gothmog]

4. Great cartoon

[FreepFryer]

6. Clay Bennett... one of the greatest!

[rpannier]

7. Any resemblence to actual news or facts

is totally by accident

[njcpa1978]

9. Fox News or as we call it - the porn channel.

Does anyone at that station not have an uncontrollable libido? Hannity propositioning a woman at a rally, O'Reilly- enough said, Boiling sending dick pics. Roger taught them well.

13. we lie. you repeat.
