My new years resolution no more fox news or right wing radio crap

[DanCa]

Starting Janurary first I promise to make my life as fox free as possible. I wont watch fox, the asshat Hannity, or the serial liar Bill O'Reilly. I promise to hit these bastards where they live in there ratings and wont give them any more attention than they deserve. We can get enough of thier bs through snippets on Keith O and Air America anyhow why give the walking slime bag hannity any more air time? So who else is with me no more fox news, limbaugh, hannity or oreilly once the new year starts.

1. I'm way ahead of you

I've never listened to or watched any of them.

I listened to a bit of Savage once to convince my officemate he's bad. Luckily for me, he made my point by making a racist statement in the middle of a diatribe on something that had nothing to do with race.

8. Same Here

I couldn't care less what they say. I've heard it all before. The song hasn't changed for nearly 20 years. The old line about "know your enemy" is a canard. When their tune hasn't been altered in the least, it's not necessary to hear it for the umpteenth time.

2. Believe me, it is better for your health not to listen to these jerks.

6. I agree and I am with you on this DanCa

I stopped for a while. I really thought that it didn't make a difference but it does-it bleeds into your head and won't get out. I stopped for a few months and recently started tuning back in when I am in my car.

Trust me you will love not thinking about their BS or running through counter talking points in your head. It will also open up your head to really seeing issues outside of the norms of the talking points.

3. None of that right now.

The only time I've listened to a rw radio show was when we were driving across the country and I was looking for an NPR or AAR station to listen to-and as soon as I realized what it was, I tuned to another station or turned off the radio.

4. I shitcanned watching all cable news last ny eve.

I now get all my news coverage via the internet.

Very liberating.

5. Fox is Blocked

Every TV in my house has faux news blocked on it and it's been blocked ever since I set up the cable box. The only reason I know what Hannity looks like is just in case I see that piece of shit on the street so I can spit in his face.

7. Bless you brother. You have entered the temple of

propaganda free sound bytes. I haven't watched for over a year and haven't missed a thing that is important to know.

[LSK]

9. i think i watched FOX for a total of 10 minutes this year

Because someone posted in GD to turn it on during the Katrina coverage.

10. I hate to say this, but I

still tune in to Limbaugh, Ingraham and Liddy from time to time and plan on doing so in 2006 and beyond. Like it or not, it does pay to know what the enemy is thinking or what lines they've been fed by El Drugbo.

On the other hand, I can't bring myself to listen to Hannity or Savage, and since I don't pay for cable TV I have never seen Faux News.

[DanCa]

11. Doesn't Franken Still give out Rush sound bytes though?

Thats how i plan on being informed. I haven't listed to daytime air america in ages though.

[Ron Mexico]

13. He does, but

not often enough for me to know what El Drugbo's latest pet cause is. Usually there's one new one and four or five recycled ones to fill up the rest of the three hours.

[LSK]

15. how could you be "informed" listening to compulsive liars?

Yes Rush is featured on "Wait wait, dont lie to me". Thats about the only time I listen to that worthless piece of trash.

If you are listening to them to get a feel of where the right wing is coming from, I have been there and you are truly more effective if you are informed with the FACTS.

Start listening to AAR TODAY.

18. Check it out here — it's better than listening to him:

20. You just made my Christmas list, probably for life

Am I the only one who didn't know about this site? How long has it been up, and how much needless suffering have I endured by not knowing about it?

AUGH!

[NYCGirl]

21. David Brock has been running Media Matters for America for about a

year and a half, and it sure helps! Brock is providing a valuable public service.

And here's one for those who want to find out what Fox News is doing without having to watch it:

Edited to add: David Brock is a regular guest on Al Franken's show every Wednesday.

22. Thanks for this, sincerely.

I know little about Fox News frist-hand, and haven't had the stomach to try to find out. These sites you showed me today were bookmarked as fast as sites can be. Thanks a million :)

[Robert Cooper]

12. You'll live longer...and better :-) nt

[WiseButAngrySara]

14. I have listened to Faux news NEVER. I have heard RW radio hatred

spew ONLY as long as it took me to change the channel. You need to alter your brain chemistry if you can even stomach this crapola. I have NEVER been able to, so thankfully, no New Years Resolution is ever going to be 'necessary' for me along those lines. I frankly pity you.

[thereismore]

16. Good. Why pollute your system with crap. My POX news is blocked and

there is so much good liberal radio that I neevr have an urge to "visit".

[Initech]

17. I never, ever watch Faux News

I can get the jist of their bullshit through Media Matters!

[Just Me]

19. You deserve to treat yourself kindly.

Trust me, you will find more peace avoiding that crap!

[NI4NI]

23. Here! Here!

Both MM4A and Newshounds websites give you all the coverage on all the crap that every one of those Fox A-Holes are discharging without you having to personally enter the O'Reilly Fartor's No Shame Zone, or having to listen to any one of those rhetorically redundant right wing retarded bastards starting with that nutbag Spawn Innsanitty, and ending with Mr."Oxy-Moron" himself...."Painkillers give me such a Rush" Limbaugh.
