Did anyone notice that FOX
had no coverage of Rosa Parks' Funeral. (I sometimes like to flip through the 24hr. news channels to see what is being mentioned and framed.) FOX had a typical Day Side; no mention of real issues or the real world. While the rest of the world watched a moving ceremony celebrating the life of an Icon of the Civil Rights Movement FOX had Michele Malkin on taking about how liberals are unhinged and how she,as a poor Republican Minority, is discriminated against as are many other minority republicans.
I really loath FOX!!!!!!:mad:

1. If you don't expect them to be journalists
you won't be disappointed.

8. I agree
Make yourself a more peaceful person by just avoiding them. I did. Now I don't even think about them. I wish others would too--they seem so mercenary I'm sure that an economic incentive would be just the thing they need.

5. Is Malkin the ugliest thing you've ever seen, or what?
Her face could make a freight train turn down a dirt road.

13. Her looks is nothing compared to the "ugly" in her thoughts
She supported internment of American Japanese. She's one radical something or other.

6. I saw that also!
I planned to post this also... I guess Foxvda cannot risk alienating all of their trailer trash in-breeder viewers who find it insulting that Rosa Parks dared to stand up to the white southern racists!

9. I didn't realize Fox was not covering it, but I did realize that Bush

was nowhere to be seen. Were there ANY Republicans in evidence?

You think they'd be courting those black folks, if only for the next Republican mid-term election, now less than a year away.

Clinton was there and gave a pretty stirring speech.

10. I noticed, and thought it was a pretty brazen decision . . .
Like a boycott, or something . . .

12. It is to Faux/Bushco's shame.
Maybe they agree with the right wing bushbot site that said Blacks should get on their knees and thank the Whites for bringing them to this country.

Michael Savage also went racist against Rosa Parks. His right wing bushbots loved it.

We've got a long way to go to meet MLK's dream.

16. I saw coverage...
I was checking all the cable news channels just to check and Faux was covering it, too. At another time, only MSNBC was covering it.
