1. Journalists watch each other's back.

Even if they are a male prostitute lobbing softballs to Bush.

2. free speech.

It's for everyone, even CNN and Fox.

3. Free Speech has absolutely nothing to do with it.

No one is talking about shutting down Fox News, so that argument is a straw-man and a distraction.

4. Because fox is full of shit..

too bad they couldn't see all of this bad news during Bush adm. Now,they think we are suppose to get riled up and excited as they tell us how many troops have been killed in Afghanistan. We have been riled up for years as we watched the carnage in Iraq and lebanon and some are now desensitized when they hear it.Fox tried to hide everything that was going on in the middle east when we saw it anyway and some of it I will never forget.

Somehow they seem to think that we don't understand that if the President sends or doesn't send troops many will continue to die. They still continue with this VICTORY bullshit when there will never be VICTORY. A lot of the people still hate America and Americans and Ilian ros lathan is still spouting her bullshit about how we need to help the women over there but,these same motherfuckers don't give a damn about the women in this country living in the streets.

Also CNN and howard kurtz is full of shit,everytime I hear this bullshit about how the whitehouse is attacking foxnews and the media I want to scream. Kurtz wants us to believe that the commentators he named who used to work at fox are now against Obama is suppose to be not true.

Hemmer and a lot of these people he named are rightwing tools as the little bitch on American morning who use to be on fox,this phoney little bitch acts like she is so suprised about people from other cultures. There is no damn media,these silly motherfuckers follow what foxnews tells them to. Now,if Obama said he wouldn't give none of these bitches an interview guess what we would be hearing..

5. Howie is an asshat

How the f*ck he ever got a job as a "critic" is beyond me. "Cheerleader" would be a better title; "misinformed self-important blowhard" would be even closer...

6. Honor among thieves?

My opinion: the other corporate media are afraid that if the Obama administration succeeds in portraying FAUX as lying sacks of partisan shit, then people will focus a critical eye upon them. The whole charade depends upon the public perception that the corporate media provides a worthwhile service, and if the general perception about them turns to shit, then their present model is destined for extinction (which it is anyway IMO, and I believe they know it, but they're lazy and don't want to change until forced to do so).

7. Somewhere somebody got this notion someone was going to shut Fox down.

Where they got that idea I have no idea. It would seem kinda silly to shut down Fox while now Shutting down the KKK wouldn't it? (or White Power etc)

Think those polygamists (the bad ones. there are good ones but not the sect style) still run their website.

We can still buy Triumph of the Will and Birth of a Nation. So CNN must have brains made of applesauce to think anyone would shut Fox down. o_O

And Ann Coulter can still drop a turd on the street while looking like a man. And we can still try to throw pie's in her face.


And I think this is another one. either that or the video is different http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPsU-kSBnwI&NR=1
