This would be funny if not so scary
I read this in the comments section of the Mediaite website:

WHY are so many people not paying attention to the real news. YES, I mean FoxNews. Yes, they do give the true facts and yes, you can make up your own mind. As for MSNBC or NBC, CBS, ABC or any other, they only tell you what the left wants you to hear. You have no way to decide, because they tell you these things as they are true gospel. NEVER a word about what this administration does that definitely is the wrong thing. Come on you BIG media, tell the right AND wrong side of each subject, PLEASE!


What is scary about this is that millions of people actually think this is the truth.

3. My aunt's pastor tells the congregation to only watch Fox News...
Now THAT is truly terrifying!

GOD wants you to watch Fox News and only Fox News.

:scared:

I keep telling her she's listening to false prophets, and the signs are all there... oh well...

4. I guess the person thinks this because if you go to CNN
they repeat over half the lies Fox tells.

10. Hey there TfG!!!
It is scary. Another person on that site wrote this:

FNC routinely criticized Bush during his administration for a wide variety of reasons.


When asked to prove it, he could only come up with a transcript where Sean Hannity mildly questions Bush's immigration policy.

11. That would hardly be
any denouncement of Bush's actions as President, now would it.

9. I visit the VA hospital
Edited on Mon Jun-21-10 03:04 PM by AsahinaKimi
And my Veteran Friend and noticed despite the many TVs there in various places, none of them are on FOX NEWS. In fact, I have seen veterans fight to keep it off the TV.

Why would they want to watch the propaganda that FOX spews.
