I know “subsidizing” is a big word Congressman dumba$$ but look it up.

Hilarious. McGovern would probably blow a gasket to learn that CNN advertises on FNS all the time.

It would be interesting to see where the most effective military recruitment advertising dollars are spent: Fox/CNN/MSNBC.

I really need some feedback here. Maybe it’s just ME , maybe I missed something but...Has anyone ever yet seen or heard on tv or radio or in print a single person who says they know this guy ?
I mean so far I’ve never seen anyone say , I went to school with him or I hung out with him or I was at his wedding or we used to go fishing together or I was in his class or he was my lawyer. No one not ever ! As I said maybe i missed the article or radio show but can someone point me in the right direction. Dead serious here.

This may be a good idea. No more government funded ads on Fox News means not more Obamacare propaganda on the most watched news channel out there.

And these people are our leaders...

I agree - if it will make the likes of McGovern and his ilk shut up about Fox News, they should strip all direct Federal contributions from Fox - if they can find any........

Do you really think doing anything will make the Libs shutup? Sadly, I doubt it.

I am guessing the funding is for PSAs...like what they put on the radio. I don’t think we need federal PSAs...they are not looking out for the taxpayer in any way—especially from a funding standpoint. However, as I previously stated, I don’t think de-funding FOX will shutup libs about FOX News—they will just find something new to complain about...

My boys are huge fans of SouthPark for its political bent; however, they are very busy....Do you happen to know which episode that was?

[scorchedearther]

Just goes to prove that not only are the democrats commie bastards but they are also morons as well.

[eyedigress]

It was their Mormon episode. Draw the parallels and look inside the box. OMG

I don’t think de-funding FOX will shutup libs about FOX News...I don't think it would either - but I don't believe Fox News receives government funding in any way comparable to what PBS receives, and so it's foolish for libs to yap about them being "defunded" - but who would expect more sense from them on that issue than any other?......
