Keeping up with The Megyn:
Like the government the fawning media of the day tries so hard to emulate, mainstream media has now given itself authority over the massesincluding aspiring Republican presidential hopefulsto which it has no right.
Fox News, which came onto the media world as providers of the fair and balanced news, are now coming on just like Obama, having proved before 24 million viewers, its now going to be their way or the highway.
Until We the People find a legal way to get around their destructive polices, they have to put up with Big Government in office.
But the mainstream media known as Americas number one cable television network wasnt voted in and can be sent packing by people merely changing the channel.

Not that Rupert Murdoch is some right-wing wacko himself. But, apparently, he put profit ahead of ideology. The sons? Hu knows. I'm guessing they're are Leftists first.
Prince Alwaleeds uncle, King Abdullah, actually rules Saudi Arabia under Sharia law. Prince Alwaleed, who is reported to enjoy a close personal relationship with Murdoch, has become so enamored of Murdochs media success that he is starting his own 24 hour news station, a venture dubbed the Arabic FOX News

Up Yours, Faux News.
Fox News simply can not be trusted!
My time with faux news has dwindled over the years to where it was only a couple of hours per week, at the most.
Meghan has cut that to zero.
I’ll very likely shun FOX Sports as well.
They should have listened to a quote from (I think) Frank Sinatra: ‘If you think your customers aren’t important, just try doing business without them.’.
Former UK Prime Minister John Major says Rupert Murdoch tried to change government policy
(AP) LONDON - Former British Prime Minister John Major said Tuesday that Rupert Murdoch tried to influence his government’s dealings with the European Union, even hinting that the politician could lose the support of the media mogul’s newspapers if he didn’t change direction.
Major was testifying before Britain’s inquiry into media ethics, which was set up after it emerged that reporters at a major Murdoch tabloid had hacked into the voicemails of people in the news.
The scandal has since mushroomed, engulfing political leaders criticized as having too-cozy links with the media tycoon.

Tony Blair: I ducked fight with U.K. media
U.K. TV host: Piers Morgan told me how to hack
Cameron, ex-PMs to testify in U.K. hacking probe
Major, the Conservative Party premier from 1990 to 1997, said Murdoch had made his views clear at a private dinner in February 1997, three months before the general election.
The ex-premier said Murdoch had not directly told Major to change his policies, but “made it clear that he disliked my European policies which he wished me to change. “
Murdoch said his newspapers would not support the Conservative government unless it changed direction, Major said
“So far as I recall he made no mention of editorial independence but referred to all his papers as `we,”’ Major added.
Major’s term in office was dominated by Europe the British pound crashed out of a European currency exchange rate setting mechanism in 1992, and Major frequently had to fight his own party over how involved Britain should be with the European Union.
Shortly after the dinner, Murdoch’s two main newspapers, News of the World and The Sun, backed Tony Blair’s Labour party in the 1997 general election, which ended Major’s rule.
Leveson Inquiry witness list: week of June 11
Blair and his successor Gordon Brown have also testified at the inquiry about their relationship with Murdoch’s empire. Brown said Monday that Murdoch’s papers had undermined the British war effort in Afghanistan.
The phone-hacking scandal that began with revelations about Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World has triggered three police investigations that have resulted in more than 40 arrests.
I’m starting to feel sorry for many of our nation’s billionaires, the ones who have sense, not the ones with daddy issues. Look at all the silly b.s. they have to put up with.
Does this sound familiar? Like what they were trying to do with Trump Thursday night...get rid of him...
Fox News. Now the same as the rest of them. Haven’t watched any, ANY network TV channels in the past five or six years. I only get it from from the Net these days. No TV. No newspapers. They are all crap.
Trump is like a bull in the Fox China Shop, he keeps busting all their stuff and they keep trying to clean it up.
Trump...Trump...TRUMP...TRUMP!
I used to like Rick Perry. I also used to like Fox News.
Kelly showed her true Colors on the debate and her colors are all trashy. She isn’t worth the Cost of Electricity to put her show on.
Fox should be ashamed of her leftist Antics.
Fox fully supports her. Boycott Fox!
I thought she had a good thing going for about the first year. I didn’t like the feeling that it was preordained that she’s supposed to be the end-all and be-all of journalistic integrity. The producers don’t care that some of their viewership aren’t affected by assertions and the power of suggestion.
The theme of reality TV here is exactly correct.
A large part of its appeal is watching people being snarky to each other, and a large part of it is that the viewer can feel morally superior to the cat fights and humbling experiences witnessed.
Trump on this debate was a winner on all sides of reality TV. This will be the first entirely Kardashian presidential campaign.
Next on Faux News at nine, “The Jerry Springer Show,” with all the BS we can find. Guaranteed to provide more Inside Beltway BS then can be found anywhere else. Our hosts headed by the the airhead Megyn Kelly and supported by our esteemed (I got the job by birthright), Chris Wallace and as a supporting cast with whats-his-name from some report show. Jerry will step in occasionally if the show becomes too factual. Tune in soon.
Fox is the cleanest dirty shirt out of all of them.
I quit watching what’s her name a long time ago. She is just like the rest of the alphabet soup nutjobs out to make a name for herself by taking down a republican.
Sometimes images explain a point sometimes they don’t don’t and sometimes words are necessary.
I’m sure other FReepers understand what your video implies but I am mystified...probably just a senior moment.
[Trump...Trump...TRUMP...TRUMP!]
How could I have missed that when his mouth is clearly saying Trump...Trump...TRUMP...TRUMP.
