Ellen Barkin lashes out at Fox News in a recent interview, accusing the network of "blatant lying."
The outspoken Barkin has a reputation for candor, whether in person or on her Twitter account, and her take on the News Corp. entity is no exception.
She tells the Los Angeles Times magazine, "Well, were experiencing divisiveness in terms of our politics. Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of...I dont know...News Corp, maybe?
"They have identified themselves with this extremist, right-wing insurgency of a partythis Tea Party. They call it a grassroots movement. Grassroots? Youre attached to the wrong ship. And that just shows you the enormousand dont misquote me here!the enormous success that has killed us in terms of Fox News."
Barkin then attacks the channel for lacking journalistic integrity, "The blatant lying that passes itself off as journalism. I dont even need to get there to go mental. Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson -- Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw -- just lying on the news? Let alone the entertainment factor -- you know, news as entertainment."

Some kind of “actress” from the 80’s, casting couch type.
Looks more like 'pushed up' to me.
I have never read such incoherent ramblings.
They have nothing to do with anything.
You beat me to the crooked mouth bit. I thought I was the only one who noticed.
Sounds like she has a crooked brain, too!
A double Viagra and a shot of Cialis would be in order.
As an old vet once told me,”Wrap a flag around her head, and f**k her for old glory.”
Looks like she was in one decent movie — Diner — almost 30 years ago. Since then, not so much.
Fox News is a tool of the left. That is all.
to be fair, that's not the best picture of her...here's a better one (snicker)
“Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of...I dont know...News Corp, maybe?”
Like, TOTALLY. Oh mah gawd and stuff! Republicans are like, grody!
Diner sucked.

But, hey, in this "Democracy", foisted upon us by Constitutional Amendment, she has a vote that means as much as mine or yours.
"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison
Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson
