During a discussion on HuffPost Live Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave a strong condemnation of what he calls the right wing media and particularly Fox News.
Its divided our country in a way that we havent been divided probably since the Civil War, Kennedy said of Fox News during the discussion focused on fracking. Its empowered large corporations to get certain kinds of politicians and ideologues who are in the United State Congress elected the Tea Party ideologues who control the Republican Party.
The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of former senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy made these claims against Fox while describing what he sees as the two biggest problems in American politics: the influence of big money and the right-wing control of the American media.
In addition to Fox News, Kennedy criticized right-wing talk radio that he describes as having a negative and large influence on whole sections of the country.
Ninety-five percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing, and you need, according to Pew survey, and youso a whole section of our country that thats what theyre hearing. They wake up in the morning, when they go to bed at night, Kennedy said.
Kennedy also claimed that Republicans are the only ones that have their own (TV) network.

Yeah, right. I guess that's why most Americans have no idea why the events at Benghazi should have ended Obama's presidency.
If only the explanation was that innocent.No,they were in the process of divorcing.If she lived long enough to see the final court decree she'd get a huge chunk of his *very* substantial inheritance.If she didn't he'd get to keep it all.Women should understand that any divorce that involves a substantial chunk of what he thinks of as *his* money puts their personal safety at great risk.
Uh, Robert. The reason talk radio has more conservative shows than liberal is because liberal shows couldn’t get enough listeners to pay the bills. That is why PBS requires government support. It isn’t that conservative shows are ‘poisoning’ minds. It’s that people listen to what they agree with. You are a typical elitist liberal who thinks that anyone who doesn’t agree with your pathetically misinformed positions is being coerced or ‘influenced’ by someone else. You have no respect for individuality and are too privileged to know or realize that there are a ton of people in the world who are smarter than the average politician, and that going to Harvard or the equivalent doesn’t in any way ensure that your positions or world view are superior to the rest of society.
RFK = Real Fn Klueless
If only Kennedy were correct instead of being just full of sh*t.
There wouldn’t be a FOX News or talk radio if millions of
us didn’t believe our POV was getting short changed.
This boy sounds like he isn’t very bright. He definitely has lost touch with reality. The right wing controls the “media”?! ROTFL!!! Yeah. Right.
Yes.
Seriously?! This guy’s nuts.
Is this on of the many heroin users that are Kennedys?
Right. And Tea Party favorite Mittens led the conservative assault against the RINOs.
LLS
Fox news is NOT ‘Right Wing’. It’s barely moderate. It’s just that in contrast to the hard-left idiots in the rest of the television media, they may seem “right wing” to a commie/liberal idiot. Like this author.
Yep
The guy’s a liar.
I'd be the last one to come to his defense but it is not his fault; I think the Kennedys are lobotomizing family members again.
Whatever he's been smoking / drinking, I want some too!
How can someone so something so totally false and not be called on it?
Liberals are really mentally ill. Seriously mentally ill.
I hate trick questions early in the morning, but I'll say yes.
Dude.
Crack is bad for you.
