SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): "There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."

Knocking FOX news "off the air" (actually off the cable) is not going to stop the momentum that has built in America. We don't need FOX to tell us that obama and his corrupt minions are ruing America.
In fact, the censoring of conservative news outlets and commentators will only cause the movement to grow in strength.
This country was founded, and slavery was ended without TV, Radio or even newspapers. But the message managed to get through, and it has already gotten through.
For the obama/soros coup to be like they wanted it, they started about 30 years too soon, and "misunderestimated" the American people. Neither obama or soros are true Americans; they don't have the American spirit and don't know what it is.
They have watched the fall of other nations and figure they can do it just as easily to America. They have succeeded on several fronts, but now they're getting down to the immoveable force...THE PEOPLE.

This is the mantra of the left over the last couple days. The left should put a sock in it.

Really? I think of Fox and MSNBC as partisan, because I associate them with Beck, Palin, and O’Reilly, vs. Marrow and Olbermann. Not bad per se, but more opinion than news. I’m not sure why Rockefeller has a problem with OPINIONs, but I agree they each espouse a particular POV.
To: caper gal 1
Read a few Rockefellar bios and you will find the vast majority, if not all, are flaming globalists. Certainly, he would like to shut down Fox and throw in MSNBC to show fairness to left and right--Fox with its millions of viewers and MSNBC with its dozens of viewers. Sounds like a lib idea of a trade off to me.
The truth of the matter is that Fox is NOT that far right. They are just considered so when compared to the rest of the media. Guess Rocke would like Rush to fade away, too, and all us conservatives to shut the heck up.--Ain't happening!
