"That right there IS a trend that has to be reversed, otherwise the media will literally be nothing other than a democrat party mouthpiece. "

Knowing this guy's history, I don't think that's how he means it. I think he means...

- "The only reason the Dems lost the mid-term elections is because the people are stupid, and the reason the people are stupid is because of Fox News Channel. We have to shut them down and make sure only "real" news gets reported to the great unwashed masses."

That's what he means.

I have to agree with your assessment! LOL

We have to shut them [Fox] down and make sure only "real" news gets reported to the great unwashed masses."

Yep, that's exactly what he's saying. I've observed a clearly coordinated attack on Fox over a long period, and it's currently rising to fever pitch. It's taken on very worrisome overtones of outright government control of broadcast content. Howard Dean joined the party in his rant earlier in the week. When the FCC itself starts saying this stuff it's very serious indeed.
