Mr. Propaganda is trying to transfer his traits to FOX. It is an old psychological trick to avoid personal responsibility for bad things.

The Left is sooooo predictable. Next, the dope smokers at Rolling Stone will trot out the evil Koch brothers who will rule the world if you don’t vote for Obama next year.

Nevermind that the Left’s propaganda machine cranks out its scare stories on every news outlet except Fox and in the vast majority of newspapers and magazines. And that a truly evil man named Soros does want to take over the world through manipulating its finances.

It is the same tired song we hear every election cycle. Remember Richard Melon Scaife?

Remember a year or so ago when one of Obaama's advisors (I guess Cass Sunstein) said they had to discredit Fox News?

This is part of it.

Cheers!

LOL! The leftists hate it now that they’re completely discredited before they can even open their mouths to lie.

I can’t think of a conservative democrat.

Ponder the phrase "good commie".

“Rolling Stone” feels the need to do a hit piece of Fox News.

Fox News feels no need to do a hit piece on “Rolling Stone” - assuming that is that Fox has anything more than a passing awareness of their existence.

Any guesses as to which of the two really matters?

LMAO at these 0bama Demonrat propaganda machines calling out Fox for what it claims is propaganda. Yeah, like reporting unfavorable stuff to 0bama and the Demonrat party that the other media is too busy covering up and focusing on how great he is. They have no case and no credibility and I look forward on more hit pieces to come of Palin from the ‘fair and balanced’ be all, end all of ‘news’ Rolling Stone. What a joke.

As if the “Rolling Stone” is some sort of credible and objective ‘news’ magazine. The stone’s articles essentially are puff pieces on morally dead musicians who can barely render a reason.

I heard Charles K on FOX the other day saying that Roger Ailes founded FOX News looking for a niche market and he found one.

It turns out that it was over 50% of the American population.

Fear factory? Yeah, sure. The Left feels this way because they don’t sell their unicorn and lollipop version of the world. In their world. Christians & Jews are bad; secularists and Muslims are good. Capitalists are evil, greedy people who are preventing the Government from creating jobs. Up is down, white is black. And, of course, he probably doesn’t even touch on the liberal bias of the rest of the Media. Fox News is an island (albeit a large one) in a liberal media sea.

The Left IS scary because 'truth' is irrelevant - just as it is in this RS 'analysis' - to their goals and they ARE a threat; that makes the truth more than a bit scary as well.

The socialist Left; the 'Nazi' inspired and Islamists; drink from the same well; and one only has to note their 'ways and means' to see parallels, embedded in their MO's; from the more innocuous to the most heinous of responses.

Truth does bring a fear - or should - when your enemy is an alien to 'moral reason' and with that, rejects any and all, moral rules of engagement.

The leftist Democrat talking point is that Fox News promotes “fear”.

Ailes made CNBC a success

If not for Nixon there would most likely be no Israel

If not for FNC there would be no one tell the truth about anything.

The poor Dems. There’s one news network that doesn’t parrot their line, and they spend their time being upset about it. Sucks to be them.
