It’s time — high time — to take Fox News’s destructive role in America seriously (Wash Post)

Stop watching [Fox] for two weeks...

Actually, I hardly watch them. Between FR and miscellaneous you tubes and such I hardly have any need for them... once you begin to see the questions they don't ask...

And really, the whole "fair and balanced" act grinds on my nerves, it usually means them bringing on exactly the people I don't want to listen to, or playing clips from the other news stations that I really don't want to hear. I don't want "fair and balanced", I just want honest and curious... most news people are not honest and not particularly curious.

If I had a dog with a face like that, I’d shave its tail and make it walk backward

From M*A*S*H, right?

Someone should hand WaPo Peggy here her teeth in a snack Baggie.

The DNC: such das Partei dem Deutsche Nazionalistiche Kommunistische.

Well they can’t seem to attract enough viewers to beat the competition in ratings so they want to have them censored.

Sore losers

I have always maintained that it is legitimate to question the Constitutional qualifications of any presidential candidate. When the concerns about Obama's citizenship were first raised, what did he do? Did he say "You have every right to see my credentials"? Did he direct his campaign to produce certified documents for respected analysts? No. He foot dragged and called those who asked for the proof, racists. It took him what? Three years into his presidency to produce questionable results online.

Citizens have a right to answers to the questions about his legitimacy. No racism to it. And the fact that imbeciles like Sullivan still carry Obama's water disqualifies her objectivity out of hand.

...Fox News’s destructive role in America....

I guess your perspective depends on what you're trying to create and what you're trying to destroy.

Yes. It should have taken Obama 10 minutes to produce a birth certificate. His excuses were on par with the dog ate my homework.

Then there is Michelle in Kenya before the election telling all the journalists and his grandma to shut up. Made my ears perk up.

Then Obama threw a blanket of secrecy over his records followed by a vicious campaign to silence and ostracized birthers as crazy. I knew Obama had something threatening to hide.

Obama wasn’t born in America and was not eligible to occupy oval office. Biggest crime in American history.

OMG is that her? Alky-hol does its damnedest...
