Fox News isn't considered "mainstream media"?
Its owned by the same company that has put out such "quality programming" as "Married with children", "Celebrity Boxing", and "Who wants to marry a millionaire".

Give me a break.

Lets also not forget, the right to protest is exactly what those solders are fighting for. Just because we might not agree with there opinion, doesn't mean they should not be able to express it.

[ConservativeMan55]

They are not protesting anymore. They are taking up the valuable time of our police. When they start laying in the streets, and blocking traffic, its considered disturbing the peace. Ironic isn't it?????

[OldFriend]

Is that you Dan, or Connie, or Tom?

[Paulus Invictus]

You must be asleep or brain-damaged. These commie-inspired "protestors" are really protesting against the US, our economy and leaders, but not the war. Look up ANSWER and find what they are really all about.

..."quality programming" as "Married with children", "Celebrity Boxing", and "Who wants to marry a millionaire".

Hey, one outta three ain't bad (in baseball it's stardom)! MWC is my all-time favorite for low comedy. Kelly Bundy rules!

I sincerely doubt that many of our fine young men and women in the military are fighting so these protest can become destructive and violent. Stay tuned. If you examine the goals of the organizing groups you find that they want to shut down commerce, burn things, maybe bust up some stores, you know, the typical things anarchists like to do in the spring. These organizers have one thing in common. They all hate America, what it stands for, global trade, Just think back 2 years. These same organizers were having these gigantic anti-globalization demos. Ah yes this war with Iraq is made to order for the pros. The one thing they have always been able to do is assemble a bunch of "useful idiots", now they have the internet to help them. THEY ARE NOT ANTI-WAR, THEY ARE ANTI-AMERICA PERIOD!

Are you sure about that? I mean REALLY sure???

You may be able to find an isolated example here or there, but you have to admit that the overwhelming majority of posters here at FR support free speech and do not advocate the supression of the right to protest. All we are advocating is that the protesters be accurately portrayed by the media outlets. It is obvious to anybody who has access to the internet that A.N.S.W.E.R. is a Communist front group. Why shouldn't this information be included whenever A.N.S.W.E.R. organizes a protest?

Good grief! We all know they have a right to their "opinion", and we have the right, as does Fox, to MOCK it.

Second, it really is presented by mainstream media (ask the other networks if they consider Fox "mainstream") as "spontaneous" and about "peace" when it is in fact anti-American and communist in origin.

Lets also not forget that we are all in this war together. Even if you aren't on an Iraqi battlefield, 911 has taught us that the battlefield is in our own cities.

This campaign has at least two fronts against Saddam. The military action in iraq is one, the other is the political or "world opinion" (if there really is such a thing). It's true what GW said last year, "You're either for us, or you're for our enemies". In protesting like this, these people have exposed which side they are on.

How does it feel to realize you are being duped into fighting for a brutal dictator who tortures and kills his own people?

[lawdude]

"Give me a break"

Do you really have a problem understanding reality? That is like saying Ford isn't a "real" car manufacturer because they put out the Edsel!

[Notwithstanding]

....and just because they have a right to express their vies does not mean others can't point out how silly and dubious their words and actions are.

Yes, Fox, and FR, and me and you can criticize the words and actions of others who are expressing themselves - its called "free speech".

[DeathfromBelow]

So you are saying that you are a communist anarchist sympathizer. Organizations that have a primary goal of overthrowing this government.

[ArrogantBustard]

Just because we might not agree with there opinion, doesn't mean they should not be able to express it.

Just because they're sponsored by communists and anarchists doesn't mean FNC should not be able to expose it.

The Truth will make you free...

[mabelkitty]

Oh please. FOX News has 2.5 TIMES more viewers then the next channel - cable and network. Programming is also stealing from networks.

If you have a beef with the programming, take it up with the American public.

As for the protesters, they can protest all they want.

However, why should they get press and publicity? It isn't a story so much as a fable.

If they disrupt Wall Street, they should be indicted as terrorists and then charged with threats to our national security, interfering in inter-state commerce, etc.

[Stopislamnow]

Married with Children isn't quality programming?

WTF?

[Trust but Verify]

What 'opinion' is being expressed by laying in traffic? The "I'm so stupid someone told me to play in traffic, so here I am" opinion?

What makes me wretch about these people is they talk about how paying for the war is taking funds away from state and local government at the same time they are draining these resources with their stupidity.

Oh, and "Survivor" and "Fear Factor" are so wonderful?

Puleease...

I don't see people bring up how CBS and Sixty Minutes rigged a test to make a pick up truck appear to have a faulty fuel tank.

Or how the same wonderful bastion of professionalism hired a voice mimic to "interpret" for Saddam in his recent interview.

I agree that everyone has the right to protest, but when those protests are organized by groups that hate America and the values America stands for, we have the right to expose them.

[Attillathehon]

Just because we might not agree with there opinion, doesn't mean they should not be able to express it.

They can express their opinion by writing a letter to their congress person or to The New York Times. They don't have to screw up traffic all over New York and keep people like me from getting to work on time. (Well, that's what I told my boss.) Not to mention the cost to NYC taxpayers and the distraction that endangers lives.

Lets also not forget, YOUR rights end where MINE begin!
(Example) My right to come & go as I please...doesn't mean you can stop me from driving down a street because you want to act like a child & "die" in my way.
