I take it that your only goal is to suppress discussion.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Are you some kind of nut? Silly me, you are just another typical liberal lefty demonRAT out trolling.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

"What's your goal?" For some, (present company excepted of course) it is to punch your lights out.

[UnBlinkingEye]

Are you some kind of a nut? Do you believe whatever the Republicrats tell you? How about that whopper, they haven't spent the Social Security trust fund?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

"This is what I don't understand. The present DirecTV viewers, of which I am one,
already have Fox News available. How would Newscorp owning DirecTV make
a cable company put Fox on their system if it's not there now? And how will Fox
owning DirecTV smash a cable company that didn't? IOW what difference does
it make who owns DirecTV if Fox is already on it?"


A great many cable shows are carried on Direct TV, but few cable companies allow Fox coverage. Now if Fox owns Direct TV and then if ...., I think you now begin to get the picture.

Bob, our government lies to us all the time and FOX is repeating false statements issued by the government as truth. Do you view government as God, a bastion of truth?

What gov't? Local? State? Federal? If whatever one you are referring to "lies all the time" please give some examples of such lies, by whom and when. Then who on Fox repeated the "gov't" lies and when.

You asked "do you view government as God, a bastion of truth?" Why ask such a question?

[gcruse]

I'm surprised they would admit that, but nothing else makes sense. Thanks.

I do not watch the Fox Channel...and I've never watch the Idol or the Millionaire; but the News Channel is always on. From room to room; except where Dora the Explorer or Blues Clues might be on. Brit is the best....except for Tony Snow.

Gulf war one, we through our ambassador sanctioned the attack, then we demanded withdrawal. We lied about incubators and war crimes.

Yugoslavia, we lied about genocide and laid waste to people that had never attacked us.

Gulf War Two, we lied about massive stockpiles of WMD's, we lied about genocide and laid waste to people that had never attacked us.

Cool, Huh?

I'm surprised you are uniformed. We were told that massive threats to our nation from Iraqs WMD were the reason for our pre-emptive attack. Please bear in mind that they have never attacked us and we supported them in their war with Iran. Note that we have found no so-called WMDs. Our justification is groundless God Forgive Us.

Not if I expected my questions to be answered.

LOL! Nevermind! Forget I asked.

[big time major leaguer]

I'd like to see Fox go head to head against Rather/Brokaw/Jennings with a newscast to be carried by Fox broadcast network affiliates.

Maybe a two headed anchor - Brit for Gravitas, Shep for Fox Attitude?

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...T'was Friend of HILLARY...

...Energy Secretary BILL RICHARDSON...

...who knowinly authorized the Fires around Los Alamos during its yearly windy season...

...after representing Los Alamos in Congress for 11 years.

...T'was also BILL RICHARDSON that Friend of HILLARY Communist North Korea sent Rep's to see as it cranked up its NUKE Trouble with us to try and divert BUSH from brining Freedom to Iraq.

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.

Okay...here's a news flash for you. There is NO "trust fund". This is the same crap Al Bore tried in 2000. I wish there WAS a social security "trust fund". And there's no "lock box" either. Everyone thinks that when the S.S. $$$ comes out of their checks it goes into their own little account in S.S.. It doesn't. It goes into the General Fund. If I could fix S.S. I would make it so that the $$$ that comes out of your check does go into your own "trust fund" or whatever quaint little phrases the Marxists in the 'RAT Party and their willing accomplices at CNNABCNBCCBSPBS are using nowadays. Hell, I'd rather keep 100% of that money coming out of my paycheck that goes to Social Security and invest it myself. I bust my chops for it and it's my Dang money! Geez, I get so mad at frickin' Marxist Liberals!

[UnBlinkingEye]

Thanks for making my point. The Republicrats have been lying to us all, why support them?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[smith288]

Gee, im convinced...What moron wouldnt switch to the other party after your fabulous argument?!?! You forgot your "Bush = hitler" sign...

[savagesusie]

I quit cable also for the same reason. Will get direct tv also just to watch Fox News....

I understand your apparent hatred for Fox news, what I don't understand, is why they bother you so. There are numerious news networks, granted they are the opposite of Fox, and all have the same view point, but they out number Fox. As for Brit Hume, I'm not sure how you define what being a journalist as, if you use the dictionary defination, he qualifies, that and the fact that many of his own personal political beliefs are, in fact unknown. Now, you do hate the republican party, alot of democrats do. However, given a choice between the 2, I'd rather take the repubs, if you believed they have lied, that is your belief, but bear in mind, no one in this administration, will ever be indicted (impeached) for perjury.
