Klein: Fox's 'hateful crap' borders on 'sedition'

For a fascinating glimpse into the seething and completely unhinged liberal mind check out Joe Klein’s dark and disturbing rant over at Time Magazine. The first line of the piece reads:

"Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue."

Although Klein’s vitriol is off the charts it pales in comparison to what can only be described as his unseemly boot licking. Here’s an example:

"If the problem is that stories bloated far beyond their actual importance -- ACORN's corruption, Van Jones's radical past -- are in danger of leaching out of the Fox hothouse into the general media, then perhaps the Administration should be a bit more diligent about whom it hires and whom it funds."

When a writer worries about stories “in danger of leaching out” he or she can best be described as a storm trooper, not a journalist.

I found this post quite amusing:

"Fox and it's narcissistic talk show hosts have seized upon this fact and by blurring the line between news and opinion have created an almost “cult like” following of loyal fearful followers.

NBC should be barred from any reporting about the financial crisis and upon any action or statement from the obama administration. NBC’s parent, GE has had its subsidiary, GE Capital’s debts guaranteed by the government. NBC cannot be counted on to fairly report.

Liberals regard all contrary opinion as ‘hateful’. Why is that? Is it because the liberal agenda (e.g., socialism, collectivism, etc.) is so near and dear to them, so closely and personally held, that it’s the equivalent of telling them their children are ugly?

Although Klein’s vitriol is off the charts ...

Given the chance, I suspect they would start the executions today.

This is not going to end well ...

I think you are very accurate in your assessment.

Moreover, I think the lefties who admire Che Guevara know all about his sadistic firing squad activities. They think they were completely appropriate and necessary for the “revolution.” Just like Ayers’ 25 million dead.

It’s their equivalent of a religion.

To them, attacking leftism is as “hateful” as the Danish Muhammad cartoons are to Muslims.

The only place I see it anymore is in doctors’ offices.

Probably the magazine’s biggest subscribers.

"Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue."
Yet he can't manage a single example?
A good reporter would be able to do so to give credence to their statement.
Oh, that's right, Klein is a senior writer sycophant, not a reporter.

The liberal fascists are worried about their Messiah messing up. They are running scared. Klein is typical of the panic that is beginning to set in.

It's the Joe Klein's that are what's wrong with this world. Their selective 'truths' and unfettered biased reporting is just plain willfully ignorant.

Until people like Klein are willing to accept the truth and honestly deal with reality they will remain hampered by trumped up indignancy.

Many people are beginning to realize reporters and their gov't reps are FOS! I don't think there will ever be a mass exodus from this type of evil deceptive reporting, but if people are convinced TRUTH/REALITY matter, then standards will come back.

Guess why Treason and Sedition have been reduced to dead, quaint historical concepts, Mr. Klein.
It's a few generations of political imbeciles like you who made it possible.
Enjoy.

Or be careful what you wish for!

HMMM last Ilooked we still had freedom of speech which allowed all of you for the last 8 years to accuse Bush of lying, you avocated freely his assaination, threw every inbsult towards anyone involved in that adminstartion and that was fine but now it is sedation? Liberism truly is a mental disorder.

And .. this has only helped Fox’s numbers - and I’ve heard Fox has acquired millions more viewers.

Rahm’s plan was an Ooops for the admin .. but has turned out good for more Americans who may never have tuned into Fox before.

Joe Klein is a socialist traitor. How’s that? Didn’t come from Fox either.
