My father in law is a very wise man. I remember him telling me years ago, before Fox...that all he wanted was HONESTY in his media. He didn’t seek a biased slant in our favor..... Only a fair shake.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Fox...but if they forget who sent them to the top and turn on us....we are duty bound by our convictions to abandon them.
I hope my wonderful father in law lives to see the day when we truly get a fair shake..I hope we all live to see that day...because we win every time when we are allowed to play on the battlefield of ideas.
I talked with my 85 yr old mother tonight...she was t\watching the convention...on FAUX...I told her to put on C-Span because there are “no commercials and no commentators to tell you what you think you heard”!
I have not watched Network news since David Brinkley died!
tHEY all STINK...and Faux news is rapidly sinking into the same gutter as CNN et al!
Uh, Fox has abandoned conservatives already. They backed Romney hardcore, shredded his opponents every chance they got, officially banned Gingrich from ever appearing on the channel again, and now booted Palin off for the night no doubt because she tried to hold the GOP's feet to the conservative fire. I think she'll be fully exiled like Newt if Romney wins the election. They need her as a weapon to use against Obama if he wins, but once Romney wins, they don't want her or any conservative exercising any power over the agenda. Fox is GOP TV, plain and simple. Wasn't so bothersome 10 years ago when them bringing on a series of goofy, untelegenic libs to allow them to lose debates and make fools of themselves was a refreshing change of pace. But the GOPs new-ish plan is to move to the "center," thinking they can expand their voting base and their power. Succeeding at that requires destroying real conservatives and the Tea Party. Sources like Fox and the Drudge Report are powerful and willing allies to the GOP in that war against conservatism.
