It's actually a pretty good source for news, if a bit indirect. All you have to do is just watch FOX, and then assume that the exact opposite is true.

My only problem with Fox News is that it goes too soft on Obama.

They go too soft on everyone, except Bill Clinton, come on the dude is a guy, so what he received a blow job from some ugly fat hog that probably begged for the day to come when someone, anyone, would give her some attention. That guy did her a favor and most likely made her day with some protein, also he put US in a surplus of 1 trillion USD and US best living standards in history etc. But nooo he lied about getting a fracking blowjobRoll

I remember a particular Fox News documentary that left me litteraly speechless. The commentator took a few theme words from obama's speechs, like for example Security, and with only the first letter of each word, then formed the word SOCIALIST, and started to depict that as Obama's hidden agenda.

I was stunned by the implicit insult toward the average US resident this little word manipulation represented. Just what kind of fool would believe this crap?

It's reminiscent of good old numerology: http://www.merriampark.com/numbeast.htm Just proves that appealing to the Stupid isn't new.

Quote:
Attempts have been made to identify particular Popes (rather than the Pope in general) with the Beast. Michael Stifel (1487-1567, better known for introducing modern symbols for addition, subtraction, and square root) proved that Pope Leo X (lived 1475-1521, Pope 1513-1521) was the Beast by means of the following calculation, as described by Howard Eves, An Introduction to the History of Mathematics (NY: Rinehart, 1953), p. 217:

From LEO DECIMVS he retained the letters LDCIMV. He then added X, for Leo X, and omitted the M, because it stood for mystery. A rearrangement of the letters gave DCLXVI, 666, or the "number of the beast".

They should have spelled out MARXIST, but Obama probably didn't say anything that started with X.

I noticed a funny thing recently. Discussing news sources in a media class. Many uber liberal types now like to say they watch/read al jezeera. Because it's so progressive and worldly. However every single person from the middle east in every class I've had that brings this issue up loathes that station because often times it's censored or partially run by the government.

I suppose the grass is always greener. Really people need to diversify their news sources. It's not the job of the news to agree with you or give you an opinion. Should just state the facts, and you have to use your own brain to interpret it.

You know, I would love to see a REAL marxist/socialist/whatever president, not a spineless center-right empty suit like Obama. Not because I actually like marxism, but because the tears from people like you would be so beautiful.

The general rule out there is watch/listen the BBC. Gotta admit, when you hear the words "This is the BBC, and now for the news at 00:00 GMT" in that very british voice with big ben chiming you just trust them to be getting it right.

If it's tears you like, you're in luck! Marxism is the most efficient system of distributing human misery ever created.

That would be why I'm not a Marxist. I just hate people like you who think Obama is a Marxist/socialist/whatever*, and I want to watch from a safe distance as you experience what REAL Marxism is. Extreme stupidity deserves extreme punishment, after all.



*Hint for the clueless: he's not. By the standards of anyone who isn't a raving nutcase conservative, Obama is a center-right career politician with no real ideology beyond "get elected".

Two problems with that statement:
a) Marxism doesn't exist in the real world. Name one country where the working class has all the power.

b) Capitalism is much more efficient. Look at the British Empire and colonialism. Or the US's history with banana republics. Never underestimate the efficiency of capitalism. Raw capitalism only appears friendly because a capitalistic society needs to keep its own citizens happy. What you don't see is the abuse going on off-shore. Meaning, Wal-Mart prices are great for US citizens if you ignore where the products are made and the working conditions in those countries.

Listening to Fox News for extended periods of time has a habit of turning your brain into slush and making it pour out of your ears. When on a cable network you call the Muppets communists, and so on and so forth, you begin to lose a lot of credit to your name.

Two kinds of media, two kinds of zombies.

CNN: zombies who like the welfare state.
FOX: zombies who like the warfare state.


CNN: Socialism.
FOX: Nationalism.


Remember what happened last time someone got a nation to get behind National Socialism?

No need to remember, the refresher is happening right now.

That argument is stupid. History is full of dictators from every kind of governement, and tyranny and socialism/capitalism/comunism/whatever are NOT related.

There are a lot of haters who will believe anything, they just want to feed the hate.
