Media Matters president Burns: Fox News "a 24/7 political operation"

[reallysecretusername]

msnbc=GE=Obama administration.

[vincentkjones1]

Anita Dunn said Mao Tse-tung was one of two of her "favorite political philosophers" in a speech (Mother Teresa and... Mao Tse Tung). Obummer Appointees are almost all Marxist, Socialists or anti capitalists. Keith Overbite's "Count Down to no Ratings" show is really just a comedy skit on news TV. Anyone who thinks otherwise must not know anything about Mr Overbite. The USA has a choice of whether it will go back to a free market, free country and repeal the obamanation that is now being created

[vincentkjones1]

Or it can continue down the road to complete idiocy and socialism that the treasonous administration is now dragging it down, against the majorities wishes.

[jensen1901]

dumbass cons. watch the video above and learn.

[olgrunt1]

FOX will be there when these non rated stations are gone fool

[jensen1901]

Have you paid attention to the news this week? Sean Hannity was caught falsifying footage to try and make it seem like Michelle Bachmann got more people to her rally than she really did. Just another week in the life & times of Fox "news" where they distort, deceive and LIE. They got caught big time by John Stewart. I have no doubt that Fox will still be around. There will never be a shortage of retards in America who don't care about the truth. Luckily, most voters DO care about facts.

[olgrunt1]

you will see next election I know you type with one hand you are holding your pants up with the other

[steeev11]

Opening the border?? Trannies at schools?? Communism?? These buzz words are the kind of propaganda and misinfo that is damaging civil discourse. Just because you didn't vote for the man doesn't the whole "USA as you know it" is coming to and end. It makes you sound stupid.

[steeev11]

And you are a moronic bigot. People like you cannot listen to anything that is contrary to your beliefs. What you need to do is realize that there are other people in this world other than you are your bigoted folks. This country is getting more liberal because that is the way of the rational mind. Try and act like a human being and you will be treated like one. Not everything is for profit or for ratings. You and your ilk are the reason why we are hated 'round the world despite our generosity.

[steeev11]

This directed as JewWreckNations

[blockthis08]

1:27 lol...that's so true.

[altheatremaine]

I think both sides of the spectrum are guilty of skewing news. However, FOX shouldn't be able to call themselves news. They are straw man/ad hominem extraordinaires.

[axemarlboro]

i'm a canadian, watch any of our news stations for 10 minutes, then Fox news for 10 minutes, and you'll puke in your mouth at what a disgusting difference there is. Canadian news isn't bias, there is zero opinions expressed by newscasters, just state the facts and the news, pretty simple. Mind Boggling to watch Fox news, ridiculous, sad, pathetic, insane... or is that the people who like it?

[TithonusSyndrome]

It'll be over soon enough anyways. If America keeps letting this insane movement of hyper-capitalist underachievers have their way and not do anything to stop them, the country will be in shambles and the people at Immigrations Canada will be a LOT busier.

[FistfulofDicks]

I heard Fox News has a program that pays parents to beat their children, so when the children grow up they have mental health issues and turn to religious and conservative propaganda as a sort of therapy.

[StoogeWatcher]

I heard that MSNBC and CNN pay to brainwash kids with lies and idiocy. For instance, they'll tell kids that Obama has the most transparent administration in history and Pelosi has the most open and ethical Congress ever.

[thisisntme]

I also heard that StoogeWatcher likes little boys. Is that true foxtroll?

[StoogeWatcher]

Nope, that's you Democrats. You think pedophilia is protected by the Constitution and that NAMBLA is a civil rights organization. You also oppose Jessica's Law.

[thisisntme]

Who was that was having hitting on underage pages again? Mark Foley, republican.

[StoogeWatcher]

Who was elected to seven additional terms after he was caught having sex witha 16-year-old? Gerry Studds, DEMOCRAT!

[StoogeWatcher]

If Fox is the arm of the GOP, then CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC are the tentacles of the DNC. And Obama supporters are crybabies who want to get rid of a news network they don't like, much like Chavez did to RCTV.

[Jenaro1234]

Who likes irresponsible news networks

[StoogeWatcher]

What do CNN and MSNBC know about responsibility, especially since they were caught recently using fake quotes?

[thisisntme]

blahblahblahblah, wingnuts like you need to come up with something because you people have no credibility.

[StoogeWatcher]

What do you Democrats know about credibility? You're the ones who support a tax cheat writing the tax code, CBS fake documents, Duke lacrosse rape hoax, and phony quotes on CNN and MSNBC?

[thisisntme]

So you believe Shammity's baseless accusations of Kevin Jennings? Or Beckerwood's CONspiracy theories about concentration camps? Or Fux and Friends story about Obama being born in a Madrassa? Apparently you do, and let me guess, you're waiting for Obama's birth certificate too right?

[StoogeWatcher]

Do you still believe lying whore Crystal Mangum? How will Olbermann worship black supremacist Al Sharpton? And why do the same liberals who whine about bailouts have no problem with MSNBC getting one? Let me guess, you still blame America for 9/11, right?

[roonalwazlib]

I salute the worshipers of the all powerful George Soros. You're douche bags but at least you know you're douche bags. Now go back to lapping up those political turds Obama and his master Soros have been dropping for you.

[thisisntme]

Did Beck tell you to say that?

[StoogeWatcher]

How much is George Soros paying you to spread his agenda?

[thisisntme]

Did Rash Limpballs tell you to say that? Or was it Fux News?

[StoogeWatcher]

How are things at SeeB.S.?

[bankerdenton]

hope you can check out youtube videos "when the future falls" search marty denton

[michiganbball]

Media Matters? ROFLMAO! A bunch of unwashed stupid Liberals supported by a loser George Soros, the Hungarian Jew hater. Democrats make me sick. See you at the polls.

[illyounotme]

**laughs at all the silly neocon repressed reality deniers that are freaking out that there lie machine Faux has been publicly called out**

It is so very funny how many Faux fools are posting over & over on this video. It seems they fear the truth of their propaganda machine for the neocon political machine becoming common knowledge. Seems the idea that the slogan "Fair & Balanced" is not so true & needs to be changed to "Fairly Unbalanced" to remain realistic.

[illyounotme]

Of course all that these silly Faux fools are doing is upping the views, & the comment counts. So keep complaining you Faux fools. Keep making this video higher on the charts so more people will see how ridiculous your Faux is.

[815Sox]

Also Heisenberg, should you be pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps or some shit like that? Go do something productive instead of posting five threads in a video that obviously gets your panties in a bunch.

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

HHAHA

I don't wear panties. I wear a codpiece. LOL

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

In defense of my homophobia let me just say this.

A homosexual without the sex associated with it is not a homosexual. By definition. One who demands recognition, and tolerance for that which heterosexuals and most religions find intolerable is just stupid. Do something that commands respect, not tolerance.

Since homosexuals demand tolerance for their intolerable sexual practises, that means they are talking about having sex with a member of the same sex. Sex seems to dominate the thought proces

[davidray74]

OMFG...I cannot believe what I just heard...they're trying to "quarantine" Fox news??? Unbelievable!!! I would even be completely, and utterly shocked if they were talking about "quarantining" the New York times of MSNBC...First amendment rights apply to everyone, not just liberals...

[Banghouse]

Do us a favor and shut up.

You sound stupid.

[Tsanuri]

@ davidray74 - Fox have the right to say what they want. However they package opinion journalism as factual news - that is intellectual dishonesty and an abuse of trust.

What Fox does in the US would be illegal in every other westernized county except Italy - the same Italy who would fail to gain EU membership if they had to reapply tomorrow due to the media/political party integration.

Those seeing Fox and its repugnant "un-American" tactics are also free to campaign against them.

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

Speech should not be protected?

You agree with those countries who limit speech?

Countries like Chavez' Venezuela?

[10kensea79]

MSNBC is to the Democrats what FOX is to the Republicans. It's rediculous if you take a step back and look at it. Especially when you see them both pointing fingers at one another, each accusing the other of what they themselves are guilty of.

[jeffmagic32]

The White House is using taxpayer dollars to fund this crusade against Fox News.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

I wonder if as Commander in Chief of our military, if Obama can be court martialed for dereliction of duty?

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Taking a page from the Hugo Chavez playbook, the US government is using the power bestowed upon it to come down on a private enterprise. Using my taxes, and your taxes, to denigrate a dissenting voice, in violation of of many constitutional guarantees. Get rid of this guy before he nationalizes everything. Obama has to go.

[iwiwla22]

Man, where the hell were you when Bush basically used the Constitution for toilet paper. Did you take to the streets then?

[NotEasilyRegimented]

I dropped away from Bush in 2006. He became too liberal for me. He adopted too many liberal spending policies and social programs for me. No one was in the streets then. Had they been, on certain issues, I would have been on the streets with them. Not for homosexuals though. Never for homosexuals. We need to send all environmentalists and homosexuals to Canada where they can be happy.

[iwiwla22]

HAHAHAH!

You definitely win today's deluded, narcissistic troll award.

Congrats!

[HandThatFeedsYou]

I think you're a homosexual. Homophobia is the first sign.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Let's see. I can remember two stand up comedy

routines from the pre-political correctness past to answer that HandThatFeedsYou

Shecky Greene, in Vegas at the Trop:

When I was young, I was very pretty. I used to worry that I could grow up and be queer. So, I tried it, 5 or 6 times. Didn't like it once, so, I KNOW I'm not queer.

Richard Pryor @ the Cow Palace in SF. "I sucked. It was beautiful. But, I couldn't handle it, so I went home and didn't tell nobody about it."

[815Sox]

NotEasilyRegimented you must be the life of the party.

By the way, you just regimented two populations (Homosexuals and Environmentalists)

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

815Sox

Are you one of those who cannot enter a conversation without mentioning that everyone is a racist, sexist, bigot , homophobe? HA HA HA HA

[815Sox]

Heisenberg

No I am not. I cannot ignore irony though. HA HA HA HA

Also your defense of your homophobia is idiotic. You are basically saying we should be tolerant of your intolerance. "Do something that demands respect?" What the fuck are you going on about?

The government should stay out of peoples bedroom. Unless of course you want the government to dictate every single aspect of our personal lives.

See two can play at that game asshole.

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

Homosexuals and environmentalists are just one population. Two peas in a pod.

[illyounotme]

@NotEasilyRegimented

Well you better not be Republican if you hate homosexuals so much since the Republican party is filled with them. There is a gay sex scandal over & over in the GOP. Seems there is more gays in the GOP than straight people. To be fair the Dem's have sex scandals also but with women. So I guess we can solve all our problems as the neocon's all leave the US with your plan. Thanks for helping out.

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

I didn't say I hate gays. I said we should send them all to Canada, along with environmentalists. They could be happy there.

Demanding tolerance for intolerable behavior from those who find homosexuality intolerable is just stupid. Isn't it?

Respect but don't tolerate.

Do you know the difference?

What is it about homosexual sexual practices that commands respect? It is an abomination. A crime against nature. Ask any normal person. LOLOLOLOL

[iwiwla22]

I'm happy to have homosexuals and environmentalists lumped into the same group. Both are usually very decent human beings and both generally respect each other and what they represent.

I am also glad that you left ignorant redneck bible thumping jerk offs such as yourself off the inclusion list. You want to know whats a "crime against nature"? Incest, so stop fucking your brother you backwoods hick.

[iwiwla22]

But the even greater revenge is time. How this generation looks at there parents latent racism and wonders what the fuck is wrong with them, people like HeisenbergSleptHere's children or grandchildren are gonna look back and see his homophobia and wonder why he was such a bigot for no reason at all? Why didn't Grandpa ever stand up for civil rights and human decency? Well, because he was a very angry ignorant person

[GreatSatan1]

You think it is ignorant to preach against homosexual sex?

What are the positives for anal sex, oral sex with the same sex? What are the positives for felching?

[illyounotme]

@GreatSatan1

It is ignorant to be against the very natural state of homosexuality. See my other comment about the documented fact that it is very common in nature. If it is so very common, then you loose your argument against it. It becomes apparent that your feelings against it are just ignorant bigotry with no foundation in reality. Just like Faux's lies, deceptions, & misdirections just "Fairly Unbalanced"

[GreatSatan1]

Most everyone nowadays has an experience or two with homosexuals. I had a brother in law who lived in San Francisco who died of aids. I have cousin who was disinherited by his parents for being gay. He has a brother who is not gay. Whether is is natural or not, it is an unfortunate condition to find one's self in, in my opinion/

[illyounotme]

@ GreatSatan1

iwiwla22's comment was to your other accounts HeisenbergSleptHere & NotEasilyRegimented, but thanks for revealing what seems to be your main use account. It is funny how you poorly disguise your sock accounts.

To your misinterpretation of iwiwla22 I will just point out it was about bigoted attitudes not hoping a child is gay. The comment was pointing out how such bigots will be laughed at by their own future generations, possibly even scorned. Your just too bigoted to see though.

[GreatSatan1]

Here I am. I am also NotEasilyRegimented and HeisenbergSleptHere and Brainfartzzz and nukedude2 and my main account is TAMARLANE, It is interesting to see the varying responses you get based on your screen name. Sometimes I get private messages about one of my other accounts.

[GreatSatan1]

Given the choice between living a life, in the United States, as a gay man or woman, or, as a heterosexual man or woman, which would be your choice, and why?

Don't cop out on me and say you have no choice. If you are gay it is because you are born that way. that is not the question. The question is which would you rather be, gay or straight, and why.

[illyounotme]

I don't really care one way or another gay or straight, I happen to be hetro, but see no problem with anyone who loves the same sex. What would I prefer, well I would prefer to be bi, but I am not sadly. I had many wonderful gays interested in me but had to turn them down because I was not attracted to them.

The real point is you're hate filled biased bigot, just like Faux. You like to claim homosexuality is wrong but that is saying nature is wrong, do you hate nature? Why does love scare you?

[GreatSatan1]

Like I said earlier. Homosexuality is not about love, it is about sex. It is not homosexuality without the sex part. Therefore the sex part takes precedence over the rational part. It is an uncivilized aberration. Sorry dude.

[illyounotme]

Then hetero is not about love and only sex by your thinking. Since it is only the having sex with opposite gender that makes it different.

To think it has nothing to do with love is absolutely absurd, just because you say something stupid like it has nothing to do with love does not make it so. In fact just another way to show your bias and bigotry. If it is so uncivilized why was it so prevalent in both Rome and Greek society, the source of what we deem civilized in the Western Civ.?

[iwiwla22]

@GreatSatan

"Homosexuality is not..."

Once again your just so God damned wrong. Twin studies show genetic correlation therefore it is a natural characteristic.

Genetic Correlation = part of nature = you fail again you dumb redneck fuck

[FlaminglyGayCanadian]

THIS grandfather asks questions you don't or can't answer. As yet, science has not come up with a gay gene, in spite of your rhetoric. When they do, it will be front page, above the fold, news all around the world.

You are an unworthy opponent in debate. Inferior. Lame. Stupid;.

[iwiwla22]

As usual, people of your intellectual capacity read something and only take away what they can argue against. I did not say that there was a gay gene. I said that there is a correlation in genetic testing amongst twin that tests positive, and that is a scientific fact. That does not dictate cause and effect. It just means that in twins if one of them is gay you have around a 70% chance that the other is gay. Which would not happen if genetics did not play some role.

[daSuicideFairy]

I will give you the last word on this topic.

[illyounotme]

Hello again sock maker GreatSatan1, NotEasilyRegimented, HeisenbergSleptHere & your many other accounts. You do know the reason I find your pointless arguments funny?

You are just helping this video get a higher comment count with all your BS hate and bigotry. Even though you think your are fighting against Media Matters you are actually helping them. So please keep up your insanely primitive opinions, & I will keep laughing at them.

[GreatSatan1]

Oh, since I am 72 you think I am primjitive? Very ageist of you. You have already mentioned bigotry. Why not throw in sexist, racist and homophobe. Oh, wait you already did the homophobe I think. So, the formula goes "Call them racist, sexist, bigoted homophobes. But that wasn't quite enough for you. You gotta' add ageist..

Do your parents agree with you?

[illyounotme]

Lets actually uncover the reality, it is your an idiot who thinks he is smart. If you are 72 you actually act like 13 so no I am not ageist for calling you primitive. Primitive has nothing to do with your age & all to do with your out dated ideas & thinking. You might have fit in well during McCarthy area fear mongering hate hunt or durning the Salem Witch trials. That thinking though is primitive childish & unenlightened. It doesn't matter what age you are or aren't only that you are a hater.

[illyounotme]

This is the 2nd time GreatSatan1 I have seen you interject sexist, racist, & homophobe into the comments before anyone called you them. I wonder if you get called those a lot, seems you are quick to accept those labels. Do you really think calling yourself these names first is a good way to deny them? You might want to seek a therapist & improve your self image. Maybe then you can stop hating others when you stop hating yourself so much.

[whatnowgop]

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Even though I am straight I know a gay couple that have been living together for at least twenty years and they are as much in love with each other than any other man and woman. They share the same interest and make a life for themselves. I thought you ahole righties were all about having government staying out of people;s lives. How about you aholes staying out of other peoples lives? Hypocrites on the right make me puke. Republicans suck.

[daSuicideFairy]

Anecdotal stories are great aren't they?

Have you ever been to San Francisco?

Have you ever been to a gay "bath house" in San Francisco? Contrasts with your gay couple friends.

[whatnowgop]

Sorry, but it's not a anecdotal story. I will gladly let you communicate with one of them if you like. If you are trying to say that all gay couples are members of a bath house in SF then you are stupid. If you are a Republican I'm sure you know plenty of them that have been living together. They make a very good effort to keep it quite.

[daSuicideFairy]

Sorry, I thought anecdotal meant from personal experience. My bad, I guess. I did not say all gay couples are the same as those frequenting gay bath houses in SF. I did suggest, by contrast, that not all gays are like your friends/acquaintances.

I was a republican when Barry Goldwater was running for president. Since then I have been an issue oriented independent. But I suppose you were going to say all Republicans have some fatal flaw.

[daSuicideFairy]

anecdotal

Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis:

[iwiwla22]

@GreatSatan

"Given the choice"

What an absolutely loaded, bankrupt and idiotic question.

In a capitalist country, would your rather be rich or poor? Rich = Capitalism a good system?

Would you rather be white or black in pre-civil rights America? white = segregation a better system?

Would you rather be gay or straight in homophobic America? straight = homophobia an acceptable position?

Your logic is so screwed no wonder your so ignorant. Read a book or something

[GreatSatan1]

Grandfathers don't hope their children are homosexual. Grandfathers don't hope their grandchildren are homosexual. What is the matter with you?

[iwiwla22]

@greatsatan

"Grandfathers don't"

Now you can make sweeping generalizations of what every grandfather everywhere hopes and thinks? The level of your perceived grandiosity is overwhelming

[illyounotme]

Thanks for answering for NotEasilyRegimented, I am guessing that you two are the same person then. Since it was him that said send them To Canada. Nice use of sock accounts made less than 10 days apart to try and back each other up. Too bad you don't know how to keep the two apart in your feeble mind and answer comments with the correct one.

As to homosexual being a crime against nature you better try to tell nature that since it seems to be the norm not the exception. Only bigots like you care

[illyounotme]

In fact, apparent homosexual individuals are known from all of the traditional domestic species, from sheep, cattle and horses to cats, dogs and budgerigars. In the approximately 1,000 to 3,000 species whose behavior has been well researched & described in the literature, approximately 450 have been shown to have clear homosexual behaviors. Any homosexual behavior you care to name sex, kissing, long-term pair bonding, all these & many more are all commonly found in the animal kingdom.

[GreatSatan1]

You cannot justify human behavior using animal kingdom statistics. Dumbkoff. We are civilized, or supposed to be. Self aware creatures R us. the Buddhist question. "Does a dog have Buddha nature?" Mu. is the answer. Research that oo while you are gathering statistics about the animal kingdom. LOL

[illyounotme]

Why can't you explain the human animal behavior by citing the rest of the animal kingdom? We are animals, so want our other animal relatives do does have a relationship to what we do with eachother.

You are now showing your bias and bigotry of the other animals on earth. Do you think your superior to them?

[GreatSatan1]

Animals are not sentient beings.

[illyounotme]

Well since you have been wrong about everything else, I don't think it is going out on much of a limb to say, maybe animals are sentient, have you asked them? The fact that humans are animals immediately makes your statement false. But knowing you have the giant ego to think your separate what makes you decide that other animals aren't sentient, normally it means self aware. I have seen some pretty self aware animals. Again I think you just show your bias and bigotry. Sorry but you loose again.

[FlaminglyGayCanadian]

Animals are not aware of themselves in the same way human beings are. Not aware that they will die. Not aware of the consequences of their actions. Not sentient.

[Bruce1949919]

If you don't watch Fox News...YOU LOSE!  Check their ratings you idiots.

[EnhancementSmoker]

i contribute to their ratings because i watch fox for comedy...its hilarious.

and high ratings do not equal accuracy in reporting or credible journalism...

[Bruce1949919]

Do you know the difference between an opinion program from real News? Or are you just drinking the Kool-Aid from Media Matters (NOT FOR) America. If you were called Media Matters for America wouldn't you think they would report on both sides? No...They are talking only about conservatives. This is biased reporting in my estimation. You can think whatever you like, I don't drink the Kool-Aid on either side. MSNBC SUCKS!

[EnhancementSmoker]

yes, all corporate media is opinion shows...and i agree msnbc sucks.

fox, msnbc, cnn...all corporate media....all biased towards corporatism...

But in reality media matters just shows segments of these peoples own shows...

its the words coming out of their very own mouths that they cant take...

if you dont like it...start a conservative one...or do whatever you want.

but hissyfits defending fox news ratings are seriously pathetic...

[Bruce1949919]

I watch two programs on Fox News. Glenn Beck which is an opinion program that actually backs it up with facts. I don't care if advertiser on that program bailed. They are the fools.

I watch the 7PM show with Shep Smith which is News. Roger Ailes is no fool. He knows what sells. And every time the White House points out Fox News or Fox Business their ratings do go up. Double spacing your comments are frankly silly. Now go away.

[EnhancementSmoker]

i think its funny that you care so much about what sells...as if that is in any way related to credible journalism

i watch PBS, democracy now, and read for serious news. this is the main reason im not a brain dead retard...

and glenn beck backing stuff up with facts...haha. even he claims he isnt a journalist...

Are you sure that you have the correct definition for the word fact? Cuz finding a secret acronym in the mispelled word oligarchy isnt what rational people call fact...

[iwiwla22]

Yeah, because the truth and objective reporting is a popularity contest

[Bruce1949919]

Do you then agree with Fox or MSNBC/CNN/ABC/CBS?

[iwiwla22]

No I seldom find myself agreeing with anything coming from a major news source. PBS is the only major network worth watching( MacNeil/Lehrer, Frontline, NPR) Otherwise, yeah I really like Democracy Now and PACIFICA, LinkTV or I read the Economist and the Financial Times. WSJ is ok for the most part too.

The reason why Fox has high ratings is because idiots watch TV and Fox provides angry infotainment for the masses. Too much reliance on Sensationalism. Fox News is the new Yellow Journalism.

[Bruce1949919]

You say idiots watch Fox News opinion programs. Guess what??? These idiots as you describe them VOTE.

Get with the program and watch Glenn Beck or Shep Smith.  You will get entertainment and facts from Beck, and real News from Shepard Smith.

Obama's administration is trying to control us the American Citizen. And we and all are not buying his B.S.

[iwiwla22]

First off, Glenn Beck is damn near crazy. You'll get tons of entertainment from Beck, but as far as facts go, he is mostly hyperbole.

And yes I know Fox viewers vote, that is what scares me. As Thomas Frank pointed out, people are more than willing to vote against their own interest if their lied to enough about values or "socialism."

Exactly how is the Obama Administration "trying to control us the American Citizen?"

[DeistPaladin]

I have more respect for the 700 Club than Fox Noise. At least Robertson's group is more-or-less honest about reporting the news from a biased perspective.

[st4ticblu3]

Media matters lies too. I have proof unlike all the people crying that FOX lies.

watch?v=HAJqTbHjMTA

[illyounotme]

@ st4ticblu3

Sorry but you seem to be mistaken, Media Matters did not lie you misunderstood the information. In the video you point to you highlighted that Primary Practitioners are responsible (not required), Giving patients pertinent education materials (it does not say the end of life book is mandatory, but cites it as an example of possibilities)

This is a perfect example how Faux lies. They distort the truth by taking information out of context and bending the meaning.

[st4ticblu3]

If something is your responsibility as part of your job title. It is a requirement.

If you are a manager of a retail store and it is your responsibility to fill out the time sheet. It's not an option. If you don't do it, you would get fire. So to keep your job it is a requirement to fill out the time sheet. Same difference.

If a doctor choice to give the book it is because he is required to give end of life reading material. You are just twisting it the other direction. Semantics.

[illyounotme]

@st4ticblu3

Actually no, I am giving the real interpretation. Once again you twist things by trying to change words & put your own limited view upon it. You fail to acknowledge that the booklet you are so scared of, is just one example of educational material. To put it in terms neo-con's can understand, a doctor would have just as much choice referring a patient to the bible & their church of choice. The responsibility is to make a patient aware there is info if they choose.

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

Why bother to put it into legislation? Something that is quite obvious to everyone. Everyone except maybe those who think the government must dictate every single aspect of our lives.

[st4ticblu3]

Media Matters...

FOX News...

Same thing, different sides.

[carrierexchange]

Fucking finally!

Fox News is fucking insane.

[agusman18]

Faux News

We deceive, you believe.

[WKaliberr]

Fox News is gayer than Damien Duff

[Bruce1949919]

Who's Gay.  I think one of the leaders on Media Matters. He sucks......Wieners

[whatnowgop]

Not any more. He reformed and left the Republican party back during the Clinton terms in office. Oh, you didn't know he once was a righttard, did you?

[ProgressiveAction10]

A lying, fear-monger "news" station that lives to appease ignorant ideologies, is claiming that being called out on their bullshit is persecution? The Republitards will eat it right up of course.

[Boomer1949]

This is what we have all been waiting for! Someone to come right out and say, what we have all known for years now, that Fox network is a partisan arm of the Republican party..plan and simple.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Nice going WH!

Time to put this crap channel and it's dumbass viewers on notice!

[junkforkaryn]

lies and disinformation aren't funny or interesting, so Cluster Fox wouldn't even be considered "entertainment" in my book.

[FresnoTimeLord]

Can't the FCC Do something??

[iwiwla22]

No, because news organizations do not have to report anything accurately. Lying is protected by the first amendment.

[whatnowgop]

FOX aka the Fascist Opinion X-Change has won two such law suits giving them the right to lie under the first amendment. Also they are on cable which makes it different than spewing crap on the airwaves.

[iwiwla22]

I know about the Wilson/Akyre trial, but what was the other one?

[kthhrv833]

fox news 'fairly unbalanced' and thats an understatement :)

[frankodelic]

Fox News is H8tainment.

Watch if you want to be H8ertained, but for the sake of our country, please don't confuse anything said with fact.

[frankodelic]

Faux News... We Distort, You Comply...

... your official source of right wing radical "news"

[Crextal]

When was this shown on TV?

this show is Countdown with keith olbermann it is shown after hardball with chris mathews and before rachel maddow show

its on after 7:00 dont know the actual time its reapeated at 12:00 central

[Crextal]

I mean, was this on today? Or is it an old story?

[fishhead06]

Fox is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. In other news, the earth orbits the sun.

[3star2nr]

I think the whitehouse is making a miscalculation here. Going to war with Fox isnt the way to handle this.

All they are doing is fanning the flames higher. Fox news will be seen by the loony right as rebels fighting the establishment. And it will give more credibility to the nonsense they put out.

The better strategy is to do nothing and stand firm against the attacks

[underpantssquirrel]

I think you're on to something, since I've seen all these conservatives display a persecution complex lately.

But I think we have to call people out on their lies. I think doing nothing is what got Bush elected twice.

[nidodson]

So MSNBC is reporting on CNN reporting on Fox. Are we serious here?

So next we will have MSNBC reporting CNN reporting Fox reporting NY Times reporting Digg reporting Huff. Post.

[3star2nr]

lol the ultimate form of accountability haha

[TruthistEvo]

haha, if they all do a little bit of fact checking for once, we can actually find the facts eventually.

[Craigipedia]

I'm okay with media outlets trashing one another's misinformation. I think we need more people attacking FOX News, 24/7

[TruthistEvo]

Yeah, MM needs to get their own channel and go after lies 24/7 on all news channels, and actually keep statistics of which news channels lie, distort the truth, and just make stuff up.

I think that would really get interesting. I would pay for it.

[Dasconscripts]

actually you dumbass the show they are showing is a EDITORIAL JOURNALISM SHOW msnbc has 3 big ones Mourning joe, rachel maddow and countdown, they arent saying they are a news channel the point of the show countdown is to tell people about news storys they borrow from other places i was thinking about making a youtube show like that but that was before i knew about this show

[TruthistEvo]

What a bold man. /s

[KRNTO]

but what the problem theyre talking about is the amount of bias and misinformation throughout Fox's regular "news" programming.And shows like Beck and Hannity give blatant misinformation,and basically tell their audience false claims

[whatnowgop]

Fox News has only a few hours a day set aside for News. Their entire morning show is Republican propaganda then they take a break and put in slanted news then it's right back to Republican propagada at 5 pm. It's good thing they won two lawsuits under the first amendment that gives them the right to lie to people. It's also a good thing they are on cable or they would be under more regulations to actually follow their phony Fair and Balanced slogan.

[GreatSatan1]

Would you feel bad if government shut down fox news? Would you feel bad if government took over all private property? Would you feel bad if America became an communist country?Would you feel bad if America became a third world country as the wealth packs up and leaves?

[whatnowgop]

I don't want Fixed News shut down. They help ratify how the right is full of liars and nutsacks.

[GreatSatan1]

The exact opposite of truth. Congratulations. You have earned a gold star or something , I guess

Enjoy watching Fox News. Most people do..

[EHeroClayman]

i watched this last night and agree with Burns and Dunn

[voyeurdug]

(No offense, but) it's not about politics and it's not about news. It's about Fox News' being a for-HUGE-profit, propaganda-entertainment machine.

[Kevron76]

Your fearless leader takes the stage

[Francebrasil]

Who´s that?? Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck???
