Fox News Cares About Privacy (or Just Sarah Palin)?

UPDATE: David Kernell was indicted on a single federal FELONY charge on October 8, 2008. In the indictment, the US Department of Justice failed to follow its own narrow definition of "stored communications" as I explained in this video. You can see the indictment at: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1008081palin1.html

For DOZENS of more examples of Fox News bias, check out my Fox News bias playlist at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

In this video, I show the hypocrisy of the outrage on Fox News last week when Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin had her privacy violated by a Yahoo email hacker.

You can find the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) posting titled "Privacy is Not Partisan" to which I refer in my video at http://blog.aclu.org/2008/09/19/privacy-is-not-partisan/

You can find the EFF posting titled "DOJ View on Email Privacy May Hamper Prosecution of Palin Hackers" to which I refer in my video at http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/09/doj-view-email-privacy-may-hamper-prosec...

You can find my previous video titled "Fox News Helps Bush Hide Scope of His New Power to Spy on US" to which I refer in my video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIlTgaImVsI

Regarding the dates of the Fox News clips, the short clip of Laura Ingraham and Bill O'Reilly I use in my video comes from the September 19, 2008, broadcast of "The O'Reilly Factor." The short clip of Dennis Miller and Bill O'Reilly I use in my video comes from the August 8, 2007, broadcast of "The O'Reilly Factor." And, finally, the short clip of Bill O'Reilly on "Fox & Friends" I use in my video comes from the September 23, 2008, broadcast of that show.

@MyPasswordisGrawp When the government violates privacy rights of ordinary innocent citizens, or liberal causes, the right-wingers have no fucking problem with (they even champion it sometimes, as seen in this clip). Conservatives are not for smaller, less-intrusive government and never have been. They just want you to think that, so they can set up their own right-wing totalitarian government that can control the rights of every part of your life.

why didnt they help boxxy

[KoachKrab127]

I am much more concerned with the intrusions by other individuals are a bigger threat. There are much more reported cases of robbers breaking into people's houses than the government. And to answer your 2nd question, Fox News isn't biased in favor of big government. It's biased in favor of republicans. If Obama has a big government plan, they go ape****. If Bush has a big government plan, they LOVE it.

Intrusion by others supported by the government is the biggest threat. And we only have to go back to the 50s to see why.

[lycosa2000]

I can answer it simply.. Fox news put Bill O' Reilly and the total whack nutjob Glen Beck on the air. 'nuff said.

[JonasPlanck]

Now that Rupert has gone and done the same thing, we can put that hypothetical to the test... I wonder if Fox will forget it has chronic amnesia long enough to do so? Also, how many mysterious deaths were there in the Palin hack scandal?

There was an ARREST, but no deaths... Also it was one guy, and not a systemic pattern of abuse...slightly different circumstances?

[dgelcaganer10h]

@helpdonate1 Because MSNBC isn't as vile, rich or far reaching as FOX and Murdoch's "New Corp" that's why? It's very simple like most of the posters here on youtube.

[Deciblaster]

@xmenrus Never would I support Obama, never would I support Bush, or his former baby, Fox. I Listen to people that have something to say with is factually correct. I don't realise how that is being a useful idiot...I would say you ahve to be one of those useful idiots that keeps this giant boobe-tube corp. running. Have you noticed how they have said absoutely nothing about Ron paul? That's because they support a pro- big money agenda...therefore you are supporting the theives....BAHHH SHEEP

The Problem is, National Security vs Private Security. People hacking into Palins email accounts should be charged with a federal crime, just like if I hacked into my nieghbors.

[cake1834]

love the videos but, damn you! your playlist changing videos lags my game. just kidding keep it up.

[hack451]

The government has more power to harm me than the average individual... but if I were a person of note, the individuals attempting to break my privacy would vastly outnumber the government's resources to do the same.

If I were a celebrity or politician, I could see worrying about individuals more; but as a person of no noteriety or even decent credit score, my privacy is most certainly threaten more by the government than the multitudes of 'anonymous'.
