Why America Sucks


Motherfucking Fox News


FOX is the absolute worst. Fox News, America's Propaganda Machine.

Fox News isn't news. Tragically, most Americans don't even realize it. Fox 'News' is a 24-hour broadcast of opinion. You never see a Fox News reporter on the scene describing what he sees; instead you see these arrogant studio dickheads and puff-brained bitches sitting in front of the camera, all dressed in nice clothes with their hair freshly styled, doing their damnedest to influence you to agree with what they are saying.

This is a very important distinction. They are not informing the audience, the are attempting to persuade the audience.

Hannity and Colmes? That's not news. That's two big-mouthed idiots sitting at a table together telling the world what they think about this or that event.

The O'Reilly Factor? That's one of the most revolting examples of propaganda I've ever seen, rivaling even that of the great swine himself, Rush Limbaugh. The guy's the biggest dickhead I've ever seen! Inviting people to his show so that he can ask them a series of questions, never listening to an answer, interrupting his prey�I mean his guest in mid-sentence to ask them another question, each question serving as a premise that will ultimately support his specious conclusion, which was clearly decided upon well in advance of the interview. I'm not a Bible-beater, but I'm convinced that if there is a hell, Bill O'Reilly is earning himself fare for a one-way ticket every time he opens his mouth on that show.

And Charlie Gibson? One word: weasel. He is a weasel incarnate. I saw him rolling his eyes every time somebody called in and spoke against drilling in Alaska. Rolling his eyes. I was so mad. I still am. He knows full good and well the impact that will have on people, how it will sway people to agree with him that we should start drilling in Alaska. Was there any real information, any real news in his spot? No. Did he tell any of us how that drilling would come about, who would do it, how they would do it, and how they would benefit? No. The U.S. government isn't going to go up there and drill that oil. They're going to lease out the jobs to a company like Shell or Exxon or Occidental, and those private, profit-driven corporations are going to go up there, practically unregulated, free to pollute as they see fit and do nothing about it, and then they're going to sell that oil back to us, the American public, the people who own the oil in the first place, all for a very tidy profit. Rolling his eyes.

Then there was the night on "The O'Reilly Factor" when Billy-boy just blamed the 9/11 Twin Tower disaster on Clinton. Not hard to believe, considering that Fox News is the most blatantly right-wing propaganda machine in network television. He still calls Newt Gingrich 'Mr. Speaker.' That was the night he was bashing the UN. O'Reilly got Newt Gingrich and Jean Kirkpatrick (from the Reagan administration) as guests. That is Fox's idea of 'media diversity.' They have two right-wing commentators offer slightly different opinions of the same event.

Then there was the night they were pushing hard for an eradication of the corporate tax.

Then there was the night when Fox News ran some pieces on how 'unemployment is good.'

The Right just won't let up. That's what scares me. They're omnivorous and insatiable. The fact that they have such a big hold on the media, Fox News by name, scares me most of all.

That piglet O'Reilly was beating up the editor of the People's World Weekly, calling him a propagandist, of all things.

Takes one to know one, I guess�.

It scares me, to be perfectly honest, to see such bold and blatant lying going on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

That's not something that should be happening in the greatest country on earth.
