As much as I agree with her, I don't think its smart to go after Fox.

If they make it a campaign i agree...but nothing wrong with planting a seed and saying that it's a propaganda outlet now and then...it's the truth.

Yup. Pointed it out from time to time ain't a bad idea.


I would have been FURIOUS with GWB had he tried to freeze out a major media outlet the way Obama has FNC. It is one thing to provide preferential treatment to those who like you better; this, I can understand. But I would have been outraged had GWB frozen out MSNBC or CNN the way Obama has done FNC.

To try and shut down the reporting and debate is controverting the spirit of one of basic tenants of our constitution, that of a free press. No, it may not technically be a violation of the Constitution. But when the ONLY media outlet that provides a dissenting point of view is frozen out of the process, it degenerates into something that is NOT a free press. And that is what has happened here.

What is WITH you people that you want to shut down the only voice of truth, at least for some people, amongst the major media outlets?
