Say No to Faux News
There’s been a lot of discussion lately in grassroots blogs about how politically tone deaf some in the establishment Democratic party seem to be about the Republican Noise Machine, and its main TV propaganda arm: Fox News.
Even after Faux News has gone after Democratic party candidates in the past, the Nevada Democratic party has made a deal with Faux News to carry one of the early nomination debates. And more recently Faux News has gone after Sen Obama, a leading presidential candidate, Robert Greenwald has more:
Earlier this week it was announced that FOX would host a Presidential Primary debate for the Democratic Party of Nevada. This farce must be stopped. FOX cannot be allowed to pretend for one day they are a news organization.
If you are thinking, ‘why bother? Who cares? No one believes or listens to what FOX says,’ I have two words for you — Swift Boat. Keeping the Swift Boaters alive was FOX’s main contribution to the 2004 elections. FOX’s bias does not just reach those who knowingly tune in to the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Other media become influenced by and pick up stories from FOX. Thus, the bias spreads like a cancer — destroying honest news coverage.
