FOX News defends its right to lie

Not just FOX News!

News sources now don't even bother to hide their news is biased any longer. No wonder I lost all interest in watching it! How disgusting.

I'd say it was a threat to freedom of information and accuracy, but this is nothing new. It is just more open now than it has been in a very long while.

I started to post a detailed response ... but then I figured it's really a rather unremarkable event in the larger scheme of things.

I've said elsewhere I expect the oft observed political polarization would increase and spread in various way to other aspects of life.

I'd say this case is a good example of that.

I agree that Fox isn't the only one. Take supermarket rags for example.

Yep! I agree also! They are all that way now! It really is quite bad to watch or listen to anyone these days!
And to think ol George Orwell was so spot on way back when! He had everything correct except the date!
Think of how twisted it may get in another generation or so!
b.d.

Ah, I gave up watching the news when I gave up my TV. Less hassles all the way around. I had figured out long ago that it was mostly just all a bunch of hot air. Balloons, anyone? LOL

I do ! I do ! And to think by that time, I may be back in a carbon unit - once again !

I've seen Robert Monroe clips in which he talks about how a spirit gets addicted to the physical form, Ha ! That's a new level of addiction if you ask me.

Well, this may be scant comfort, but I doubt things will get much more twisted. I've read news articals from the 1880's, 1890's onward and one thing stands out; they've always been this biased.

For a few decades they were more hidden about it is all.

The first two links are about the recombinant bovine growth hormone controversy, while the last link contains much more information about Monsanto in general, and a number of its other transgressions.
