Yes, Brad! Fox has mislabeled normal citizen dissent and activism as coming from wild-eyed lefties.
When will they recognize that their brand of "journalism" is nothing short of being just another arm of the executive branch. The imperial presidency and the national security state include America's executive branch and Fox "news."
I am sooo envious that you are THERE!
I'd like to see a video spoof making fun of their characterization of normal citizen dissent as raucous and out of control.
Gee, during the French Revolution they were guillotine-ing 800 people a week there for a while. Now THAT is raucous and out of control.

Furthermore ...
Bill O'Reilly is far more raucous and out of control than those nonviolent demonstrators.

It would be fine with me if they did considerably more than cuss this guy out. Not really hurt him, mind you, maybe just hold him down and write "FASCIST" on his forehead with a sharpie. something like that.

Unfortunately, the problem is bigger than just FOX News. It's the corporate media cartel that covers up serious issues such as impeachment and even lies to the public to protect itself from being exposed.
Check out my article Let’s See How Our 'Free Press' Covers Impeachment for news about the impeachment coverage blackout and ways to counteract it.
Also, don't miss the link in the comments to the laughable CNN coverage of the impeachment hearing. It’s a must see! CNN completely embarrasses itself and dispels any notion that it covers news. I hope that Jon Stewart uses it! Unfortunately, Jon didn't ask Pelosi about impeachment, so it seems like even Jon is not allowed to talk about impeachment.
If you think that a “news” blackout is bad, then you might be very worried to learn that the “news” media would lie to prevent public access TV from exposing its lies. If you want the truth, see Welcome to the Twilight Zone Where an Increase is a Cut!?!
So, while F**k FOX News is a good chant, I think that F**k the lying news media would be even better.
Thankfully, we have great news outlets like the Brad Blog to help us find the truth.

Comment #7,
And we can all thank former Pres. Clinton for signing the 1996 Telecommunications Act which probably did more than any other single piece of "free market" media legislation to allow greater media consolidation opening the way for corporations to promote greater media censorship.
THANK-YOU BILL CLINTON!!!

Isn't the Net fantastic!
Prediction: Fox will hire some goons acting as "protesters" to really get things going.
If you doubt this, do a little history research on the 60s. Of course there is a slight difference. This sort of "mischief" used to be handled by the public sector (FBI--J.Edgar Hoover era, CIA, U.N.C.L.E.?, etc.) but times are changing, and it has been privatized!
To the newshound from Fox: "Freedom of speech" is what the crowd was illustrating! The crowd seemed to be diverse, but not dangerous, unless you can't take a little cussin'.
Information free of (Fox) editing, distributed this widely and rapidly gives me hope.

Fuck I hate conservatism and the Republican party. I can't wait until they are reduced to silly old men yelling at their neighbors' garbage cans, which is what most of them are as it is, and they have been running this country for 8 stolen years. Dammit how I loathe their backwards views on social, foreign policy, economic, and other important issues. I hate the fact that they are who they are and they've done what they've done. I hate Fox News because Fox News was the mouthpiece of these murderous, moronic hacks. That remedial joke of a man, Bush even hired former Fox News propagandist Tony Snow to be one of his shit-spewing press secretaries (high turnover rate for that gig). Fuck Fox News, fuck them in their stupid faces. They should be thrown into the pit with Karl Rove when it comes time for the war crimes investigations...You KNOW Bush and Cheney will put that on his sorry ass.

You are all disgustingly wrong. Fox News rocks. And roughing up a Fox News crew accomplishes nothing other than exposing these anarchist protestors as hate-filled violence-prone clowns.
Forget about your vicious and evil fantasies about burning down Fox News. Ain't gonna happen.

Hello,
A friend of mine has created a very interesting video. It has inspired me vote in the upcoming election, and if you aren't already going to, I am sure it will for you too.
You can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4kg514DcTA
I would love to hear what you think about it after you watch it. Thank you for your time.

They do what Soros pays them to do. What do you expect? They cannot substantiate that Fox lies, yet they just say it without thinking in terms of objectivity or substantiation. They just say what they want and try to rationalize it with "freedom of speech," how laughable yet sad.
"Objectivity" is the key word that seems to mean nothing these days, especially to the zombie protesters hopped-up on kool-aid.
Do you think they pass out deodorant there? I hope so.

Based on what I saw, the "protesters" are the ones who don't know what "raucous" or "out of control" or "freedom of speech" or even "taunting" mean. All the reporter from Fox did was ask them for their point of view and he was then verbally abused. Why? Because Fox News is not left wing and doesn't represent the left view and so they should be vilified. So, based on what I saw in the video, I come to the conclusion that to the protesters "raucous" would actually mean "riot" to the rest of us and "out of control" would means "mayhem", "freedom of speech" would mean the left point of view only and based on the posted comments supporting mayham etc., it appears I am correct in my assessment.
Oh, and "taunting"? That would mean just being there.
Welcome to the new world.

Poor little "Preston", I pity people so brain dead that they cant see that Faux Noise lies continuously.
I mean really, virtually every word from these morons is a bald faced lie and can be and has been proven to be countless times in the past 8 years.
These Faux Noise sycophants are scary.
Only the seriously reality challenged could possibly be part of this group.
I have a theory I have been working on for about 10 years now and so far it appears to me that a lot of our problems like this, (Delusional people that believe every word Faux Noise spews, that don't question the blatantly obvious election fraud, that argue against impeachment of Treasonous war criminals, that believe handing over the rights to virtually our entire coastline to Big Oil under the pretext that "offshore drilling" is some how going to magically cure our dependence on foreign *Canadian, Mexican, Venezuelan* oil, when in fact it will make ZERO difference within 8 years and less than 1% difference after that and even then ONLY IF they build more refineries) I can go on & on but you get the gist.
My theory is that the root of this delusional psychosis is based on Religious Indoctrination.
These people have completely divorced themselves from factual reality already, they believe the Earth was "created" by their sun god 6000 years ago, they live in a world where demons, angels, talking snakes, miracles, wishing *praying* will cure all ills, every animal & human being on this planet came from a single small ark built by a 600 year old man.
To put it bluntly these people are stark raving insane. Once you have completely divorced yourself from reality like this then it becomes child's play to convince this group of ANYTHING. All they have to do is make them "want" to believe it and that's it after that they will swallow whatever bullshit the media says no matter how crazy or easily debunked it is.
Even when it is so obvious to the rest of us they are lying, so obvious they have stolen elections, so obvious they attacked us in a false flag attack on 9/11 AND the Anthrax.
All of these things are excruciatingly obvious to anyone SANE.
I don't think it is just a coincidence that the percentages of religiously insane (fundamentalist of any flavor) happen to match almost exactly with the 25-30% of the population that still supports this war criminal Bush.
They are also a very large part of those that don't believe the elections were stolen and that 9/11 happened just like the official conspiracy theory states.
I have little hope for this country as long as it is 100% mandatory that any elected official, president, congress etc. Must prove that they are clinically insane before they run for office.

I always get a kick out of commenters who, because they can't yell in their internet posts, write in caps. It's just hilarious.
I guess they haven't learned yet that if you yell your entire spiel, nobody listens after the first five or six words. Just ask any kids with parents who yell at them. They won't remember a word that was said to them, only that they were yelled at and that their parents' faces looked really funny.
Well, commenters. Same/same with the all-caps routine.
I'm just tryin' to help ya out.

I love the fact that as he walked down the street asking questions he was mocked and ignored. Then he strikes back with, "Don't you believe in freedom of speech?".
Hey dumbass, walking in a protest march is expressing your freedom of speech. Not talking to a Faux News Douche is just showing good taste.
I would have liked a nice Falafel Bill chant.

So republicans are supposed to be (becoming) old people yelling at their neighbor's garbage cans? And the kind of rhetoric shown by the videotaped protesters and the anti-Fox intelligentsia here are the vanguard of a great new world? Please. You want to know why none of you ever get influence? Because average Americans despise people who are too lazy to discuss things intelligently. You will always be the political fringe here, no matter who is in power, because you are just too dumb to figure out how dumb you are.
I'm not a republican, but I do have a brain. I feel that I've wasted it reading this tripe.

I am amazed how Nunyabiz spelled out so many words on comment #22 and was unable to get in a single piece of truth within them. That truly was lies to impotence instead of truth to power.
Oh, was that "F*** Rense" comment related to the deleted anti-Jewish comment? I wouldn't say "F*** Rense"; I would instead point out that rense.com is an utterly crackpot Jew-hating website. And there you have it.

These elections were not stolen (unless you're talking about the possible theft in Washington State 2004), President Bush and his cabinet members are "not treasonous war criminals", and Fox News is a lot more accurate than A-Mess-NBC will ever hope to be, particularly with Keith "Go F*** Your Mother" Olbermann leading that network over the cliff.
Who cares about your 10-year-old theory? It sounds like people who are theorizing that we never landed on the moon. Theories crafted under the influence of hallucinogens aren't worth much.

Bush and his crime syndicate have been proven to be treasonous war criminals many times over.
Been found guilty of all charges in 3 separate War Crimes Tribunals.
Both elections were clearly and blatantly stolen, also proven well beyond any reasonable doubt.
Talking about "hallucinating".
Not only cant you handle the truth you apparently cant even handle REALITY.
You are in serious need of psychiatric care, someone in your delusional state should not be walking the streets freely.

"Found guilty of all charges in 3 separate war crimes tribunals..."
Tribunals led by who? Wacked-out college professors and other self-appointed "experts" who conducted kangaroo court circus trials.
It has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that this stolen-election blather is a laughable collection of internet twaddle, mathematical noodling and leaps of logic that would safely clear the Grand Canyon. Bush won. Kerry lost. Gore lost.
I will be walking the streets once again after I am done here, so put that in your bong and smoke it.

All 3 tribunals lead by patriots from over 11 different countries. Granted they were not hand picked Reich wing sycophants but would you expect for the Mafia to condemn themselves and then arrest themselves for instance?
Apparently you would because regardless of whom was on the tribunal it would make no difference to you and you damn well know it.
The information they gathered and the verdict they all came to were well documented and only a complete lunatic could have come up with any other decision given the vast amount of irrefutable evidence they had to go on.
http://www.wagingpeace.o...nscience-declaration.htm
There is another one coming up soon.
"Lawrence Velvel, the dean of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover, plans to convene a 'convention' at the school's facilities; the attendees of which will plan strategies to prosecute members of the Bush administration for war crimes."'
http://rawstory.com/news...nce_to_convene_0622.html
The Red Cross finds Bush & Co guilty of War Crimes.
http://rawstory.com/news...tration_guilty_0712.html
The FBI has solid evidence Bush is guilty of war crimes.
http://existentialistcow...dicts-george-w-bush.html
Here is a site with several hundred links that positively prove war crimes committed by the US government.
http://www.nogw.com/warcrimes.html
As for the election fraud, cant get any plainer than this site right here that the election have been stolen, but of course you know that you are just in some sort of psychotic denial.
Oh well, nothing can be done with people like you.
You are akin to a Young Earth Creationist, no amount of irrefutable evidence from 1000s of the most respected sources will ever make a bit of difference to someone that is clearly delusional.
you are a waste of time.

Like I said, kangaroo court "tribunals" that are led by crackpot academia, and that includes Velvel, who even wants President Bush executed. Hey Velvel, you make any attempt to kill President Bush or any other cabinet members, and we will throw you in prison.
These "tribunals" carry no weight. They are based in hallucinogenic fantasy.
These elections were not stolen. I will continue to make valuable use of my time by saying so.

I am done wasting my time discussing anything with someone that has proven they need psychiatric care, it serves no purpose be like trying to teach my cat calculus.
So you are on /ignore.
Seek therapy, I would suggest taking a stroll to your nearest Sanitarium, as you are walking up to the front desk tilt your head back and close your eyes while waving your arms back N forth shouting "praise him" and spew any verse of your choosing.
When you feel the net drop over you just keep your eyes closed, you will feel a sharp sting of the needle but don't fight it, they are there to help you.
