Fox's Krauthammer Very Upset FCC Wants To Study Their Propaganda Channel
Skip Intro (19,110 posts)
1. It's more than just faux, and it doesn't sound good.
In fact, it begins soon, in my home state capital of Columbia, SC, from what I've read.
I don't want the federal government in any newsroom, "monitoring" content.
I hope no one else here does either.

2. I'm dying to see faux exposed as a Roger Ailes behind a curtain. Don't you think
media concentration and propaganda is a problem? I mean if those 7 ceos are micromanaging all content across all media in the USA I want to know.

28. 3 liberal hosts on MSNBC . . .
along with RW Morning Joe does not mirror 24/7 Fox noise machine.
And when a Florida judge rules that Fox has the right to lie over
our airways using the FCC license that we granted them, I believe
the FCC has the authority to monitor whether these news outlets
are serving the public good

30. Oh BS
perhaps you should review what is what like before the fairness in broadcasting law was repealed. And perhaps you should take a little time to learn to differentiate between news based on fact (see Canada) and propaganda based on lies and half truths, reported as "fair and balanced" news. There once was a time when the news and news reporters took it upon themselves to report the full truth of a story, and took time to dig in depth and research before reporting- Cronkite, E. R Morrow, etc. Men of integrity. Fox can't even shine their shoes -Fox is a propaganda outlet for the GOP, and nothing more. Fox cares nothing about the truth, and never did. Personally I would like to see the FCC yank the license of any news station that willfully broadcasts a lie as factual news.

37. I'm dying to see the media go back to being the watchdog....
Reagan made so many false statements that fact checking him took longer than his press conferences.
The news media took a lot of flack over picking on the old man so they took the lazy way out and invited on Democrats to counter him.
The PROBLEM with that is it opened to door to the NONSENSE we have now of smash mouth politics and "the truth is somewhere in between" / "both sides do it" false equivalency crap demonstrated by the likes of CNN. The truth is the truth and the news used to tell us the truth even though it hurts sometimes.

21. It's scary people think this is OK because... Fox! Shortsighted in the extreme.
Makes me think of the Hunt for Red October scene where the "Political Officer" asks Sean Connery if he can announce the ship's orders to the crew.
Would we hand over EVERY ****ING NEWSROOM IN THE COUNTRY to the federal government because we hate Fox News? Seriously? What does that say about how we feel about the First Amendment if we answered a resounding "YES!" to that question?

47. Thank god you don't get to decide this...
First, if you think that what Fox News is doing is dangerous, or that "lying us into war" is a chargeable offense, I invite you you revisit "Yellow Journalism" and the origins of the Spanish American War.
Second, if we get to apply standards of "truth" to the media, we'd be extending the same rights to the Republicans when they're in charge.
I'll take an unfettered First Amendment if you don't mind.

20. oh YES!!!! YES!!!! GO, FCC, GO!
Wow! Finally finally FINALLY!
Yes, I'm shouting.... I sure wasn't holding my breath, but I've seriously been wanting something done to expose fux spews, friend to the authoritarian conservstive, blustering, incurious, primitive-brained demographic.
It's actually happening? It's starting finally? Ohhhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaay!
P.S. i dont consider deceitful indoctrination brainwashing propaganda that endangers the country (meaning, it's a threat to we individuals who make up the country) to be subject to free speech laws. "Private Ownersip", my ass. They have a transfusion needle full of poison stuck in a vein of every repuke around, and they want to own govt. i.e. own us.
This is an exemption by and for the power elites who own the network. And a political party.
Those mouth breathing window lickers HONESTLY don't seem to comprehend that they are NOT going to be granted some special pass when the Statists tighten their grip on our country.
They are under the delusion that they will some how be part of the special people.
Lurkers...be VERY careful what you wish for.

The DUmpmonkiez should really read about Katyn Forest.
Nadin is there with her fire gear, scanner and box of donuts.

Agreed.
But in their minds they are the ones with the Luger and they're pointing it at a Conservative.

If the FCC really did this fairly (a stretch, I know), I don't think the DUmmies would be too thrilled about this at all.
Actually as long as the propaganda machine that is the MSM doesn't complain the DUmmies won't either since the MSM is the source of everything the DUmmies think and say.
Two J Schools are behind the proposal. The Annenberg School at USC and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Communication and Democracy.
Rush just said it and he's right...the newsrooms...other than Fox WANT this to happen because then they can turn to Obama and go "See! See how well we're reporting your greatness!" They want to show off how big of an ass kisser they are to this Administration.

God, you little pieces of cesspool chunkage have absolutely no clue.
None.
They get their "news" from Jon Stewart, Colbert, and MSNBC.
How about Dateline and truck gas tanks? Hummmmm?

52. Well, anything Glenn Beck is for, I'm against...
Conversely, anything Glenn Beck is against, I'm for. I feel that this is a sign of my intelligence, as well as a sign of Beck's deliberate ignorance. Agreement with Glenn Beck signals the failure of what is basically an IQ test.
I also believe that FCC=Government=We the people - and is therefore a good thing as opposed to any corporate-sponsored Soylent Green news hegemony.

debate team, I would be afraid of having my protective Fox Noise bubble burst.

Stupidity like that really should be excruciatingly painful. :banghead:
There's still a lot of fog of misinformation about this whole thing. Are they walking it back or aren't they?

To the best of my knowledge they're.......shelving it. :whatever:
Meaning? It was outed.
That's not a Luger, that's a Walther P38.

What is truly unsettling and perhaps a dark sign of what the future may very well be is that these idiots truly want an oppressive and overbearing tyranny to shut down those who they disagree with.
I don`t think I have ever seen a conservative of any kind wish for something like that.

If you ever were looking for just one statement that sums up the idiocy and outright willful ignorance of a DUmbass I give you this...
You would be in the fetal position crying and twitching within 20 seconds of trying to debate Charles Krauthammer.
The combined IQ of non mole DUmbfuks would not even equal the intelligence he has in his little finger.
No wonder they hate him,despite being paralyzed in his early 20s he never gave up,he does not whine,play the victim or live a life obsessed with getting a government handout.
You mouth breathing lunatics would not have lasted a day living his life.

It could be said that DUmmies are a bit similar to condoms.At least the condom served a useful purpose....the DUmmie, not so much.
>
Not particularly pleasing to the eye
DUmmie - check
Condom - check
>
Is not intelligent
DUmmie - check
Condom - check
>
Only serves two real purposes to the user
DUmmie - check (voting “D†and protecting dicks)
Condom - check (preventing pregnancy and protecting dicks)
>
Doesn’t work without outside influence
DUmmie - check (cutting off its government handout)
Condom - check (user actually putting it on)
>
Will be tossed away when no longer useful
DUmmie - check
Condom - check
They will be among the first or second group of people sent to the camps to die.
You can lead a (D)Ummie to the Zyklon-B, but you have to promise him a free EBT card to get in.EBT Card = baited field ...and they flock to it like a drove of black birds to a freshly combined field of corn/wheat/etc..
Agreed.
But in their minds they are the ones with the Luger and they're pointing it at a Conservative.
That's not a Luger, that's a Walther P38.
It's a Walther P38, but either way it's odd they put a Nagant in the hands of those MVD pukes for the picture, since it was far and away the main weapon used by the NKVD and MVD, and it's not like they're exactly hard to find. You're completely right on the big point of course, the DUmmtards are just too stupid and shortsighted to realize that the ass-kicking boot has a way of shifting from foot to foot. It might be instructive for them to read up on the Finnish civil war in the wake of WWI, when the boot suddenly changed feet, and what happens to Commies who have been killing people to enforce their way and then suddenly the tables get turned.
I think it's fair to say I spend more time on DU then I do reading news on the internet. I don't watch TV news and I don't listen to talk radio except during my commutes to and from work which means I don't get to listen to Rush, Hannity, et al.
Hell sometimes I spend more time moling than I do here.
So with a preponderance of my time spent on a site that filters all content for liberal propaganda I not only remain immune I grow more anti-liberal by the day.
Why is that Proglodytes?
Seems to me the MVD were planning to frame-up the Nazis for it. Could be wrong.
Interesting. I've always thought that the DUmp would make a good source/subject for writing a thesis on the effects of brainwashing through propaganda.
I am with Snugs,the more I read their stupid crap the more I sense that they are the embodiment of pure evil.
Reagan was right calling the Soviet Union an evil empire and todays left are very much the descendants of that tyranny.
