Klein: Fox's 'hateful crap' borders on 'sedition'
George Joyce

For a fascinating glimpse into the seething and completely unhinged liberal mind check out Joe Klein’s dark and disturbing rant over at Time Magazine. The first line of the piece reads:

Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue.  

Although Klein’s vitriol is off the charts it pales in comparison to what can only be described as his unseemly boot licking.  Here’s an example:

If the problem is that stories bloated far beyond their actual importance -- ACORN's corruption, Van Jones's radical past -- are in danger of leaching out of the Fox hothouse into the general media, then perhaps the Administration should be a bit more diligent about whom it hires and whom it funds.

Sedition?

That idiot doesn't deserve another reader.

Notice there is no discourse that says, "These things are false and here's the facts as to why" all we get are "it's hurting Obama and it shouldn't be allowed."

According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

In at least the last 10 years, Fox News has never had to recant a story it broke. Can any other news outlet say that?
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Precisely.  If I want to bitch about liberal media (and what's the point, really?) I'll point to CNN's Susan Roesgen's coverage of the Tea Parties, or their fact-checking a flipping SNL skit, or Chris Matthew's tingly leg, or God comments, or saying his job is to help the President succeed.  The list goes on and on.

Saying Fox News is hateful doesn't cut it, especially when the examples are based on their coverage of Van Jones and ACORN.  You can use those examples, but you have to show how Fox invoked hate.  That should be a tall order, but have at it.

Gee, ya think??  Or are you saying the administration doesn't really have to worry about it, as long as they can keep the story from getting out?   :whatever:

Oh, and thanks for pointing out, yet again, that Fox was successful in helping to boot Van Jones and de-fund ACORN.  Your pouting tears are just so damn tasty.
