Fox News,the unbalanced and unstable news channel,is being shot at from both sides.The left,will never love Faux News,and the right,are upset,as Fox's usual hatred of decency, has in their view slipped.The pitchfork wielders, are amassing.

Well I just don't get it..as from all reports Fox,was attempting to cast Obama, as a bogey figure of the Marxist-Leninist,illegal alien,Jihadi type,right up to the time of his victory.Apparently Conservatives are angry that Sarah Palin was given a tough interview by Fox,in the election run up.It seems that in the conservative mind,unless all of the media is propagandising night and day,for a right wing government,then it is being run by a liberal elite.Go also to 'A Boycott of Fox News By Conservatives http://newscope.com/ncWP/?=1126 ..to read about the freedom loving right,and their hatred of any media output,that doesn't match up to the very high standards of mind control,and corporate bias,that the right take for granted.
What is even worse is that the left,dare to have opinions...its so unpatriotic, to corporations and weapon makers..

Finally, the truth is coming out. American does need to wake up and see how we've been screwed by the right wing.

Funny you should mention it..... I looked in on Fox right after
President Elect Obama was officially declared the winner and
thought they seemed subdued about their loss. Almost neutral
in the way they were reporting. Thought it was just that I was
tired. Well of course now I will have to watch a little and see
what they're up to, although I suspect they just know which side
the bread is buttered on.

Thank you Rad Panda!!!

Yeah, and Bill O'Reilly would like us to think he's changed too. It would take a lot to change my opinion of Faux.

Apparenty members of the invited panel,on election night,appeared creastfallen.I know it is cheap to luxuriate in the misery of others,but I will allow myself the indulgence, of searching out film of this on air misery.
There is a hot rumour,that under his wife's influence,Murdoch is moderating slightly.Is this what democracy comes down to?We (US UK,Europe and the rest of the world)need a media,that is independent of government and business..a real free press.

Hey, I posted this very same story -from AlterNet- 4 days ago...

And, since we're friends, I sent you a message, pal, on Saturday Nov 8th

with the post in it - to read/comment on:

You haven't even been over at my post of it; really out of fairness, you could've let me know you posted the same thing!

Alba ~ Apparently 3 of you posted the same story around the same time. Radic posted 2 hours after you. This happens all the time and wires cross. Also, C2 doesn't always tell you there's another story out there even when you check for duplicates. I guess the main thing is the viewers get the news. But I thank you all for the submission.

I can't answer for The Radic, but I don't read my emails throughout the day and miss timely information. It's the nature of the system we use, how many friends we have that view our posts before others, and when viewers decide to actually read their mail notifications.

A TOTALLY enjoyable read and vindication for the painful election process we just went through with the right-wing garbage we listened to and fought. The squealing and outrage from the spoiled Faux News and right-wing crowd is predictable and news to my ears.

I saw Tucker Carlson the day after the election with his twisted face and downcast mouth. All he could say was he didn't understand why everyone around the world and the US was cheering so much, and he didn't understand why more air time wasn't given to the loser, McCain, after the election. Poor Tucker. Like the Faux News crowd, they drank too much Kool-Aid and just didn't have the pulse of the public in mind as they strutted their stuff these past 8 years and thought we wouldn't mind them flounting their wealth and theft of the country in our faces.

All dogs have their day, and I'm enjoying this dog day afternoon for however long it lasts. Thanks The Radic!

We're all gloating and it is funny and enjoyable. "read it weep' thing and all. But I really wish that we'd get behind eradicating these groups. That that is now our next mission to work on. I'm seeing in the media Sarah Palin this, Sarah Palin that. ANd I know exactly what is going on. The guise is her pretty face, youth and her Sex. o one is talking about the reasons other than her ignorance that turned America off. No one talks about this woman's policies and beliefs. She is the more polished leader of the Fools.
We need and should get to ridding our country of these types of people. Never ever allowing them any kind of power whatsoever. We're beyond this way of thinking and living. Enough is enough.
I really felt ashamed 'for' the Republican party. I pitied them. And I hope that through the eight years of Obama's Presidency and what will emerge will be worthy opponents. Where we are just so well rounded and respect one another and there isn't such vitriol, mean-spiritedness,and ridicule!

Sharon ~ I feel the same way. There are many democrats who welcome Sarah making a run for 2012. The more she stays in the limelight, the more people will remember her ditzy grasp of geography, world affairs, cruelty toward animals, disregard of women's needs and right-wing nonsense. Keeping her in the news is merely a distraction...and foolish for the republicans.

I think the Rs/so-called conservatives, as they understand themselves to be, know themselves not. Because the true guiding hand for 'their' movement remains hidden, too heinous to identify and own. They may be down, it would be foolhardy to count them out. They are dangerous.
