Fucking Fox News Setting the Agenda

[Emit]

It's no news to anyone with a brain that Fox is a Republican mouthpiece with an agenda. They have been after Obama for months now. We all know that. It's pretty obvious.
It's also obvious that Fox has been setting the agenda for some time with regard to the Democratic race.

Watch this video. It chronicles how what begins at Fox ends up at MSNBC, CNN, AP, etc.:




What starts on Fox is also echoed by Hillary and her supporters. It appears to be a collaborated effort.

When Stephanopoulos showed up on Hannity's hate talk show yesterday taking notes in preparation for tonight's debate, it was a blatant move on the part of ABC to collaborate with Fox in an effort to bring Obama down. When I heard the discussion with Hannity and Stephanopoulos, not a word about Hillary was mentioned. It was all about Obama.

Further, what is disheartening is the racist undertones that bubble up from the Fox agenda, spread throughout M$M, and land at our doorstep here at DU via Hillary supporters.

13. cheeky boy. do you care to provide links to examples of me having done that?

or to obama personally having done that?
got any evidence?
part of what george said tonight was a flat-out LIE...and Clinton supported it.
glad to see that 'anything goes' in your book.
thanks for the insult, btw, so mature of you.

10. Fox *hearts* Hillary

and you're fine with that

[Danger Mouse]

14. and when i take him to task for it...

he tells me to shove it up my ass :P

[Emit]

15. Is that what that was about?

No bother, the casual observer is not well known for deep thinking, hence the ad hominem, no doubt.

On a more serious note, I am truly dismayed that our fellow DUers are now accepting of Fox News and they are okay with Hillary's new found friends and supporters there, including of course, Murdock et al. It is an important lesson in human nature, I suppose, that some will side with their enemies as a means to an end. Selling their souls. For what? That's what I don't get.

8. Yes, and FUX Noise will CONTROL THE NEWS FEEDS during the Democratic Convention.

Are we gonna just sit back and let them fuck us over?

[Emit]

16. Swamp Rat !

Damn, I forgot about that. They are, aren't they?

We had an issue in Nevada, you may recall, where Fox was going to host the debate in LV. A concerted effort on the part of voters in NV, MoveOn.org, bloggers like MyDD and Kos, and Robert Greenwald (the guy who also created the video I posted in the OP) and such were successful in pressuring the local party to nix Fox. Edwards, IIRC, was the first candidate to bow out. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0307/3097.html

Wonder what it would take to get that going now? I think I'll check around and see if anyone is making any noise about this.

[Swamp Rat]

19. Something needs to be done sooner rather than later.

FUX Noise should not even be permitted in the building since they are not a real news organization.

I also wonder if the DLC has anything to do with the decision to let FUX Noise control the news feeds. After all, Hannity controlled part of the debate tonight by proxy.

22. Time to write and call Howard Dean

I'm on it. :patriot:

[Arrowhead2k1]

12. Holy fuck I'm ignorant!

I heard you guys telling me that Hannity was feeding the question to George. But I thought that was just speculation. I had no idea that he was actually on his show taking pointers!! W-T-F!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

This is just incredible! Where have I been. What the fuck is he thinking?! Unbelievable. SHOCKINGLY unbelievable!:crazy:

[Emit]

23. Not only that, George went on this NewsMax columnist's show, too

Newsmax columnist Steve Malzberg:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/16/13329/3501/457/496866

Later Steph went on a lesser known show (at least to me) and was asked these questions. Here's the Audio

Same Question

William Ayers is a man who was head of the Weather Underground, a radical group in the 60s and 70s, set bombs at the Capitol, set bombs at the Pentagon, and was quoted in the New York Times oddly enough, ironically on September 11 before obviously the events of that day, saying that he didn't go far enough, and he doesn't regret it at all, and he wished he could have done more. Your campaign has described your relationship with William Ayers as "friendly." How could a man running for the presidency of the United States possibly have anything to do with, or have anything but disdain for a man who did what he has done to this country?

Stephanopoulos responsed to the last query: "It's a damn good question."

Steve Malzberg's Bio

You will also find Steve regularly stopping by Fox & Friends and "Heartland" with John Kasich on the Fox News Channel. He has also appeared on Hannity & Colmes, Cavuto, The O’Reilly Factor, Dayside, and other shows on Fox, CNN and Court TV.

Steve is also a sought after speaker and a columnist for Newsmax.com. You can read his work and sign up for his free e-mail updates at www.newsmax.com/malzberg

So George Stephanopoulos is out there chatting with Newsmax columnists and Sean Hannity...

17. Your tone is divisive. Obama wants us to be nice to Republicans

And Fox, by extension.

[AX10]

18. Welcome to DU.

We need good people like to around here to fight the good fight.

[Emit]

21. That greeting is akin to Hannity's "You're a Great American" greeting that all his callers fall in

line with when they call him. Hmmmm....

[Change has come]

20. lol

fuck you. I mean, welcome back to DU. :hi:

[Emit]

24. Your concern is noted, lol

I see Hillary has taken quite a liking to Fox these days. You should be very proud of her extension of good will toward her new pals.
