Fox News.com is pond scum. There is no other description for what they have done.

[ClusterFreak]

They have a picture on their homepage of Ambassador Stevens being dragged away by Libyans after the attack. When you look at the picture, it's unclear whether he is alive or dead at the time. It's also unclear whether he is being carried away by supporters hoping to help him or by others seeking to harm him. Regardless, Fox has IMO committed an utterly shameful indignity to the late Ambassador and to his grieving family and friends, in posting this picture on their website.

Words fail. No link to the page will be provided. Emoticons would diminish the intensity of disgust we all should feel at what they have done.

1. So why do you go there?

[Posteritatis]

3. Enough people buy what Fox says that it's worth being aware of how they're spinning things. (nt)

[ClusterFreak]

4. Why do I go there????

Cuz I love their fair and balanced approach to reporting the news. You know....'we report, you decide', that whole thing. Why do you think?

Ask a stupid question....

[ClusterFreak]

10. I am one of them??????

Is 'pondscum' a term of endearment to you?

Listen Senator McCarthy's Bizarro World Doppleganger, I don't need to prove my progressive bonafides to you. Least of all to you. You can take your paranoid troll fantasy and stuff it. No fucking shit this new outrage is no worse..... so what is your point? You don't have one, only a simpering, sanctimonious opinion that isn't worth the tiny corner of cyberspace it currently inhabits. And by the way....what part of my post in any way endorses, applauds or promotes the right wing hackery of Fox Fucking News? As for my initial reply to your utterly moronic comments...did I really need to add a 'dripping with sarcasm' emoticon at the end for you to understand my point? Apparently I did. My bad.

Oh BTW....I am alerting on your ass as soon as I post this response.

12. Good reply,

14. Thanks :)

6. I go to their website too . . .

about once or twice a week. I think it's important to know what the enemy is up to. I wouldn't assume that the OP is a rightie just because of a link to faux news.

13. It's my social & civic duty to know what crap they spew - especially since Limbaugh is the GOP head.

I've never ignored Bullies - NEVER - if you ignore them they sinisterly get away with their evil. You can't ignore termites, cancer, bullies, or rad rw'ers - they just wreck havoc. Believe me they don't want anyone who understands their evil listening to them.

2. Theyre just following master limbaughs instructions...

9. Fucking disgusting. Bad for his relatives

There is no need to put that there. Fox believes that the more graphic the picture is the more electoral damage it will somehow do to Obama, for some strange reason, as if Obama had killed the man.

Pathetic.

[cynatnite]

11. They are trying to frame the narrative as malevolent...

Reports are that he was carried away to and then driven to a hospital where he was worked on for 90 minutes. Some people there were actually trying to help.

[reformist2]

15. The people at Fox News are sick. And they talk about values, decency?!? They have none.

[Cleita]

16. They are beyond pond scum.

Pond scum is harmless and actually provides food to some species. FoxNews is dangerous. It's radioactive. I'm thinking it's like nuclear waste. It will take generations to clean up the damage they have done.

17. Faux, like all mainstream media, is propaganda, they sell emotional responses not rational thinking

Replace "Propaganda" with "Mainstream Media" in this definition of propaganda:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

"Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.

As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political or religious agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare."

18. K & R because exploitation and ugliness like any cancer

must be exposed addressed head on.

19. Seriously, don't you think you're being a bit harsh in your description?

I mean pond scum, although annoying, can provide nutriets for many creatures living in a pond.

Just saying

[ClusterFreak]

20. I will admit, I have been a little unfair to pond scum.

[LynneSin]

21. Well, what's the hold up - the pond scum is waiting for their apology
