[TomCADem]

Fox News is once again acting as a 24/7 attack ad for the RNC:

In recent days, Scott Brown, the Republican nominee in the special election for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, has made numerous appearances on Fox News to raise funds for his campaign, solicit volunteers, and peddle misinformation. In the wake of the November 2009 elections, Fox News provided airtime to GOP and conservative candidates, and its on-air personalities celebrated and shilled for them.

In Fox News appearances, Brown encouraged viewers to visit his website
On Fox, Brown encouraged viewers to visit his campaign website to find out "how to help with donating and volunteering." In appearances on America's Newsroom, On the Record, and Hannity, Brown pointed viewers to his campaign website, solicited funds for his campaign, and also cited RedInvadesBlue.com, where, he said, "we have a money bomb right now that's hitting ... and you can help me fight back against the machine." Fox News hosts Martha MacCallum and Greta Van Susteren said they invited Democratic candidate Martha Coakley to appear on their Fox News shows.

3. Myself and others have been minimized and poo pooed around here.....

for years for trying to expound and inform people on the negative effects of FUX NEWS 24/7 propaganda. It is an entity that disseminates pure racist, rightwing bullshit propaganda to the masses on a 24 hour news cycle.

It's a dangerous and effective tool that has way too much power.

5. Its Amazing - Fox Has Two 2012 Presidential Contenders On Its Payroll...

In Huckabee and Palin. Plus, Fox also has Karl Rove on its payroll. What exactly is the difference between Fox and the RNC? Fox News is essentially a 24/7 free attack ad.

4. Scott Brown doesn't want to stand up for his own ammendment that

would have allowed hospital workers to refuse contraceptive care for victims of rape because of religious beliefs. his ammendment would have even had woman transported to other hospitals if no one could treat them. His ammendment was defeated and he ultimately signed the bill without it. But he still believes he is right and said so in Worcester a couple of days ago. He still believes in the right to refuse treatment because of religious beliefs at hospitals and had his daughters at a press conference yesterday to show their distain for Martha coakley even having one daughter, Alia, say that women don't want to get involved in politics because of people like Martha Coakley. And what did Martha Coakley do? She simply has asked Brown about his ammendment. And she did so without ever mentioning his daughters or Brown's family whatsoever. And Brown becomes unhinged during the debate talking about his daughters and how could Coakley accuse him of not caring for women. So Brown gets his daughters out front to attack Coakley. But the question remains. Why did you offer this ammendment. He has never answered it.
