Hold on a second, FoxNoNews is complaining about the Patriot Act now? In 2008? Where the fuck have they been for the last 6+ years?

Oh wait a minute for most of that time the GOP ran things and Fox loved the Patriot Act back then.
See google for details

Now what could possibly be different today? Bashing the present Democratic Congress for a law passed by the previous GOP controlled Congress is more than deceptive it's downright hypocritical.

Yes because they're not listening to the American People they're listening to the lawyers and lobbyists on K street.

The verdict is worthless if the jury has been tainted.

FOX should change its name to GOP Broadcasting Network. As long as Congress was George W. Bush's rubber stamp FOX thought everything was cool. Their media was pitched to directly and deliberately support the Republican party, and has successively stifled anything critical to the president or his party. In fact, when Dick cheney threw out the ball to start the baseball season, he was booed by the crowd. Fox edited that out of their broadcast. During the recent Republican debates, Fox refused to broadcast Ron Paul's portion of the debate! Now, suddenly, they've found their voice? No, this is just more propaganda.

Journalists are supposed to be nonpartisan and present both sides of the issue. FOX broadcasting only shows one point-of-view. That is not news, that is propaganda.

Feric, do tell, what isn't ?

I guess the BBC isn't too bad a choice, but they are not as focused on our problems, actually Al Jazeera might not have been bad but they got bombed, so much for that.

Fox did not get bombed so............

They must be right.

Baaaaa Baaaaaa Baaaaaa

Sorry for the slight bit of sarcasm, but WE KNOW !

Now what ?

Thats the tragedy in this country. People always blame the next administration when their own is equally to blame.

Thats why I claim neither party as there has really been no difference in them for years.

Some day people will learn the value of a gridlocked congress when it comes to our freedom.

I think it is so ironic and telling about the news media. Its not only fox and the networks we can see it online as well. They help to create their own news and have very short memories as if we should follow suit.

Gotta love it when a judge speaks out!

Hey I like democracy now. one of the better news outlets imo. lou dobbs and olberman arent to bad either.

What I would really like to know is "exactly" why the shift? Maybe because this bs is so unpopular? I just about fell off my chair when I seen them actually put on a judge but there has to be something more to it than that I woudl think?
