So why is Fox

So why is Fox not discussing the sanity rally after sponsoring and underwriting the insanity rally?

They had well over double the folks there.

A rhetorical question as you know perfectly well why they are staying mum.

I don't have cable, so I don't know what is or isn't being covered. I didn't see the Fox talking heads show yesterday morning either. It is, however, covered on Fox News web site.

That is interesting. I would say it's because they are suppressing the truth as usual. Making it look insignificant, and re-running images of TP events. That I have seen on Fox.

Where has the TP gone, anyways? Have the tools been put back in the toolbox now that they've served their purpose?

Fox continues to gain market share.

Sometimes, I think fried sh*t on a stick could gain market share if it were advertised heavily enough. Fox has a perverse notion of what is objective or "fair and balanced" reporting, and Beck's knowledge of history is worse than a ninth grader, primarily because he cant sift the facts from the conspiracy theories. I imagine that it might be possible for an objective observer to believe that Fox is fair and balanced, but I doubt it. Rupert knows that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.

Regards,

D-Ray

Come on, D-Man, they ain't THAT bad.

And Beck brings up points which are ignored by most. I was impressed when he mentioned the Fabians, which is probably lost on 95% of Americans.

Don't attack Beck, or the information he produces...attack his conclusions.

For what it's worth, a little Beck goes a long way with me. But he still has a point, at times.

Open your mind,

Chas
