- GhostyBoy, on 02/29/2008, -29/+436The jesters are making a stand while the press fails at it's responsibility to the public.
- ichchappycat, on 02/29/2008, -34/+262This has been happening a lot on Faux News lately hasn't it?
- thinman1189, on 02/29/2008, -27/+195I wish a lot more people would do this; and that they'd go more in depth about why while still on air.
- Groovemaster, on 02/29/2008, -54/+221Good to know there are still heroes in America.
- Look4Truth, on 02/29/2008, -34/+176Faux, CNN, and the other *cough* "news" stations are a bunch of lying propaganda feeders . But hey, it's important to know what's going on with Brittney and Paris while they ignore the failing economy, ya know?
What's more pathetic, the people behind the MSM propaganda machine or the brain dead zombies who provide their ratings? Hmm... - inactive, on 02/29/2008, -13/+105Propaganda: not that hard to spell
- inactive, on 02/29/2008, -51/+122I am as disgusted at Fox News as much as the next guy, but his "ramble" was pitiful. If you've got a national mic at your disposal, I hope you'd try a little better at making your point. It wasn't funny, it wasn't insightful -- it was just lazy.
- reaper527, on 02/29/2008, -7/+75i think people focus on fox news too much. yes, they are biased and report what they want to do, but cnn and any other mainstream media outlet are no different (aside from where their interests lie).
- sbader, on 02/29/2008, -14/+78Weren't you the one complaining about liberals being insulting name callers yesterday?
- RoboHobo, on 02/29/2008, -7/+65I'd say it leaves a lot to be desired.
- waynetheman, on 02/29/2008, -12/+70No. He called it a "parade of propaganda". Considering that propaganda is usually political, that Americans are pretty split politically, and that the current Presidential administration is clearly (and strongly) supported by Fox, I think it's pretty clear, even to the hosts, what the comment implied. That Fox News is a partisan shill for the Bush administration.
Care to engage that point? - inactive, on 02/29/2008, -18/+75No rebuttal of Lee Camp's point, huh? Just your opinion of his style.
We understand. - blackturtleus, on 02/29/2008, -6/+57The technique employed by CNN to avoid actual news is to excessively focus on local events of a tragic nature. For instance, a large fire in some city is tragic and hence has a high interest level, but has very little relevance on the national scope. Car chases, explosions, multi-car accidents, etc. don't really have a place on CNN assuming that the mission of CNN is deliver news that is relevant to informing watchers of news events of national importance. Side-stepping the reporting of important events is one thing and deceptive or misleading news stories is quite another... they do that too... and certainly Fox does so much more blatantly.
- NuFadZoo, on 02/29/2008, -15/+65This same guy showed his middle finger in our class photo.
- masterkenobi, on 02/29/2008, -5/+52hey look, it's part of the 19% that still approve of Bush!
....don't point and stare. And don't feed him. - crossgrain, on 02/29/2008, -20/+63I'd rather see the segment with the naked Star Trek chicks.
>:-( - DeadFrost, on 02/29/2008, -9/+51I miss the days of reporting where the news casters actually did research on the subject at hand and were better prepared with the questions they asked their guests. The caliber of the media in this day and age leaves little to be desired.
- roomforpanic, on 02/29/2008, -11/+48I'm sorry, I read 'naked Star Trek chicks' and the rest of the text went blurry. What was this about again?
- Arcesius, on 02/29/2008, -8/+45Bahahha. Nice catch, dude. Here's the quote:
"It really is a shame that people think that this is an acceptable way to act, even on the internet. People can always make a comment, without being vile and personal."
And here's the link to the digg article, in case you doubt it's authenticity:

- inactive, on 02/29/2008, -4/+40NOT ENOUGH.
- n0xin, on 02/29/2008, -3/+38TFA links to Montel Williams' clip too http://www.alternet.org/blogs/mediaculture/75800/
- isaactwito, on 02/29/2008, -15/+47How the ***** can you say that? This guy is willing to slam an entire news network while in the middle of their studio, while broadcasting live. That takes serious balls, and if you didn't know, Fox News is a bunch of horrible propaganda. Not many other news networks are even close to decent, but Fox is straight up evil. If you actually submit to the Fox ***** and this inconceivably terrible administration then please, for the good of the country, die in a nascar fire.
- Dukaso, on 02/29/2008, -2/+33Can we get a link to it?
edit: Answered my own question.
http://www.mediachannel.org/wordpress/2008/02/04/m ... - jj101, on 02/29/2008, -5/+35They wouldnt have tolerated a second more before cutting to something else. But I agree it would be nice.
- nblsavage, on 02/29/2008, -4/+31You're the one on the moral high horse. I myself don't make a pretense of being anything other than an cynical *****. :)
- draegloth, on 02/29/2008, -0/+26your dehumanization of jesters is offensive to me.
- inactive, on 02/29/2008, -6/+31Gospelofdumbass is just a right wing shill, he'll support anything they do no matter how unethical or dishonest.
It gets him a free membership over at LGF.
All you have to do is lose your integrity and ethics, and become an intolerant and ignorant neocon shill.
It's working for him.
See? I stuck up for you there GOT. - mogebier, on 02/29/2008, -5/+30Exactly. It's amazing all the Fox News bashing that goes on here on Digg. These College kids are all brainwashed into hating only Fox News, when it's all the media that is the problem.
- JanYpe, on 02/29/2008, -11/+35Rawr propaganda!
That wasn't a very useful clip. Maybe it made sense to people who'd watched whatever the hell came previous, but this segment did not make a point. Ok, you called Fox a bunch of propagandists.Good for you. What else is new? This "Pffft, Fox" display was a step above calling them all big stupidheads, it hardly deserves to be called "ripping in to them".
I get the reasoning behind it, I read the article. Looking at the clip, however, it just sounds like a lot of hot air. (queue the "well it WAS about Fox" jokes.) - rokinroj, on 02/29/2008, -4/+27don't kid yourself...sadly, for the vast majority, they still do.
- Goner, on 02/29/2008, -0/+22yes
- ChocChunkOaties, on 02/29/2008, -10/+32R.I.P Bill Hicks, Hunter S Thompson & Richard Pryor. Their legacies live on.
- GhostyBoy, on 02/29/2008, -7/+29In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. - George Orwell
- TremorX, on 02/29/2008, -2/+24Well, then, as a Republican you're a traitor to the constitution. There, happy?
- ozydingo, on 02/29/2008, -3/+25*****. Face it, you got caught as a hypocrite, now quietly step down before you dig your hole deeper by trying to rationalize your way out of it.
- nblsavage, on 02/29/2008, -5/+26So people in the news are some how different from "regular" people? A bit hyprocritical don't you think?
- clesters, on 02/29/2008, -19/+40Not that I am a Fox News fan, but for some reason I doubt that there was a "bunch of questions people had about the incident".
I think it is more likely that you are trying to retain the small amount of attention you got from being on the show by posting your clip on digg. The problem is that, like a reality TV star, nobody will remember who the ***** you are 30 seconds after they watch this. - briguymaine, on 02/29/2008, -7/+27awkward at best
- FreddieD, on 02/29/2008, -4/+24The only thing I found really funny was the fat ugly chick at the bottom try to get a word in edgewise to defend the station.
- scribat, on 02/29/2008, -1/+20You really are a whiny little bitch aren't you?
- Yoweigh, on 02/29/2008, -8/+26*****.
- inactive, on 02/29/2008, -1/+19It should be done to every news channel, not just Fox. They're all guilty of propagandist *****. Some are just more covert about their agenda.
- GreyICE, on 02/29/2008, -4/+21Haha! Nice catch of the Republican doublethink. Anything to justify their opinion.
- wbeavis, on 02/29/2008, -2/+19Didn't Montel's comments get him fired? Or his show cancelled?
- imikedaman, on 02/29/2008, -1/+18So by being taken off the air, you somehow lose your ability to speak? Is that what you're getting at? Because if not, you seem to have a remarkably inaccurate view of what freedom of speech entails.
You remind me of this one guy who thought that disabling the comments section on a website was a violation of freedom of speech. - Wargalas, on 02/29/2008, -10/+26Go to a firestation and you'll see them all over the place, you just haven't been looking around.
- yabos, on 02/29/2008, -2/+18I agree and it just shows what ***** the people who run FOX are. After Montel's speaking out on FOX's propaganda show, his show was effectively cancelled after being on the air for 17 years.
- iammii, on 02/29/2008, -1/+17Pics or it didnt happen...
- Yatata, on 02/29/2008, -4/+20he was fired and his 17-year show was canceled for speaking out. definition of FASCISM everybody - PLEASE watch Naiomi Wolf's take on what's happening to you guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0LvtQAQ6sc
