Either you read blogs or you don't. If you are someone who watches Fox News and buys their rhetoric, you are not likely to be someone who reads a blog. If by chance you do find your way to one, won't you judge for yourself whether his cherry-picked quotes are exemplary of that blog's material?

True, this is all propaganda, and every major media outlet is relatively anti-blog because they view them as competition. You see it in sports, entertainment, and political news coverage. "The blogger lives in his parents' basement and writes whatever comes to his mind as he sits in his underwear facing a computer screen."

But it's kind of like teenagers and pornography. Eventually, if people want to see blogs, they're going to, and no amount of rhetoric from Fox is going to keep them from doing it (net-neutrality is another story, of course). So I really don't care if Fox makes inane claims about blogs. If knee-jerk conservatives read my blog, they'd likely be offended. Look what I wrote about Bushy! Clearly I'm a hate-monger like the DailyKos. Somebody hold me accountable!

But it's a crap site. Nowhere near enough hate there for mine.

Seriously though, how do the wingnuts keep getting away with all this projection? Fox is all hate all the time. Murdoch has made an empire on cheap hate with tits on page 3.

Ever look at the Fox News website?

Now showing tits is an act of hate? You're funny. Freedom means freedom to do all the hatemongering you want. Freedom means Bill O'Reilly can pontificate on what the hatemongering is all about. Freedom means reading blogs and/or watching Fox. You all speak as if you'd shut Fox down if you had the power. You should be welcoming the challenges put forth on the only MSM outlet that doesn't toe the Democratic Party line!

The conservatives seized power in this primarily progressive nation by turning the word "liberal" into a pejorative. Their weapon of choice was AM radio hate-mongers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. So effective was their propaganda that the majority of Americans joined in the chorus of boos against "evil liberals" while completely overlooking the fact that they were quite liberal themselves (e.g. they didn't harbor seething contempt for homosexuals, they cared about the environment, they believed that corporations and the super-wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes...).

Slowly the air escaped from the leaky conservative bubble that many were living in. Americans found their collective voice once again and began rejecting the conservative notion of a one-way propaganda channel and took to the internet to reclaim America. It's working too, and the GOP and their handmaidens at Fox News know this.

To counter our efforts, they once again rely on the tactics of lying and smearing any and all who don't goose-step in formation with the GOP. They will revile you, they will curse you. They will drag your good name through the mud on a foundation built on complete falsehoods. In short, they will stop at nothing until their dream of total hegemony in this nation is realized.

Fight back. Keep fighting back. Don't ever stop fighting back.

O'Biley and Faux News continue to be more irrelevant every day.

But I for one will not buy any product or service advertised on their asinine "News" programs.

boycott companies that advertise on this squawking mouthpiece of the pigs in the White House. SUPPORT IT and END FASCISM!

Who the HELL is that awful blonde b*t*h they had on during this segment? She shouts down anyone with an opposing viewpoint, berates them as traitors and just won't STFU!

Which means we have the upper hand, as long as we keep saying what we're saying. I like this!

All scrambling around like bugs in a heating frying pan... I love the woman who talks about one sidedness of blogs? Is she kidding? Where is there EVER a left viewpoint on faux or any of those radio spin shows?
