Fox News is America's Pravda

Honestly, can you believe this shit? You just have to laugh, and laugh some more, at the whole "fair and balanced" thing. A free press is a cornerstone of American democracy, a key safeguard of liberty, but there's nothing free about this:

Fox News commentator Tony Snow has decided to accept the White House press secretary's job after top officials assured him that he would be not just a spokesman but an active participant in administration policy debates, people familiar with the discussions said yesterday.

All you really need to know about the relationship between Fox News and the Bush White House is that Snow has gone from Bush I speechwriter to syndicated columnist to Fox News radio and TV host to, now, Bush II press secretary.

Fox News is this White House's "official" media outlet. The Soviet Union had one. Indeed, all dictatorships do. What does that say about the Bush presidency?

Remember that when you watch or listen to Fox News, if you really must, you're not getting the Truth or any sincere attempt to discover the Truth, nor impartial journalism, nor anything in the way of a free press, you're getting Bush's "truth".

If that doesn't concern you, you may want to seek professional help.

  • Yeah, your completely right. How dare conservatives be represented in the national media. Its not like you saw anyone in the Clinton Administration become the chief Washington correspondent and host of an ABC Sunday Morning political show. Oh wait, that's exactly what happened. At least Tony Snow was considered a commentator, Stephanopoulos is treated as an objective journalist. The great thing about free markets is that you don't have to watch Fox News, just as I don't have to watch ABC news. Just as fox news and ABC are free to hire and cover whoever they choose. Quit crying over your lost media monopoly.

  • Liberal Media,

    It's all corporate shillary,
    Snow will continue to Lie for the President and that's what it's become. No one cares about finding a solution it's all about making sure your side wins.
