I agree 100% i think the internet will be the future, for common people to be heard. Not all of us can make it to protests, or sit ins or go to washington to speak our minds. We do however have a voice and need to be heard, keep up the great work!!! Everyones voice counts!!! Even over the internet !!!

Couldn't have done it without Obama's freeze out of FOX news.

I'm so proud of all the good people who achieved such amazing results. Thanks to all of you for having integrity and backing it up with energy and action. You make us all proud. Congratulations!

~~ They say the loudest voice often makes the difference in a dispute spin their way; I guess If you gather enough left-wing nut jobs to raise that kind of hell you'll probably see something to that effect every time.
~~ I Only have one question for All You Left Wing Socialist Loons... **** If the democrats' can't stand up to the Fox News Channel, then HOW IN THE HELL can they protect us from the Islamic Terrorist Threat both domestic and abroad???

Bill O'riely is another anti democracy advocate just like Rush; Hannity ;Coulter and G.W.B. CORPORATIONS and they are all against decent wages and any Christ like charity, they believe only in gr$$d {they all should be put under in a water-boarding session and questioned about how much money it takes to sell out the American people} 70% of the national wealth is owned by the top 10% ; 85% of the wealth is owned by the top 15% of the greedy: That leaves the 85% of the rest of us figuring out how to earn and how to survive on the 15% of the wealth. They all hated F.D.R.! AND THE BASTARDS NEVER ARE PRESSURED ON HAVING TO GO TO WAR BUT THEY WILL SET UP THE SYSTEM TO SEND THE DESPERATE TO DIE FOR THEIR GAIN AND GREED; WHOM THEY OPPRESS AND SIT BACK AND LAUGH AND PLAY GOLF AND GRAB ASS IN THE BATHROOM STALLS:{ I recommend The Peoples history unabridged by Howard Zinn}

I would like to see Bill-O & Kieth get down to the real facts without th spin.

"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind." ~John F. Kennedy

We live in a state of corporate fascism, treating this planet as business in liquidation, exhausting its resources and destroying its environment. Man is but one species amongst billions of other species on this planet. No one gave man dominion on this planet except man himself. How egotistic has he become? Nature’s god is angry at us. Shame ---Shame…
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988, bowing to pressure from the right, by abolishing the “Fairness Doctrine". The fairness doctrine was the law of the land since 1932. Abolishing the fairness doctrine allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts now are right wingers. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process. Demand public finance of election.

This stack of sane comments gives me hope. thanks

When my four fathers...

Ignorance isn't always bliss...

Ignorance isn't always bliss...

These aren't journalists and hardly reporters. Fox News is full of commentators so don't expect the truth. Expect their opinion and they lean right by the way.

Free and Biased news...

Gotta love how typical headline news on the fox network consists of stories on local cheerleaders, turtles crossing the road, Bush taking another trip to the ranch, bike safety, church gatherings,,....meanwhile it appears as though not a single person has died in Iraq.

Rupert Murdoch has destroyed journalism. If you want real news, you have to turn to a foreign news outlet or the internet. Sad huh ?

Just like President Bush, Fox News is an oxymoron.

Fox has shown time and again its willingness to ignore facts while perpetuating the right-wing agenda. This is a proveable Murdoch edict, and is the reason why I and my intelligent, insightful and compassionate friends won't waste a minute of our very precious lives watching Fox "News".

Anyone who claims that Fox is unbiased or anything but right-wing and Republican in its mission statement is exactly the kind of sheep that ol' Rupert, O'Reilly and their miserable cohorts love to maniupulate (Genti, let me phrase this in a language you can understand: Baaaaaa!)

I refuse to be treated like a sheep, and will therefore NEVER turn to Fox for anything but The Simpsons. It'll be interesting to see how Fox alters its "news" once Bush and his gang of treasonous criminals finally lose their grip on our country. My only hope is that it won't be too little, too late...

This country was founded on hypodescent rules and beliefs! This is the driving force behind racial views and inequalities in this country. The racist propaganda will not stop in this county until America rids itself of these bigoted organizations like the billion dollar FOX!

Like it or not, according to surveys of cable news network viewers,Fox News dominates during most hourly time segments. By suggesting that we shy away from participation on their channel we will be removing ourselves from the marketplace of ideas and left to broadcasting companies where no one is watching. Not very smart IMHO if we believe our ideas will stand on their own merits and pursuade those that are still formulating their own opinions about an issue.

So you think Fox News is fair and balanced.
Since when has the "right wing" become fair and balanced?

After seeing all the videos on fox attacking people left and right is really hard to believe they can tell themselves that what they say is legitimate on a news tv show.Its just crazy almost to the point of being hilarious to see these news casters say all this stuff.For example fox attacking black america, cutting the guy off when he critized the police of being violent and racist.There all just racist robots. There all the same and as for fox being fair and balanced.Its just looks like a saturdaynight live, news episode. You just cant take them serious, not meaning to let everything slide. Cant believe people even watch and say there watching news.Watching John Stewart is more accurate and serious than fox.

Thank you for your heroic pursuit of 1st amendment rights. Continue to shine the light on these sociopaths.

The facts as presented by FuxNews are so blatantly propaganda for the chief Nut, Bush, and his company of gangsters, that it can only be comforting to those who have no separation form the madness. They are in some ways "brain washed", and may be beyond repair.

I was at a dental clinic where they had FOX on and they spend more segment times on some car being pulled out of a lake than news in Iraq which was one segment. They even had a report on the scene giving moment by moment updates including the crane being attach to the car but not moving for a couple of those segments, then a couple minutes on Iraq which we are loosing and back to no movement of the crane. I guess FOX doesn't want to emphasize the failure of policy in Iraq for too long because the lack of movement of the car crane was more important for people to know.

Journalism: direct presentation of facts or occurrences with little attempt at analysis or interpretation. The moment a journalist gives his own personal opinion about a subject then it looses the very base upon which journalism should exist: objective, free and independent.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me sick to my stomach. Fox News(News my ass...) lies, decieves, and is so biased, its not even funny how obvious that is, and I am ashamed to know that my generation either does not know, or does not care that they are being lied to half the time, or having facts omitted, facts that are essential to getting a whole story out of the pile of crap Fox comes up with...and to think that kids in school are actually TOLD to watch Fox News, so they can learn current events, I am seriously ashamed to say I used to watch Fox News when I was in middle school...

Republicans are invited on CNN and MSNBC and are "allowed" to express their opinion. But on FakeNews Bill O'Reilly or Shaun Hannity will never allow a Democrat to speak freely ... either they will cut him off rudely, scream over his voice, tell him to shut up or cut off his mike. That's the difference between a real news channel and FakeNews.

Oh! By the way "Adam" I read your immature post above. I think Eve is calling you. Hurry up, she's speaking with the snake right now ... or is it with the teddy bear? Sorry, I never can remember how that crazy fairy tale goes again.

So, Republicans go to liberal biased channels to debate (i.e. MSNBC and CNN), but Democrats aren't man (or woman) enough to face a conservative biased channel. That's democracy.

About global warming:

Extremes of temperature are NOT the issue. It is the AVERAGE temperature that it IS the issue. Anyone who believes a cold spell is any kind of proof AGIANST global warming needs a course in basic statistics.

2. The goofy ass who makes the claim that we should be more worried about "Ahmed the bomber rather than some stupid glacier" knows zero about hydrology. Glaciers are like "money in the bank" in terms of a water supply. When they dissapear the result can be devastating to a local watershed dependent on that glacier for groundwater recharge.

These fools on television jump around to keep you entertained. Sober science is about as far from their mentality as a pig is from performing calculus. Investigate the science your self. Don't listen to any idiot in the media. They all just want to keep you entertained. They are a useless waste of your time.

I believe everyone should try to be gay and that every female should have one abortion. I believe that 6 year olds should be taught how to put on a condom there first day of school. There is no GOD we all came here by magic! And none of our four fathers were christian. None of them could even spell Bible. I was reading some of these comments and thought I would throw out some more DNC propaganda!! Oh Al Gore uses more oil in a day than I do in a year but yet he still has the BALLS to tell me "I" need to stop?? What an idiot and to think he was the previous choice of the DNC?? Keep up the good work Democrats... I pray Hillary is your choice in 08!!

Fox is ran by pseudo Christians. Be intelligent enough; and do not let them blow smoke up your back-door-{good-buddy}.. Or are you that gullable?

love to see the loud voice of fox news the living prove of racist america's..
the more extrem they get in their hatred.. its the sign of weakness.. Good LUCK fOX

Find out whats really going on!

I am a German that has lived in America for a while now. I go back every summer to visit friends and find their attitude about America has gotten proggressively worse.
Americans to them are narrow-minded and extremely ignorant to the outside world. I shutter to think what they would think of the Fox Noise Channel and all its uber-religious, arrogant, and nationalisitc propaganda.
At least in the Soviet Union and other places people knew they were watching propaganda (not that the USSR in any way good). Here people think theyre watching news, but unknowingly are brainwashed.
PS im not a democrat liberal or communist.
im a moderate. (right-wing in europe)
Its not about political parties and bullshit...
its about honest journalism vs. propaganda

How come white people dont have college funds and all white churches. The black community is just making racism worse in America. and yes i am black

No, it is the religious right that gave them (Rep) the power to win at the poles, (probably were influenced by money however) It was a colaboration of several powerful groups: fundamentalist Christians who don't understand or tolerate foreign religions, Jewish Americans (traditionally democratic) who switched and are for anyone who will fight against the perceived enemies of a greedy Israel, and just plain ignorant Americans who don't read, are glued to their tv sets after they get off work and couldn't decipher the difference between justified retaliation against Afganistan and unjustified aggression against Iraq.

It is obvious in general that those in power simply don't reflect their constituents, they represent the money. A few people have mentioned this already here. Money, which is supposed to be a lubricant to help make life easier, is being used to bribe and corrupt those in power.

If you are rewarded for lying, even if you frown on lying, you will be more likely to lie. This sort of corruption should be rooted out, as we are only responding to the result, not the cause of it. What is the cause of it...? I don't know! Do you?

There should always be suspicions of those in power. It is a necessary safeguard to ensure the integrity of our country, regardless of whether they are doing a good job or not. Where the hell is our integrity these days!?!?

Being swedish, I just wanna express my point of view on this.
First of, Fox News (we get that over here too) really is a big reason americas got such a bad reputation in europe, since it expresses values that are intolerant, narrow-minded and often plain absurd.

And since the current government won by a semi-democratic election, a large part of the america population must share these views of their fellow man.

I mean, for example. If the democrats started a party here in sweden, they would be flagged as a religios far right-wing group, and probably wouldnt get many votes at all.
Imagine how the republicas/Fox News look compared to that! :D

Dan, I doubt you will read to respond to this but I don't mean to say that CNN skews that much to the left, its just that all of them skew in any direction their investors want them too. That is what Micheal Moore was saying. If the people who give you money don't want you to investigate Iraq you wont, thats why we are there. Likewise, CNN gets advertising from Pfizer and Merk, so there wont be any positive reports on the benefits of universal health care by CNN, because if they do they lose their advertising.

Its not so much the direction of the skew than the fact that its all skewed towards big business, because for the most part the media is no longer owned and run by the public as the many smaller stations and outlets have been swallowed by Time Warner and ABC-Disney so our news comes from 4 sources instead of many.

FOX is the worst because it is in all honesty the only station that puts on a conservative front, which is not a bad thing, its just that because they are unique they attempt to draw more viewers by getting people who will say shocking and head turning things like O'Reilly and even the weather man gets in on it. If tonight FOX found out it could make more money by being a hardcore liberal news outlet, it would be one tomorrow. Right and left are just fronts that these companies put on to make money because thats what we the consumer want. News only consists of facts about what is going on.

My point, stop watching network news, read, its faster its easier, it doesn't try to suck you in to keep you watching the next half hour that turns out to be the same thing you just watched. But don't read from just CNN, read Mother Jones magizine, Adbusters is amazing for social commentary, read the Nation. And by all means watch PBS its the most neutral source there is, no matter what the right says PBS is incredibly unbiased, its only reality that has a liberal bias.

I sighned the petition and am very prod of it

How can anyone say that CNN skews to the left even near as much as FOX"news" skews to the right? Did anyone see the blowout between Michael Moore and Wolf Blizer? You would never see such an argument between anyone on FOX and Rush Limbaugh, or any mouthpiece for the right. Afterall FOX"news" is just another mouthpiece for the right.

I think so many people miss the point when they start trying to label one media outlet 'liberal' or one media outlet 'conservative'. There are no news network on television that responsibly report the truth, at least not that I can find. So what if one is left and one is right, each of them have talking heads that only say things that infuriate people driving a wedge deeper between us keeping us from paying attention to what is most important, progress.

Each news organization, and CNN is just as bad as FOX, has only one group that it considers it self responsible to, its investors. And it just so happens that for each network these investors include CEO's and lobbyists for insurance companies, oil companies, pharmaceuticals, you name it. How convenient it is also when companies can tailor their employees retirement options to include the stock of other companies that want to mantain control over and call it 'diversification'. The mainstream media is only concerned with the almighty dollar.

Now by no means do I mean to say that CNN and FOX are on the same level, because FOX deliberately changes the facts and abuses minorties and people who disagree with them, but CNN is bad too. If you don't believe me watch Micheal Moore's interview with Wolf Blitzer (by the way I'm not a Moore fan) because there is a moment when Wolf is arguing with him about CNN's reporting and sponsership where he says that CNN "is a business" and think about that in context with the idea of an independent media that the constitution garuntees and the fact that the airwaves are supposed to be publicly owned. There are several other interviews that Wolf and other CNN say similar things including that they are the "voice of the people" which they are not.

But, to wrap this up, stop watching network news if you want to see your news watch anything on PBS. Otherwise listen to programs like Democracy Now, read the Nation, heck if you want partisanship listen to Rush at least he portrays what he says as opinions not passing them of for the news.

I love it Faux Noise is getting a little "We the People"

Anyone that watches and believe anything said on FOX-TV, news and/or non news programing most have been a victim of a lobomization at early age. Murdock has forgotten that no matter how much devaluated american dollars he/and the so called religious right have in their Assets columns, none of it will save their children's children and their children's children when the planet desides that IT had enough of our abuses... and all the scientific data that they want to smear and make look like a panic attack, comes to be. AND HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WILL COME TO BE. Changes on the Planet Earth have happened without our direct provocation... well we have and ARE RIGHT NOW CONTINUING WITH PROVOCATIONS NEVER BEFORE DONE TO PLANET EARTH. REMEMBER... EVERYTHING VIBRATES. EVERYTIME WE CAUSE AN EXPLOTION... THE REST OF THE PLANET VIBRATES... AND WE ARE BOMING THE PLANET ALL OVER. REMEMBER... THE PLANET EARTH IS ROUND. ONE BIG ROUND MASS. USE YOUR BRAINS TO THINK, NOT TO PLAN HOW YOUR NEXT MILLION IS COMING TO BE PART OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. YOUR GRAND AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WILL NOT HAVE ANY USE FOR YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.... THERE WILL NOT BE A LIVABLE PLANET TO BUILD AND SPEND IT ON, STUPID!

When I saw that video I was speechless. How can people be that stupid and wrong about globle warming.It's not a hocs or something people make up its real. I don't find it funny or nice about what they said about Al Gore. Al Gore is a terrific man and does a lot for the planet. Al Gore is a person I look up to and admire and for people to basicly bash him,well their just stupid.
I can't believe that fox would say that. What are they tring to say that anyone who believes in globle warming or thinks Gore is a great person they are stupid or what? Globle warming is no joke it's real it's out there and if we don't do anything well I'm affraid of whats going to appen.

Democrats may not always be right, but it's comforting to know that so many are trying to do what they feel is morally correct. Keep at it for the good of America at a minimum.

Isn't it interesting that H. Clinton was hosted by the owner of Fox for a fundraiser. It surely compromised her cadidacy for me. Is she wants to sully herself with an Israeli apologist, that's fine. But I will not vote for her....any time.

I am from Germany, but I spend the last school year in California. What I found is that American news (not only Fox) are only focussed on the sensation and the entertainment of it, not the education. When you watch "__World__ News" on ABC, you get stories of Florida families who renovate their homes. Sadly enough, most viewers are more interested in such "news" than actual political journalism.
Well, now I'm back in Germany and enjoy the Tagesschau, that's some serious news.

Anyone with an open mind and some intelligence can tell by watching Fox News that it is biased political propaganda. Grow up, conservative kiddies!

Fox news and it's old news talking heads are mentally challenged given their proven mental ability's and their rank distortions of the truth on all matters! Their conservative republican messages are all ties into fear smear and intimidation... Take bill O who fit's the typical profile of a school yard bullie who see's almost everything in my way or the high way, but what's missing from his show is a real man who would bitch slap Billy back over his chair... And the very next thing the world would see is Billy on his knees crying for his pathetic life... It's typical of the republican mentality to think their tuff and talk a big story until called out to defend their country and put their life on the line... I believe they are no more than judas goats trying to lead this country down the road to a totally fascist form of government! Their disdain for Human Rights, like their overwhelming need for everyone to fear our enemies and their total need for security that has to infringe on our Constitutional right, and then give no security by leaving our borders wide open since 911... I believe Nov. 08 will shut down their game plan and hopefully it wont start a civil war in this country by them trying to stop the will of the American people!

I served as an intelligence analyst in the marine core during the iraq war in 2003. The battalion intelligence department was ordered to follow the fox news account of 9-11. The opionins of those I worked with, including myself at the time, were that fox news provided the best information concerning public opinion and that the opinions were "fair and balanced". Even out of curiosity the station could not be changed to other versions of news while higher officals and "fox followers" were present. Looking back, fox new had a serious affect on that department. "They" force there opinions in the most clever of ways.
