Laugh Riot for the Ages? Murdoch says he is fighting for Fox's "Credibility"! Email Print

Rupert Murdoch earned tremendous credit for reaching the crescendo of unintended humor with his statement that Fox News is fighting for its "Credibility"!

To even use a term such as credibility in connection with the Bush Criminal Enterprise's propaganda tool that helped steal the 2000 presidential election by using Bush's cousin John Ellis to make the first call for that same cousin at Fox takes colossal nerve and Murdoch has that in spades.

This is also the same network that later helped launch the Iraq War by presenting every Bush and Dick Cheney distortion as gospel truth, playing on fear as it controlled its faithful Fox Zombie audience.  

The Fox story reads like a horror film written by George Orwell.

Fox Television is a tough act to beat when it comes to finishing dead last in any style points media sweepstakes.  

Just when you think the network has hit rock bottom with another session of Ann Coulter shrieking that the Democratic Party exists "to kill babies" or Bill O'Reilly delivering another hand wringing declaration that to criticize Cheney and Bush on Iraq is at least coming perilously close to treason Fox delivers a fresh surprise.

New Orleans Signifies More Callous Neglect from the Neoconservative Plutocracy Email Print

Anyone seeking to understand the roots behind the tragic devastation of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans should trace it to two key statements that reveal what the Cheney-Bush Junta is all about.  

The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" was never truer than when George Bush, wearing a tux for a very special occasion, faced a roomful of fat cat contributors at a Republican fundraiser and exclaimed with a grin, "Some call you the elite.  I call you my base."

Laughter exploded throughout the room.  Bush chortled joyously about his fat cat roots.  The assembled gathering was there to thank him for his generous tax cuts for the wealthy and through providing checks of large amounts sent a message that they anticipated more of the same.

The second important statement came from issues management strategist Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.  To acknowledge favoring tax reform is akin to saying one is opposed to sin, so it is necessary to study Norquist's agenda to see where he is coming from and it is best summarized in the statement, "It is our desire to drown government in the bathtub."  It is then essential to ascertain what fits into Norquist's definition of "government" and observe is not in favor of reducing the military or the thought police established under the so-called Patriot Act.
