Russell Brand destroys Fox News

Russell Brand destroys Fox News





http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/06/...33502.html

Quote:Russell Brand has responded to Fox News legal analyst Jeanine Pirro, who delivered an unlettered rant about the Iraq War on Saturday by calling Rupert Murdoch’s network a “fanatical terrorist propagandist organization”.

...

In her diatribe, Pirro offered a method of dealing with the Jihadists group that now controls great swathes of Iraq and Syria. "Bomb them, keep bombing them, bomb them again," she squealed.


I knew Fox news was a pretty ridiculous news station but god damn I didn't realise they literally let these sorts of freaks up on a soap box to have a rant about bombing people. This is just plain obscene. No wonder so much of America is indoctrinated with ignorance if these are the kinds of people allowed to spout vitriol on a news station. Undecided

Ahhh. Bullshit Mountain.





It's that travesty that happens when a shrinking minority of people who have a bit of money watch one TV station for their "news."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Hmm. My opinion of Russel Brand just went up.

Pretty much.

Fox "News" = The "Pravda" of the American right wing

No doubt the creators of Fox "News" studied the propaganda ministry of the former Soviet Union and used their techniques.

Most of the rest of the American media is controlled by one of six major corporations. While not as overt as Fox, American media offers a heavy right wing, pro-corporate-interest slant. We sometimes won't even hear about news stories if corporate interests won't allow it. The slant is underscored on the Sunday talk shows (shows where issues are discussed in depth by pundits) usually feature hard-right-neo-cons and soft-spoken-faux-liberals.

On a related note, I just love it on the occasions when GOP pundits and politicians go on foreign media shows and you see that deer-in-the-headlights look in their eyes as they are asked hard questions instead of getting the softball treatment they receive on our media.

Care to back that up? I'm yet to see anything to rival Fox News' stupidity.

Thanks for posting those. I was going to say, Russell Brand is pretty on the ball with this sort of thing.

The most recent one that comes to mind is Rachal's Maddow rant that Oklahoma is trying to tax the sun. I don't watch Fox or MSNBC but I watched that episode(4-21-2014) because a person I work with commented on it. My opinion of him went down several notches when I realized he simply couldn't discern the stupidity it contained.
