Is Fox News a terrorist organization?
Everytime I'm flipping channels and stumble upon Fox News they always are undoubtedly showing or reporting crap that is an obvious attempt to scare the hell out of people. So tonight I stopped on Hannity & Colmes and sure enough there is some clown on there claiming if we don't stop Iran he is certain NY will be hit by a nuke within 5 years and over 500,000 people will die.

So it got me thinking. Since the purpose of terrorism is to terrify, does this not qualify FOX News as terrorist organization?

The official definition of a terrorist is this:

terrorist: n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities.

Couldnt be any clearer for me.

2. in a sense, yes
Fox News is a subsidiary of the Republican National Committee, which is the most depraved, dangerous and destructive criminal enterprise in the history of the planet. So, in a sense, yes.

4. They are predictable; outsiders evil and dangerous
Edited on Wed Apr-19-06 08:06 AM by izzybeans
They are all David Horowitzs. Non GOP peoples of the earth are evil outsiders. When it comes to the GOP it is either all roses or the evil outsiders are "attacking" good citizen's of the GOP confederacy again. All designed to create the partisan nationalist fervor necessary to form a blinded coalition of the willing enabler.

5. I suspect these fools would like NY
to be hit. With Bush's approval rating at 24% in NY what better way to get rid of a few hundred thousand malcontents.

It must bother the crap out the the Bush apologists that the city that got hit on 9/11 went 85% for Kerry. To bad the rest of the country didn't bother to listen to what the people who were actually attacked thought.

8. Remember: Falafel O'Reilly threatened to bomb San Fransisco last year
If that's not an indication that Fox News supports terrorists, nothing is.

9. No. Fox is a privatized propaganda ministry in a yuppie fascist regime
That is what makes it the duty of FoxNews to scare people and otherwise manipulate public opinion in favor of Bush regime proposals and positions.

Their mission is not to report the news honestly or fairly.

Rupert Murdoch is the Goebbels of the Bush regime, but, unlike Goebbels, he really has no official association with the government. Had Goebbels not committed suicide as the Red Army took Berlin, he no doubt would have been tried and convicted at Nuremberg for his part in instigating the war and the Holocaust. Because Murdoch is a private individual, it would be problematic if he or his chief at FoxNews, Roger Ailes, could be prosecuted in a like manner. I tend to lean against it.
