1. It's all scripted.
It would be watchable if it weren't run by Neocons and the loons that worship them.

3. Fox News....
I happened to pass my g/f's mother watching fox.

I was floored to see them taking on right wing terrorists.

I hate O'reilly & beck & hannity & all of them except Shepard Smith, I don't love him but he seems like kind of a strait shooter.

I get most of my news here, c/Liars ect, & democracy now & Moyers. aljazzera is real good also.

Fox really was kind of watchable. normally I spit gag & curse on exposure to Fox but it really wasn't horrible.

I still will continue to complain to becks & o'lierlys sponsors so dont get me wrong.

It was just really unusual for them to report rather than spew propaganda.

Have a nice day.

Share Print CommentsNine days ago, I joined Greg Sargent in wondering if the murder of George Tiller should prompt a "second look" at the DHS report on homegrown right-wing extremists that was so scandalized by pundits who insisted it was some sort of high concept government crackdown on mainstream conservatives, despite the fact that it was a report initiated by the Bush administration in which the word "conservative" never appeared. In the wake of today's recent tragic events at Washington DC's Holocaust museum, that second look seems even more appropriate. Catherine Herridge, reporting for Fox News, agrees:

GALLAGHER: It's a fair admonishment to us Catherine, to be careful of the facts here. But as you look at these, these types of groups that the FBI may or may not be investigating in the hours and days to come, we often forget about homegrown groups, and as you were saying in a report just a few days ago, one of the big concerns now about terrorism is from within.

HERRIDGE: Well that's right; for some context I think we need to look a the incidents today and see the warning from Homeland Security, about left-wing and right-wing extremist groups in this country, in a somewhat different light. I know from having interviewed every homeland security secretary who's come through that office that their primary concern has always been the lone wolf attacks. As I mentioned earlier today, the lone wolf attack is the most difficult to thwart because it is a conspiracy of one, an individual who is not sharing information with other people. The broader the conspiracy, as you can imagine, the more likely it is that information will leak and law enforcement will be able to intervene. So again it's a lone wolf attack, during the inaugural period, right up to today, I know that is the number one concern. And whether this is in fact the case, this would appear, and I would emphasize appear to fit that profile. And again I think we have to consider that these warning from Homeland Security that became so controversial earlier this year about left-wing and right-wing extremist groups, we have to now see them in a different light because they did specifically talk about the spread of white supremacy groups--
