"Mr. Murdoch's Legendary Vision In The Future": Fair, Balanced, Unadulterated ...

BULLSHIT!!

From Think Progress:

Rupert Murdoch’announced today that Fox News’s top executive, Roger Ailes, has signed a five year contract extension with News Corp. “Roger has done a remarkable job building FOX News into a force in journalism and built a great asset for News Corporation,” said Murdoch in a statement. Ailes said that he looks “forward to carrying out Mr. Murdoch’s legendary vision in the future.”


If "a force in journalism" means part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy," maybe Murdoch's right. Fox News' subtitle of "fair and balanced" news has, however, become the laughing stock of just about everyone who's ever taken a course in journalism. (Sorry, Sarah Palin, a couple of courses in "sports broadcasting/journalism" don't count - not even at junior college level! Ooops, you actually went to a four-year college. Sorry, we couldn't tell.).

The video at the end of this post will show people what a joke Fox News REALLY is! Unfortunately, Fox's extreme bias can be mean spirited as well. Take a look at THIS picture:

It's obvious that Fox is comparing these singing kids to a Hitler Youth Group. You can view the real video here. And, of course, Bill O'Reilly made fun of the kids' efforts.

So, let's ask this of Fox News: which is creepier, the Obama kids or JESUS CAMP?

Just a thought.
