anysiaFOX News. Reminicient of the old Soviet Propaganda machine, this 'news' channel and its 'reporters' (I am using the quotes because neither of them are what they are titled.) are frightening. Mostly because there will always be sheep that will blindly nod and agree with their out of context, and often made from whole cloth stories,as if they were gospel from on high.
Their "some people say" "some people would say" are their fiction for smearing and demonising anyone that isn't with the GOP agenda, or having the audacity to call a publically 'elected' official to task for mishandling of a situation, thereby causing the deaths of almost 2000 Americans without getting held to task or sued. Safely anonymous 'some people'. Thrice damned cowards.
O'Reily is a prime example: rude, vicious, and arrogant. Likes telling anyone who doesn't agree with him to "shut up" (he tried denying this, but hey O'Reiiiiiilly? Video evidence is a bitch, huh?) He claims people are 'quoted saying', but doesn't have a shred of proof that said person actually said such things! And this outrageous statement that 'some Americans' might find her actions treasonous? I don't find her actions treasonous. I find them the actions of a US citizen, exercising her legal rights. IMO "Some Americans" = FOX News, O'Reilly and all the other Dubya asskissers.(read above paragraph)
Now this Michelle Malkin... the O'Reilly wannabe. How dare her speak as to what a grieving mothers' son would have said about his mothers' actions. If you get to see the video of her spouting her rhetoric, you can see her eyes reading a teleprompter. Nary an original thought between those ears, no sirree!
Angry? Oh hell yes. As the mother of two sons, one who lives in the US, I am not only angry, but scared that megalomaniacal squatter in the oval office will have my son/sons shipped out to die for oil.

Date: 2005-08-13 03:39 am (UTC)Yes, the sites I frequent call them FAUX News. O'Reilly is an asshole extraordinaire. Malkin is his devil's spawn assistant. And don't even get me started on Ann "Hi I'm a Fascist" Coulter.
*bares teeth in ferocious Night Dog grin*
My country seems to be going to Hell in a fucking handbasket.
I have my husband, my dog, and the rest of our family, and I hold onto them tightly.
Life is out of joint, and unfortunately it's gonna be this way for another 3 years. Oh joy.
*hoards books and glances warily at strangers*

Date: 2005-08-13 03:48 am (UTC)I saw an interview she did,where she was wrong about her facts (big suprise there huh?)and when the interviewer pointed it out to her, she got this stubborn hateful look on her face, and pretty much stuck to her Fox errr erroneous information.
Too bad slapping her would be illegal,cuz I can imaging just how many people would line up for a swat at that scum.

No,not really. I know the US is screwed up right now (remember, Dubya and his crooks will get gone one way or another), it's still the best country in the world to be. Did you know the rights granted to everyone in the Bill of Rights doesn't exist here? Free speech will land you in jail here if someone complains. I have gotten into shit with locals here because I have solidly said I am retaining my US citizenship, even though I reside here as a legal permanent resident. I will not abandon it and become Australian citizen, UNLESS I can have dual citizenship.

Date: 2005-08-13 02:41 pm (UTC)There are always chest-thumping "I'm better than you" jackasses no matter where you go. But I have personally experience the "tall poppy syndrome" here, but a group of very shallow people. Tall poppy gets noticed, so you have to cut it down to size(their typical way was to lie behind my back, make hurtful vicious comments to my face and then snigger and say Just kidding,betray my trust, and then steal from me. *shrug* Bullies are bullies, no matter what hemisphere you are in.
The political power here is baptist based. Need I say more?

You're right though...
Pig - headed people are evewhere you go.
One of the many reasons I wish to get away from heavilly populated areas.
