Really... more from Fox News???

Just a few things to mention about this Huffington vs. Beck issue-

Regarding the audio section (specifically):

1) Making fun of someone because they speak differently? Is this really reporting?  Really?  It wasn't cool in 1st grade, it it only makes you look like a complete fool when your supposed to be a "news-caster" now.  Yeah, and because she "sounds like Zsa Zsa Gabor," that makes her questions invalid, right?  Nice diversion.  It must works for the ignorant masses who love you, but even in the high school debate club, we all know the coach would have called you out and told you your tactics were invalid.

Seriously, I hate what reporting has become (no, it's not just you Beck... don't be so vain).

By the way, this (I know, heaven forbid I bring it up because America clearly doesn't have race issues still lingering) is a simple reminder of the many comments and philosophies used to propitiate racist and discriminatory actions... except its sorta' cute and funny when Beck laughs (and encourages you to laugh) about it.  

Regarding the video (the 'slaughtered' section is after 9:30... unless you are a glutton for punishment)


1) Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering. Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering. Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering. Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering. Fear-mongering.  Fear-mongering.  Any question?

2) Liar liar, pants on fire?  Any response Mr. Beck?

3)  Beck's tirade regarding Obama's guilt by association (you know, him talking to Andy Stern) is so awesome... maybe we should revolt before the President of the United States (by himself) passes all of this in Congress (the same Congress you have accused Obama of doing nothing in over the past year).  But I have yet to see Obama the Marxist present the Marxist paperwork to prove this Marxist-laden accusation and refer you to point 1 (which is of course, not Marxist).  

I shouldn't be so irritated, but I am.
Recently I watched Fox news cut Obama's retort to the GOP (which I felt was excellent) almost 1/3 short, and was told by some that this was no big deal (among other things).  Ideology at work I said, but I was shouted down by various distracting arguments (seeing a pattern anyone?).

So what's the problem?

Well, when people like Arianna Huffington (forgive her apparent foreign stupidity) cannot be heard when she is asking sensible questions, and is openly mocked by a well known faux-journalist, I begin to wonder.

How many people watch this news unreflectively?   And how many to their own detriment hear not only news, but ridiculously slanted commentary and start to worry about "those people," yeah, the ones who are coming to get us, and believe the crap they hear, and start their journey toward backward, discriminatory, illogical and just plain poor thinking.

This my friends is sad.  and it it makes me mad.
It should make us all mad.

And we should stop this backward thinking not reward it with money, fame, and political prosperity... much less a highly watched television program.
