I'm not gonna lie about it. I love me some FOX News.
CNN is boring and bland, MSNBC is a nonentity, but FOX... FOX is pretty much a direct propaganda arm of the Bush administration. If I'm going to watch hysteria and sloppy journalism, I want to be *really* horrified (and yet strangely fascinated). FOX has a shadowy, terrible agenda, and watching is like getting a glimpse into the heart of darkness, whereas CNN and MSNBC is just a look at mediocrity and meekness.
I am, in fact, watching FOX as we speak, and they are extolling the virtues of racial profiling. Witness their rotating cast of "experts": Fascistic retired military officers, fundamentalist Christians, weaselly Bush administration cronies and Ann Coulter (She's truly horrifying-I make a point of giving her my undivided attention whenever she's on). This is entertainment for anyone with a black sense of humor. They have a show called "War Stories," a vehicle for militaristic propaganda. The host: Oliver fucking North, a terrorist if there ever was one. You can't make this shit up.
Newsflash- there was a bombing in Beirut. The first thing FOX reports is that us folks shouldn't worry, because Condi Rice has already left the area.
Not everyone can stand it (my mother, the classic beatnik artist, can't take it), but if you have a strong stomach and appreciate irony, you have to check it out. This shit is basically the press office for the White House, and you can be entertained and informed on the neocon agenda at the same time. |
