Fox Breaking News
Two things about Fox this week you might want to know.
1. The Simpsons can be mistaken for FoxNews
Yes we've already heard about this but I have a new video!
2. Bloggers are nazi's.
So - this week on LiberalViewer on YouTube - he reposted the recent interview with Simpsons creator Max Groening. Max says here in this clip that Fox told the Simpsons that they could NEVER do an episode again where they have pretend anchors with the little news crawl going across the bottom because as Max says "Fox said people might mistake it with being actual Fox News."
The hilarity being of course that FoxNews itself is so fake it might as well be a cartoon thus confusing its viewers... see the vid below and prepare to laugh and then possibly cry... He also has keen stats on how FoxNews viewers have a very low IQ and few attend collage or any graduate school
Part 2 is a little more F-ed up. (Hope Mom's not reading this week)
A new BraveNewFilms short was released on their sight where they spliced together attacks and accusations about bloggers having power over the democrats.
In true Fox style - if you can't beat them at their own game... just attack them.
We are called everything from liberal, arm twisting, vicious, to being Nazis. We are assassins - we are doing a witch hunt by posting vblogs and OMG holding people accountable by doing research that THE MEDIA DOESN'T DO!
I know you don't need to hear this but it seems that few people understand what blogs and bloggers actually do. Yes, there are personal blogs out there that talk about how Mr. Howser our Geometry teacher has manboobs.
But then there is another world. People like Kos, Marshall at TPM, Muckraker, and a slew of other people who are the true patriots of this nation. They not only do their homework they research down to the n-th degree details that far exceed the kind of work that reporters do today.
By no fault of their own - reporters have become just as commercial as the agencies for which they write. Restricted to the word count, language usage, and ever more censored by editors who are too afraid to go out on a limb or hold ANYONE accountable. Today's journalism is not the journalism of All the President's Men, it is the journalism of flashy graphics, who gets Paris Hilton, ratings, sponsors, and money.
Blogs aren't beholden to anyone. We pay our dough to host and buy the dotcom - we work our tails off writing code and perfecting the layout (shout out to the FM pink and blue) and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Then there is content - research - gathering sources - asking tough questions. And then the best part happens. You can engage as a normal person with a writer. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Air your concerns - throw a bitchfit - have an e-smackdown right there in the comment section.
Rather than dictating to you what you should think or giving you the facts blogs go further - we let you discuss the facts among yourselves.
Not sure if you noticed but FoxNews likes to tell people what to think. Its predigested news. No thought necessary. Anything that challenges that clearly comes into conflict with their world. But rather than have a free exchange of ideas about it - or try to beat us at our own game - they'd just resort to name calling.
One woman goes so far as to say that she went to one blog and saw some of the filthiest language she's ever seen. I don't know WTF that SOB is talking about she can just kiss my pink-o commie mofo bumfuzzle... what language?
Prepare to be shocked below:
Happy Friday!! Simpsons comes out today!!!
