Romney's Election Headquarters


Fox “News” runs a morning show called “Fox and Friends.”  On Wednesday the show broadcast a four minute video entitled “Four Years of Hope and Change,” attacking Obama and his policies.  I have not seen the video, but commentators who have said it was indistinguishable from an campaign attack ad.
The video was preceded by the graphic “America’s Election Headquarters.”  This is what Fox calls its election coverage.  Next time you are in an establishment that has Fox playing on the television, ask them to change the channel.  I know I have mentioned this before, but you need to ask.  If they refuse, raise a ruckus.  Start shouting.  Embarrass everyone in the room.  
Fox has a right to broadcast anything they want to.  It’s a First Amendment right.  On the other hand, viewers need to be made aware of just what it is they are watching--extreme right-wing propaganda, not news.

  1. People who own a business have one real priority. It is their life blood---money!

    Tell them, if they are smart they will not show any bias in their business. Tell them if they don't stop the bias, that you will take your business elsewhere and that you will advise your friends to do likewise. If they start seeing their business declining, maybe then they will wise up. But then again their are some business people who are dumb. Why else would they do what they are doing.
