Fox News is a joke. Does anyone else agree?

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-november-28-...

Now we know the Daily Show is all satirical comedy show. But it doesn't mean that they're not portraying the truth. Fox News is the joke because it IS a joke. People who don't get this are dense in the head and have no idea what goes on in the world other than what Fox News tell them. News Corp legal lawsuits towards truthfulness? News Corp phone hacking? Nada.

    Just as in the medieval days the court jester is the only one allowed to tell the truth. That is what brings us the Daily Show. The separation of the populist has become so divided thanks to 30 plus years of propaganda that we have the willfully ignorant / paranoid delusional vs. the informed but cynical.

    30 years of clear channel radio propaganda from the likes of Rush Limbaugh thanks to the abolishment of the fairness doctrine has opened the door to the likes of Fox News. Which by the way anyone with a working brain cell can tell is fake. But many people ignore that fact because they are indeed paranoid and have been force fed extreme right wing propaganda all their lives. You would have to be in your 50’s to remember real news.

    No matter how much proof you put forth to these neocon fox “news” zombie they will never admit that the outlet is false. Then comes MSNBC playing the left side of the “news”. While MSNBC is clearly the more informed and fairer of the two I still believe that it’s all a game to make the left feel as though they have a voice. The fact is MSNBC is owned by corporate media just like any other outlet.

    Fox and MSNBC play rivals to one another but MSNBC allows Fox to win by having a skeleton choice of programming. Any reasonable person would ask why that is. The answer is simple, they’re all in bed together.

    Enter The Daily Show. No one wants to take them serious because it is a comedy show on a comedy network. They are the only ones listening to the public and telling the truth. It is sad and ironic that in this age of information that the real news is considered comedy.

    In short. Heck yes, Fox “news” is a joke. The people who defend Fox do so not because they believe Fox gives them the news but because Fox tells them what they want to hear.

    Alan Colmes is plenty available on the left, he worked with Hanity. Alan is a ordinary on bill's prepare. Juan Williams is popping out to be midsection left, and pressing the left. Others happen too. i do no longer watch Hanoity each and all the time, there are some left individuals thre. The left individuals do press that ingredient rather annoying. fantastic individuals, respectful yet business enterprise of their time table ideals.

    MSNBC is a huge joke. They might as well change the name of the channel to the "we hate anyone who doesn't love Obama" channel.
