The Declining Fox

Fox News chairman Roger Ailes is cracking his whip on slacking employees. No doubt do to the enormous decline in Fox News ratings. Last quarter alone, down 8%.

fox oh no!

Probably because the Republicans are doing what they always do best, stick their fingers in their ears when reality hits the fan. I think they see they will be blamed for what is turning out to be a disaster of a war. I think they see that all their talk of big government and their fearless leader made government much, much bigger with Homeland Security and expanded war profits. I think they see that corruption, indictments, corporate welfare and war are not ways to bring “integrity back into the White House”.

So they do what they always do best, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Well maybe the last one. Since we have already determined that corruption, indictments and corporate welfare are not good, perhaps they are evil, and some keep speaking in defense of it.

What a sad sort of events. That the party united behind Bush thought they would not only change America for good and make them good Christians, but do that to the world, failed miserably. Not only fell on it’s ass, but on it’s face. America is a worse place today than it was in 2000, and Bush deserves a portion of the blame.

Fox News deserves some of it too. They have been systematically lying to their own viewers, telling them what a good job Bush is doing and how well the war is. The truth is elusive, the truth is not entertaining, most of all, the truth can only be avoided for so long. Even Nazi’s had to tell the truth to their citizens when Stalingrad turned into a Nazi death trap.

The truth is powerful. It is undeniable in the face of repeated lies.

Oh uhm, Righties, you should see some of the programs your beloved conservative propaganda channel plays on it’s other networks. It is quite obvious that Fox has no interest in stating a commitment to conservatism anywhere but on it’s news channel. Even Rupert himself has recently held a fundraiser for Hillary, and is a tireless supporter of Liberal politicians in other countries. It’s all entertainment folks, and any of you who believe it are being milked for your anger, just so you can watch a commercial for the latest prescription drug.

Don’t take my word for it, see it yourself, make observations. Isn’t all this obvious?!
