Comedian Lee Camp told the truth when appearing on Fox and Friends as he laid into Fox (clip below), saying this about the network on air,

"It's just a parade of propaganda, isn't it? It's just a...festival of ignorance.

"A million people are dead in Iraq. Come on. This is ridiculous. What's the point of this?"

"This is insane," Camp continues. "Go out--leave your home. Go outside! Go hug your children! Love your family, you know? Do something with your life"

Really, couldn't this apply to any of the media?

Fox News, despite their bogus claim of being 'fair and balanced' is nothing but Republican propaganda, few dispute that.

I know. I've tried watching Fox News on Sat. mornings and instead found the opinion based programs far from fair and balanced. So many people are on the right much of the time they are only saying "Me, too", in so many words.

I watch Fox occasionally, but mostly CNN - some MSNBC. I think it all depends who you are watching - for example, I think Wolf Blitzer tries to keep things balanced. Also, Tim Russert. But some of these guys - they have a bias. And not just on Fox.

Fox News is to America what Pravda (in Russian, the "Truth) was to the Soviet Union - the official outlet for government political propaganda.

Blitzer is a Jewish guy who kowtows to Israel's interests in the news.

I doubt that Bob Beckel has ever provided an outlet for ANY Republican. Your contention is absurd.

Some of them (not Kondracke) are whipping boys for the right wing personalities on Fox. Like the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters. All designed to create an illusion of balance.
