Banned on Facebook WTF?? God-O-Matic is banned from reposting... try it yourself and log a complaint. What, its okay to go on national television and demand Julian Assange be murdered but don't mess with the sacred FOX/BECK/TEAPARTY Christian?
Many of us already know that Fox News is biased -- but it's actually much worse than that. For years they have used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide this country. Recently, it's gotten downright dangerous. Earlier this summer, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation[1] -- an obscure non-profit that Glenn Beck regularly demonizes on his Fox News TV show.[2]
Fox News is bad news for America -- and it spreads, and is legitimized, partly through TVs in public places.
That's why I've joined the TurnOffFox campaign -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox. It's about educating people about Fox and getting it turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.
Will you join me? It takes just a moment to declare your own household "Fox free", and at the same time appeal to public establishments in your community to stop playing Fox. And you'll get a FREE Turn Off Fox sticker when you do. Click here:
No other news organization that's considered legitimate consistently wages smear campaigns based on lies and race-baiting. But for years Fox News has done exactly that, and the pattern has only gotten worse since Barack Obama entered national politics.
Here are just a few examples:
-- A frequent Fox guest, Jesse Lee Peterson, said that the majority of Black people have poor moral character, and cited "what they did to the dome" after Hurricane Katrina as evidence.[3] Peterson has also used his platform on Fox to claim that 90% of Black people are racists -- against Whites.[4]
-- In a case of naked race-baiting, Fox host Glenn Beck called President Obama a "racist" who had a "deep-seated hatred for White people or the White culture."[5] Earlier that week, Beck claimed that the President's health insurance reform proposals were a form of "reparations" designed to "settle old racial scores."[6]
-- Fox host John Stossel argued that the public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Act -- which prevents businesses from discriminating based on race, sex, and other factors -- should be repealed.[7]
-- Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity were the first to air deceptively edited and incomplete video of Shirley Sherrod's remarks to the NAACP.[8] The video made it seem like Sherrod was confessing to using her position at the USDA to discriminate against White farmers, when she was really talking about the importance of overcoming prejudice. Sherrod lost her job over this misrepresentation, which Fox enthusiastically repeated without seeking the facts. Fox has since tried to pretend it had nothing to do with this smear -- but Fox is the number one reason these kinds of distortions and smears have any part in our national dialogue.
The examples above aren't even a tenth of Fox's vicious lies and smears, and over the years they've just gotten more brazen.
The goal of Turn Off Fox is to reduce the number of public TVs showing Fox News, while spreading the word about Fox's poison (and how it works) to those who don't know.
Signing up for the campaign is just the first step. We make it easy for you to tell us about businesses playing Fox. If you're willing to talk with them, we'll provide you with straightforward materials that explain why they shouldn't be a party to what Fox is doing. And if there are businesses you know that want to tell the world they would never play Fox, you can help them declare themselves a "Fox-free zone."
As businesses Turn Off Fox and stand up as Fox Free, and as we encourage our friends and family to do the same, we'll help make clear, to people across the country, what Fox is about. And we'll reduce their ability to do harm.
Please join me in signing up for the TurnOffFox campaign:
Fox News was sued in Florida for airing untrue information. They won in court, essentially not defending their untruths, but that they did not necessarily have to tell the truth.
So there is legal precedence that they do not have to tell the truth at any time.
and I believe they don't.
They are entertainment, not true news.
The real goal of turn off fox is to delegitimize opposition to socialism and Obama and ultimately gut the first amendment.
Fox news is the only network in America not controlled by the far left and the only network that speaks out against and is exposing Barack Obama.
If a conservative doesn't like Fox he doesnt watch it. A liberal however will ban anyone from watching it.
If a conservative doesnt like meat he chooses not to eat it. A liberal however will make it illegal for you to do so.
If a conservative is afraid of owning a handgun for protection he remains defenseless but liberals will make everyone except criminals defenseless.
With this in mind, I say more power to Fox news, the only network in America nay the world that has the least amount of bias and the only network that is fair.

FactS? You mean like how Obama's stimulus failed so bad we lost more jobs than what he speculated we would lose without it? Or how Anita Dung praised Mao Tse Tung along with one other Democrat who said he agreed with the idea of government by gunpoint? You'll never get these tidbits from CNN ABC CBS NBC MSNBC NPR OR PBS or any other leftist rag. Fox news all the way. Might not be perfect but its better than nothing.
we would be losing MORE jobs if we continuted in the direction that the Repbulican party had us in. It's apparent, you do not know enough about economics to comment on this. The stimulus has not failed.... more time is needed to get out of this very deep recession and the stimulus package has prevented it from getting worse.

Once again, it turns out it is YOU who knows nothing about economics. You are talking to a small business owner who has resided in states that were Socialist lib and libertarian conservative. The stimulus HAS Failed. and this idea of more time needed, you would not be saying that if Bush or McCain did this. In fact you DID 30 years ago, with regards to how Reaganomics needed time to work. Statistics overwhelmingly proove this. The stimuls, like every other Democratic Socialist pork spending has made the problem worse. 700billion dollars. Taken out of the pockets of hard working honest americans and into the hands of CEOS who keep it for themselves. Everytime in History taxing and spending goes up, unemployment and poverty do as well. Why? Well how do you expect someone like me to hire more workers and develop my business more if the fruits of my labor keeps getting swiped from me to go to hand outs for lazy people. DUHRRRRRRRR! That's why socialism fails! You eventually run out of other people's money!
If a liberal doesn't like men, he won't bang them. A conservative however will make it a crime and strip their rights.
Fox News is biased to the extreme, essentially an arm of the RNC. If you don't believe that, then tell me: where are the liberal voices on it, like on CNN or MSNBC? I'll save you time - there aren't any, because that might cause them to report truth or veer off-point.
The libertarian doesn't prevent his fellow man from defending himself by restricting his inalienable right to self-defense. Nor does the libertarian prevent a man from having sex with another man, because he recognizes that both men have an inalienable right to self-ownership. Thus, when two mutually consenting adults agree to insert a portion of their private property (i.e., their penises) into one another, the libertarian does not interfere. For the libertarian recognizes that in addition to "eternal vigilance," the price of liberty is tolerance.
With that said, the only libertarian mainstream news-reporter I can think of is John Stossel, and guess what, he moved from ABC to Fox News.
Apparently, Stossel's views on economic liberty were too much for the anti-liberal "progressives" to handle.

Every other country has what you would no doubt consider socialized health care. They get significantly better outcomes than we do -- they live longer, they have lower infant mortality rates, and so on -- while spending a fraction of what we do per person.
But who are you going to believe: Beck, or reality?
Submitted by mainestategop on Thu, 2010-09-30 17:37.
That is a lie. Most nations like Cuba dont count infant mortality rates of most babies especially those born with disabilities. Google pictures of hospitals in Havana smuggled out of the nation if you want a good look at how socialized medicine works.
Sad the idiots will be back in charge soon. All the polls look bad. Most people even blame the Democrats for the current financial status. Amazing the ignorance in this country, not to mention the lack of memory. Did I mention the ignorance?
Actually, I guess the Republicans won't be entirely in charge, they'll just make sure we have gridlock and a general shutdown of government like they did during certain years of the Clinton administration.
Looks like the first significant social reforms in 40 years are done with. At least a few improvements were voted in. And thanks again Leiberman for fking up the Health Care bill by 1 vote.
I hadn't even heard about Beck's misadventures until every second cartoon on Daryl Cagle's site was lampooning him.
Perhaps I was benefiting from the unwritten 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not export thy headache-inducing American news to thy northern neighbour."
My thoughts are: with this kind of cartoonist interest, Beck must have made some decent arguments. If his rhetoric was simple nonsense, I doubt it would mobilize every cartoonist from NYC to LA.
I suppose I'll have to catch it on YouTube.
After last week's "tax cut fairies" toon, I'm surprised this week's wasn't about Pres. Obama extending the tax cuts.
