Culture Wars: Religion May Decide Crucial Midterm Elections
"The Ground Zero mosque."
Gay marriage in California.
The president's religion.
With just over two months to go until November, curveball social issues have jolted a campaign season that until now has been about job creation and fiscal discipline."
They created all of these stories, which they had a right to as a media business. Don't like media companies being able to influence the news/elections/people's thinking then don't support people rights to run their business without government intervention.
Yup Fox sometimes shovels craps to sheep in order to keep ratings high and sell ad time. I'm fairly certain we would both do the same if we were the heads of Fox. You know exploit the stupidity of the masses and all.

Actually Fox News Did Not
create These Stories or in my opinion even give any angel on it.
a. A Muslim imam is trying to get a mosque built at ground Zero.
b. Gay marrige was voted down by the people in California and is being reinstated by the Court system against their will.
c. obama ran on the Democratic ticket as a Christian.
obama's Father was Muslim That makes him Muslim by sharia law.
He was raised muslim.
He was educated as a muslim
He has stated he is a Christian.
He denounced his Muslim faith for Christianity when he ran for State senate.
The punishment for renouncing his faith is
severe under Sharia law.
He has. on at least two known occasions referred to his Faith as
Muslim only to be corrected twice by his interviewers.

Wrong. They are a News Organization - Not Opinion Editorial like michael moore. They would be sued if they Did.

I have no problem if it is balanced and fair. I don't like deliberate slants on the news. Like Gushing over one candidate and slandering the other. Fox News has never wired a truck with Explosives to make it appear un-safe or refused to air footage of a candidate at a Rally for The PLO. We could go on and on.
That is another thread I think.Macbeth wrote:

This is to big a jump to even address. You need to define your target in this statement. Though we could guess, it is not my place to speak for you. A Restaurant, a News Organization, a Doctor a Maid and a Magician all have different roles and God willing will have different ( if any ) level of
government intervention. your term.

I would appreciate any direct reference to what you consider "
Crap " or who you speak of as "
sheep ". Do you live on some Island some where and use no public systems like the rest of the people you refer to as stupid Sheep?
Can you give us some insight into where you get your " News " that is on the Cusp unlike the " Sheep "or " Stupid Masses " you speak of ?
Since you refer to people as stupid could you show us some of
Your " Ahead of the curve " Ideas, Inventions and thoughts, That " the Stupid Sheep " and " masses " are having trouble keeping up with ?
just to gauge who we are talking to Macbeth wrote:

as a matter of interest-
Can you define "the Masses" and give us some examples of how you fail to qualify as such
