Fox in the Henhouse

Well, well, well. If it's not my favorite news station. In exploring the topic of "Mapping the News", I tried and tried not to go to the Fox News website, but I eventually gave in. It is hard to explain in words how I feel about most everything the Fox network produces (except for the Simpson's, but even they are becoming suspect nowadays). I guess the best words I can think of are Fear Mongers. When I got to the site, I had a chuckle with the Politics menu options. Almost all of the options have something to do with terror and or war.

They even have a Sept. 11 category that if you click on, you are brought to a page about the 5 year anniversary of the attacks. Now I'm no mathematician, but wasn't that a while ago? Like 6 months ago when all the networks aired shitty movies about 9/11 and blamed Clinton? Odd that this is news, at least in my opinion. If the news is that old, why have it on the main political site? I do have to point out that there are no dates on any article that I looked at, this seems odd coming from a news site.

In an interesting experiment, I typed in Fear Monger into the Fox News search engine and got an article on Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?. Now I thought that we had figured this out, that even good old Mr. Dubya acknowledged global warming which is a miracle in and of itself. In this article there are a lot of opinions that question global warming and say that those of us that are believers, are just wasting money on research and calling those believers Fear Mongers. If we should fear anything it is this...

Also, did anybody see the show "Real Time with Bill Mahr"? Those that saw it may realize he makes some good points. But Fox News is going to be all over him calling him a terrorist. Hopefully he has the balls to stay his ground and not apologize.
