Progressives are so cute when their delusions bleed over into the real world.
The demonstrators told Cybercast News Service that the Fox News Channel is “not a real news organization.” Nonetheless, they said, major news networks use Fox, a cable station, as a source for talking points.
“We are here to say, please, at the end of this election year, engage in responsible journalism and don’t parrot Fox News,” Adam Greene, director of strategic campaigns for MoveOn, told Cybercast News Service.
“We say Fox should not be setting the agenda for what is news in this country,” Deepa Domansky, a regional coordinator for MoveOn, told Cybercast News Service.
I used to feel sorry for these folks, who really do need to get hobbies or something to occupy their days. Going around mad all the time just isn’t a way to live. Then again, they likely don’t consider themselves as mad. They’d say they’re “speaking truth to power” and being valuable crusaders against The Evil Propaganda Arm of Our Fascist Commander in Chimp.
The other things that comes to mind is that the MoveOn gang probably didn’t think their petition through very well. I can’t imagine that the other news outlets felt when they were presented with this petition calling them either lazy bums or willing tools of of an Evil Conspiracy that’s also kicking the stuffing out of them in the ratings on a regular basis.
“Fox News is taking us away from issues that are really pressing and creating a sense that we shouldn’t be focusing on these issues but should be more focused on tabloid issues. We know that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization. It is a Republican mouthpiece. Yet the rest of the media is taking its talking points from Fox,” Domansky added.
