New York, NY—Fox News Channel came on the scene when there was no
media voice that countered the constant and uninterrupted tidal wave of Liberal
propaganda from every TV screen. Fox was
and is a cable channel that managed to beat every other news competitor
specifically CNN and MSNBC at the ratings game.
Fox News was always weak in broadcasting breaking news video
because they never invested enough into resources. Instead they toss a few reporter generated stories
around and do the bare minimum on breaking news. If the story happens in a location where they
have no assets video is painfully slow to be shown on Fox.
What Fox News did do right was to have Conservative talking
heads that offered up something different from the rest. They had Glen Beck and Judge Andrew Napolitano
to counter the onslaught of the Left Wing broadcasters. That has all changed for the worse.
Radio survived after many stations brought in Rush Limbaugh,
Glen Beck, Michael Savage and Lew Rockwell along with many others. Unlike the radio business, TV moguls however, have been able to control
what appears on TV screens. Conservatism
has simply not managed to become integrated into any portion of our TV lineup.
In its beginning, Fox had a difficult time getting placed into cable lineups
because they refused to play in harmony with the Left Wing propagandists. Every possible roadblock was put into place
including sponsor intimidation. Fox
proved popular and financial considerations understandingly won out over
political ones.
The restraint of trade and criminal racketeering of the broadcasting industry has
continued and accordingly Fox has been forced into firing anyone with a, too
Conservative message. Yes, Fox took the
coward’s way out.
Fox does have a cadre of Leftists and pretend Conservatives on
the payroll now and anything deemed too Conservative is censored. Pretenders Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity are a lot of
things but Conservative, is just not one of them. Criticizing Obama does not qualify to brand anyone Conservative.
Fox News has plenty of lifetime liberal talking heads like
Sheppard Smith, Geraldo Rivera and Bob Beckel.
They have been joined by others to somewhat satisfy the Left wing media
policy makers.
Fox has steadfastly refused to cover the question of Barack
Obama’s eligibility to be President even after startling new evidence surfaced
that his purported birth certificate is a forgery. The fact that Obama has spent well beyond a
million dollars fighting efforts to expose birth, passport, student loan, Selective Service and
Illinois Sate Bar records that would put the controversy to rest makes
everything so obvious. Obama is not a
citizen and cannot serve as our President.
Regular TV advertisers have boycotted Fox after organized
efforts at sponsor harassment by Left Wing agitators. In the process the sponsors lost revenue
after cowering to the Left’s threats.
Fox has been neutered and left totally gutless. I have since cancelled my own cable TV subscription. I get my own news and information on the Internet
or radio.
The good thing is that TV and radio broadcasting is dying a
quick death. Everything will soon be Internet
provided. Until the Left can gain
control over and censor the Internet it may remain the only place where speech
is truly free.
Every day our politicians are trying to find ways for the
FCC or for that matter any federal agency to control and censor Internet content. Controlling the world’s
information is truly the key to controlling the world.
