Two Reporters Blow The Whistle On FOX News






Comments

Is anyone shocked by this? I just assume this happens at Fox news, has happened and will continue to happen.

More than shocked.....I drink a whole lot of milk, always have, and I sure do have some very unusual health problems oh boy.....
I will tell you one thing, I believe these reporters, and as of this moment I and ALL members of my family are either going to NOT drink milk or switch to an organic alternative that does not contain BGH.
We owe a debt of gratitude to these reporters for standing up for us.....I wont forget.

Let me get this straight...it's LEGAL to completely lie in the news?

That's the part I'm really having trouble understanding.

I think I've seen this before a while ago... I think it's from Outfoxed... (www.outfoxed.org).

Brian K,

Yes. I am shocked by this. I am shocked that Fox ever put up the front of actually doing real reporting. I'm surprised they ever hired real journalists.

That said, yes, I also believe it should be illegal to knowingly falsify news. I think it should be illegal to fire journalists for failing to do so.

The alternative is to simply have a government run news media. Oops, sorry, I mean that all news media should be run by the corporations that run the government, of course.

It would save this country a fortune. Why lobby politicians when you can just dole out the information you want so that we the idiots will encourage our politicians to do exactly what the corporations want anyway?

George Orwell got it wrong in 1984. We don't need to have the televisions watching people; we just need to ensure that the people are watching their televisions, especially Fox and the like. There will be no thought crime; there will be no thought!

I believe this is an excerpt from Robert Greenwald's 2004 film Outfoxed. Not new, but interesting nonetheless. Film site: http://www.outfoxed.org/

How long before Monsanto pressures YouTube to pull this?

I donno, the peasants I work with still LOVE Faux. The mark of a true believer (fascist or socialist) is the hatred of those who question the worshiped authorities. To an American peasant fascist, Monsanto is a near-deity.

No surprise at all. A great video on GMOs and Monsainto is the "Future of Food". I've had a hard time finding a copy since I'm out of the country in self imposed exile, but they lay out the government/corporate incest very clearly. Worth watching.
