Holy fuck.

Dana Perino, former Press secretary to President Bush, states that we did not suffer any terrorist attacks during Bush's term.

Watch that. The amazing thing is that no one corrects her.

I'd love to make her get back on Fox and apologize to every victim of the 9/11 attacks, the anthrax mailings, and the DC snipers, by name. No commercials, no breaks, no glass of water, she's just forced to apologize to the over 3,000 victims of terrorism on American soil during Bush's reign. Then we shoot her. For being a freaking tool.

It's Fox News. Retraction? Nevar!

The upsetting thing is that they're legally allowed to lie, and no matter how many times they present demonstrably false information or purposely inciting fear (see icon!) or outrage or other threats to good order and discipline... they're allowed to do it.

And no matter how many times they get called on it, they keep on truckin'.

(There's no invective I could label Rupert Murdoch and his crew of tools that wouldn't be taken by at least some of them as a badge of some sort of perverted honor.)

You mean, the GOOD thing is that they're allowed to lie.

The alternative is permitting government the ability to decide. No thanks.

You make a very good point there. I suppose things like Fox News is the price we have to pay for a media free from government interference.

But, geez... some days.... :(

I don't know that it's an either/or. Surely there's a middle ground between anything-goes and government-run media. Like "you cannot knowingly state false information if you claim to be news"
