Fox News is not a news organization

[Here4Good]

This morning, their poll of the day is "Who should take the lead in fighting Gulf Oil Spill?"

FOXNews.com - Who Should Take the Lead in Fighting Gulf Oil Spill?

I listened to WWL all weekend, and even the angriest, most vitriolic talk show host in New Orleans now understands that, by law, as passed after Valdez incident, that BP has to take the lead, and why.

Instead of explaining this to their audience, Fox just fans the flames of discontent. I can't accept that they don't understand the issue, they just choose to dumb it down and make it controversial.

I watcted Obama's news conference on Fox yesterday, and the talking heads couldn't wait to talk about how this will affect him politically. Um, hello? It's not about him.

I don't watch TV news much, but you can substitute the name fox for thousands of other "infomedia conflict organizations" - paper, websites, tv . . .

If you don't like them, why post a link to them?

If you think it's a stupid thread, why post to it?

It's my job.

I didn't say it was stupid.

I was just making a commentary on the media coverage of the oil spill. The facts are few and far between, and I find myself relying on the Baton Rouge Advocate website, NOLA.com and WWL radio and TV.
