The Fascist Noise Channel

I’m listening to Mario Solis Marich on AM760 in Denver. A guy just called in and referred to Fox News as the “Fascist Noise Channel.”
I like that. I like that a lot. It fits and it’s more appropriate than a name like “Faux News,” which doesn’t really capture the cold-blooded, ruthless nature of FNC.
Hey, in my opinion, Fox can be as fascist as it wants to be — I’m a free speech nut – I just wish they’d quit lying to people about being a “news” organization; that they’d come clean and give themselves a name that reflects the truth.

I agree with your views on free speech. I have no problem with Fox expressing their point of view, but I wish they would be honest about their lack of objectivity. They seem to want to work in the phrase “fair and balanced” as much as possible but, in reality, they are neither. Also, the “we report, you decide” mantra is a joke!

So true. The “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide” BS is, well, BS.
