FOX is going down
Brent and I joined Moveon.org when we signed up for the Michael Moore house party we attended a while back. Ever since we've been getting emails asking us to write to different people about important topics that are coming up. The latest one sent was asking us to send comments to the FTC (which Moveon will also send to other important figures) asking them to stop FOX News from mis-advertising themselves as "fair and balanced". Here's the directions followed by the comment I wrote.
Directions: You can now ask the FTC to order Fox News to stop misleading consumers. The FTC's job is to protect consumers from deceptive advertising on the part of big media companies. Please enter your name, email address, zip code, and your personal comment below. We'll deliver these messages to the FTC and to other political leaders.
My comment:
FOX is and has been misleading the public for too long now. FOX is misrepresenting themselves as "fair and balanced" news. If news is going to be "fair and balanced" it MUST have NO right or left tendencies. FOX news has slipped too far right to be labeled as "fair and balanced". If they are going to continue mixing in right-wing propaganda with the news they should not be allowed to mislead the American people by continuing to post their slogan "fair and balanced". People cannot make informed opinions, views, and decisions based on news that is one sided. FOX, in using their slogan "fair and balanced", is feeding into the American peoples' ignorance. Many Americans believe FOX is delivering them the whole truth about the news when in fact they are swinging it in favor of the right-winged group. In doing this they are endangering the intelligence of the American people. Misrepresentation of this kind is incredibly harmful to the proper function of our democracy. FOX news is being negligent and they must be stopped. Calling FOX News "fair and balanced" is false advertising and last time i checked that was illegal! Please don't allow them to continue lying to their viewers. The truth needs to come out in these important times.

Last night Brent and I started watching "Outfoxed". It's a documentary exposing FOX for what it is, right-wing news. I only caught the beginning because it was really late and I was really tired. I'm going to try and watch it tonight. I'm sure we're going to continue digging up more and more in this election year and i can't wait! It's so exciting to see the truth pop out after its been hiding for so long. I'm ready for BUSH and party to crumble (crossing fingers tightly)!!
Brent and I are leaving tomorrow morning for our summer road trip. We're going to be going to Memphis,TN; Cincinnati, OH; Hopkinsville, KY; Sandusky, OH; Detroit, MI; and into Canada! It's going to last 12 days so we'll be back on Sunday August 1. I'm so excited to leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure Brent will have a more detailed itinerary posted some time so i'm not going to even bother getting into what we are going to do. You can read it on his lj (ohyeah).
