Dumping FOX one thinking person at a time

Aside from Keith Olbermann on MSNBC Countdown awarding O'Reilly "Worst Person In The World" award almost nightly, I forget O'Reilly is still on the air. To this day, I fail to understand why people waste an hour watching him. I watched his show, (which is what it is because you cannot call it news) after 9-11. I think that was when his show got the most attention. Most of the people I know tuned in during some of the darkest days of this nation, but when the sunlight returned, they stopped watching. This just reminded me of someone else like Michael Savage who add nothing to society, never attempt to help people suffering, never seem to care about issues that matter to people in need but always manage to find the passion to attack them.

This is one more person who thinks FOX is not all it's cracked up to be.

Today I was Reminded Why I Hate Fox News...Thanks YouTube.

By ladytia(ladytia) Bill O'Reilly: *Gasp* There's No Such Thing As a Homeless Veteran! Tia Says: My family of Veterans think you can go to Hell, O'Reilly! 4. Fox News: Those Damned Educated Angry Black Women!

This is the clip of O'Reilly dismissing homeless veterans and their reaction to him.

I don't watch FOX news or views. I don't listen to Hannity or any of the talk show talking heads on the radio in my car either. When I moved to Florida, I bought XM satellite radio so that I could listen to informative talk radio and news without feeling as if my intelligence has just been violated or having my own dedication to the nation as well as the veterans insulted.

During one of many conversations with veterans, someone mentioned something they saw on FOX. I asked the person if was a compassionate person. He said he was. Then I asked him how he could watch a show that hated what he had inside of him. At first, he was offended. He defended FOX. Calmly, I pointed out several things in opposition to what he believed in. His defense of FOX began to dissolve. We talked some more and by the time we were going our separate ways, he understood FOX is actually contrary to everything he believed in.

FOX hides behind words. They say they are patriotic with graphics of a flag being flown in the background, yet they never seem to be able to defend the Constitution. They say they are "watching out for you" but never seem to explain who the "you" is they are watching out for. They say they are "informed" yet people who have really been paying attention think wherever they are getting their information from is not reality based. Their viewers come off as idiots when they are involved in discussion on current events, much like McCain didn't know when the Awakening happened in Iraq, which was well before the surge of troops. The viewers of FOX are not stupid people but they have been manipulated into thinking that if they don't watch FOX, they are not patriots. Very sad when you get right down to it.
