Stop Fox News: Tell FCC To Revoke Broadcast License NOW!

Stop Fox News: Tell FCC To Revoke Broadcast License NOW! 

Help us take Fox News off the air—get the FCC to revoke Rupert Murdoch’s broadcast licenses NOW!

The deplorable actions Murdoch has taken to run his News Corp. empire prove we can't trust him to act in the public interest. Now, a study by Farleigh Dickinson University shows Fox News can’t even claim to inform its audience: its viewers are less informed than those who avoid news outlets altogether!

It’s the Federal Communications Commission’s job to consider the character of a media owner when dealing out broadcast licenses, and to label programs as news only when they actually inform viewers. The Murdoch Mafia has failed on both counts, and we have a chance to take them down for good. Save the airwaves from bigotry and corruption: tell the FCC to enforce the law NOW!

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION: Rupert Murdoch has failed every “character” test available, and the programs under his broadcasting licenses have both been implicated in scandal and have been proven to make audiences less informed, not more. We urge you to revoke Murdoch’s broadcasting licenses immediately, and to take a stand against his corrupt media empire.

Jon Stewart rips Chris Wallace for comparing Obamacare to Katrina: ‘You might be out of your f*cking mind’

By Arturo Garcia

While Jon Stewart went to town on Monday on media outlets for parroting Republicans and comparing the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) troubled implementation to Hurricane Katrina, he stopped for a second to address Fox News Chris Wallace for saying Katrina “ended within a week,” while the new law could affect people “for years to come.”

“Are you out of your –” Stewart began to say, before stopping once he heard his audience’s collected groan. “Do you know you’ve disappointed our audience? They think you might be out of your f*cking mind.”

While he had no intentions of polishing the “.turd” that was the government health care exchange website healthcare.gov, Stewart said, he also mocked Republicans for being offended by the comparison, and pointed out that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s refused to allow his state to take part in one of the new health care exchanges offered as part of the ACA while accusing the White House of “bullying” Louisiana.

“Bullying?” Stewart asked incredulously. “The feds were gonna pay for the Medicaid expansion. How was that bullying? ‘Hey, four-eyes, you need to see an opthamologist, we can cover that. How is that bullying?’”

Frustrated, Stewart turned to his correspondents to find the proper George W. Bush-era debacle to link to “Obamacare,” with Samantha Bee choosing the debate over waterboarding political prisoners.

“Healthcare.gov is the towel Obama is wrapping around our faces,” Bee explained. “And the board is the failed promise of universal healthcare.”

“What’s the water?” Stewart asked her.

“I don’t know, water’s water, Jon,” Bee replied. “What am I, Robert Frost?”

Meanwhile, Al Madrigal reached back further and compared the new law to the second war against Iraq.

“When I think ‘glitchy website,’ the first thing that comes to my mind is, ‘decade-long war started under false pretenses,’” Madrigal said.

Watch Stewart and his panel discuss the failed “Obamacare” analogies, as posted online on Monday, below.

David Frum: Republicans Have Been Fleeced, Exploited, and Lied To by Right Wing Media

Yet more crude and vulgar hate speech that we've come to expect from yet another far-right "Christian". We quote (With no corrections to his poor syntax, spelling and grammar):
"why don't all you stupid liberals wash the horseshit out of your brains. morally bankrupt hopers and dreamers without any sense of reality. don't you ever call conservatives Liars. You just hate when you're caught red handed spreading satan's work all over the planet."
- Greg Howard, owner of Pleasant valley pools (Lack of proper capitalization, his own).
Our reply:
Wow, Greg Howard, we'll quote you on that on our main page, because you certainly prove to be the typical and expected points of this page. Unless you think those Republicans are perfect saints, everyone lies to some degree, and no one here is stooping to your lie that anyone called them "liars", but of course you probably can't comprehend the difference between labeling someone "liar" and addressing lies on their own merits....because if lies make people "liars", then we all are.
Aside from that, anyone is free to call anybody anything they want. It's called free speech or the First Amendment to the Constitution.
You're also "bearing false witness" about the administrators of this page, who are two Registered Independents and two Registered Republicans, who, as with Bob Dole, John McCain, Colin Powell, Bush's David Frum, etc., are tired of right-wing extremism such as yours doing damage to the Republican brand....speaking of which...
You're not only caught "red handed spreading satan's work" with your own lies by misquoting people, but you stoop to the very UnChristian and primitive emotionalism by evoking an ancient iron-age fairy tale (satan) that your alleged "all-knowing, all-creator" created, yet "knew" people of your low caliber would sin nevertheless.
An alleged "god" who "creates" an "eternal lake of fire", is no god, but a monster that would make Hitler's torture chambers appear like playgrounds...oh wait...your alleged "god" also "created" Hitler.
You, Greg Howard, owner-operator of Pleasant Valley Pools, are "caught red-handed" clinging to your socialized belief system, built on lies and contradictions about an "all-powerful god" (who would thus have power over "satan") of which you have not one shred of proof and evidence for.
Your type of hate speech and generalizations are lies, Greg Howard, as other Republicans point out, with proof and evidence in the right-wing extremists' own words:
