Good to see you here!

As I just (ironically enough) commented on the always-enlightening Moue Magazine site: The Fourth Estate used to fail us by its inability to keep us properly informed. Now, it’s failing us because it quite effectively keeps us DISINFORMED!

I think the only way to “fight back” is to turn our backs on the freaking thing.

See you ’round.

The very fact that Fox exists is a sad state of affairs in the world. It can only pretend to be a news organization because it so well imitates what we see on other channels. They all forgo news to include groups of people sitting around chatting with or yelling at each other, just slightly different groups for each channel. And since they all offer "balance," Fox's news doesn't seem that reactionary compared to the other channels. I'd love to think that our current state of affairs could change post-Bush, but seeing how Fox handled Obama's brilliant speech, and how much they thrived under Clinton/Gore, I am not optimistic.
