Fox News fills niche

Dear Editor:

Obama is truly black? Is Mr. Jones sure about that?

Fox News is the only objective reporting service? Really?

In contrast to that Jones “story”, the mainstream knows that the Hannity and Beck types are only slightly to the left of Attila the Hun in politics and further to the right of Pat Robertson in terms of fantasy.

Did you ever wonder why a “socialist” CBS station would air the 700 Club every weekday morning? Is it just to provide entertainment to those 700 viewers? In reality, television is a business, and there are markets for all kinds of nonsense.

The racists and patriots also need their daily fixes of propaganda to keep them feeling superior. Hate radio is simply not able to reach all of them all of the time. Fox News fills the racist-patriot niche 24 hours a day.

Free speech remains alive and well!

Correction, Mr. Smith. It's not the main-stream media, it's the government-run media now.

Hmmm....

Racist-Patriot? Curious combination there, Mr. Smith. How does that work? Are all racists patriots, or are all patriots racists?

Niche? That a pretty big niche Fox News is filling. I guess one man's "niche" is another man's ratings giant.

Freedom of speech means people get to say even the dumbest things, but it doesn't make what they say any less stupid. If the shoe fits, Smith, scrape the bubblegum off of it and keep on shuffling to the left. Keith Olbermann still loves you.

In my mind, Fox news plays to an audience similar to that of professional wrestling.These folks want their hate-patriot talk and, by golly, don't confuse me with the facts!

Who is a racist? To call a Fox viewer or a Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck fan a racist across the board is just plain wrong. Do you love American and the freedoms that we have now or do you just want to see them slip away. You have the freedom to watch the channel that you prefer and the radio station that you want to and I don't call you ugly names. Why don't I have the same freedom that you have? I don't hate you because you have a different opinion than mine, why can't we agree to disagree? America is about diversity!

We so called racist and patriots are much too backwoods and dumb to separate fair and balanced news reporting from political commentary and spirited political debate and entertainment. Guess I better flip back over to the communist news network or PBS before Boortz, Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly warp my mind. Since this hayseed can separate the two I do indeed feel a bit superior.
