It’s no wonder FOX is such a Republican propaganda machine when you have people like Roger Ailes running the network, under majority owner Rupert Murdoch. Both are old like their viewers, but hopefully, whoever takes over in the near future will realize they’ll need to attract a younger audience if they are to maintain their popularity. Other wise, they’ll be on a fast track to oblivion. When they’re replaced, lets hope they become more moderate and stop misrepresenting the truth. If they do, people like Hannity, Doocy, and all the others who continually mislead their viewers by using scare tactics and misleading statements will no longer have a place on the network.

I think the MOST RIDICULOUS thing to witness, for anyone who was not brainwashed in the US, is mainstream America’s baby fear of the word “socialist”. For a society priding itself with inclusiveness and tolerance, this hysteria is an absolute joke, revealing to the world the level of conditioning that the US subjects its people to through endless propaganda.

The president of France is a socialist, and France has a long tradition of socialism in or near power, just like the rest of Europe. Socialist governments get elected and there are no gulags, no curtailing freedom of expression and, for that matter, nothing but a slight itch for the richest in those countries who may be prevented – occasionally – only to take unelected power as they do here in the US.

Who cares even if Jon Stewart is a socialist, which I don’t think he is as he seems to the right of the Occupy movement, which he does not understand nor seems to want to (after all, he’s just a comedian doing political satire).

And Occupy is center left at the most, according to all political standards except the US’.

I wish Americans started walking the walk of freedom and inclusion. it’s ok to have a socialist party, it’s ok to have a communist party or even a nazi party for that matter. People are free to create their own delusions.

What is not ok is to curtail other’s freedoms (provided those freedoms do not damage the freedom of others). And to declare a nation as the standard bearer of freedom in the world, all the while repressing and demonizing dissent as it is happening these days on the streets, on the internet, in prisons, in courtrooms all over the US is building a growing stain of shameful hypocrisy which only the Americans – thanks to their hypocritical mainstream media – is not immediately obvious.

But the rest of the world, as well as the history books, know very well that the US is a failing empire attempting to maintain power through intimidation, coercion, and abuse, now applied to its own citizens.

I only wish Jon Stewart was a socialist, it would speak volumes for a free media and freedom of expression. Unfortunately, he’s as far away from being a socialist as Warren Buffet, or for that matter, Obama, is.

Ailes has his chance at funny with that derpfest Half hour news hour. To say it was material that would make a buzzard gag is a understatement. Ironically the most humorous part of Faux nooze is the fact that they believe that they hold sway over the American populace, when in fact it’s the country’s entire population of derpies whom swim around that large red bubble they surround themselves in. When that bubble pops and they realize they aren’t as big they were led to believe, whooee look out.

Roger Ailes LIES. He needs to go eat another deep fried rack of tainted elephant.
