Why does Fox news hate America?






For the past few months Ive heard from the right wing noise machine that Iraq is really not that bad. They contend that the Main Stream Media is not covering the good news coming out of Iraq. Apparently, there are good things happening in Iraq but the people who control the media are either too liberal or too cowardly to cover these events. The Main Stream Media gets criticized for the news stories involving IEDs, wounded and killed American soldiers, car bombs exploding, beheaded bodies being dumped on city streets, judges being targeted for assassination, and mosques being blown up during afternoon prayers.

Well, I have a simple solution to this problem. If there are truly good things going on in Iraq, go find them and cover them! Fox News is one of the biggest critics of the Main Stream Media, which is ironic to me since they are the highest rated cable news operation in the country. If that does not make you a member of the Main Stream Media, I dont know what does.

I propose that Fox News devote a half hour of its 24 hour broadcast day to covering the good news in Iraq. Please show us where these stories are happening and tell us about them. They can even put the show on at 3am when they dont have to pre-empt their highly rated personality scream fests that are on in primetime.

I personally would like to see the good work that our troops are doing in getting Iraq back on its feet and forming a government. I think it would be good for us to see if there progress is truly being made towards building a viable society with some democratic values. Until Fox News gets off of their collective asses and tells me about it then I am going to assume that there are no good stories to cover and that the real situation on the ground in Iraq has to do with the chaos of civilians and Iraqi government officials being butchered in a civil war.

Send Sean Hannity or Geraldo Rivera or Bill OReilly to Baghdad to tell us the good news. I bet if they did go, they would not venture beyond the hotel bar.

Well Fox what are you waiting for? Are you pussies or do you just hate America?
