fairly dangerous entertainment

The above video is interesting in it clearly gives a non bias standing on how Fox News is as it is today.

Now I couldn't really care less about the American media, and there is nothing I like better than people who criticize Obama for the fact he is fighting an endless war in Afghanistan with no clear objective and breaking various electoral promises, but even I can't stomach the outright lies designed to spark an angry crowd with ever mounting hatred in their hearts.

The real issue at the moment regarding Obama above all is the war in Afghanistan which has seen increasing troop numbers there, the real question the media should be pressing to the president is why the US is in Afghanistan and what the clear objective ought to be.

However a homicidal war Bush started in 2001 is hardly news to them, and once the white Christian American boys are killing brown Muslim "Jihadists' I'm sure they'll turn a blind eye to it!

The exact kind of lies Fox use against Obama (socialist, fascist etc.) were used to scrutiny John F. Kennedy, an example being the below flier, several of which were posted around Dallas Texas before Kennedy's faithful last visit!



Regardless of the title 'Fox News' the network has been classed as entertainment and the fact they have a constitutional right to report lies they do just that, instead of promoting an interesting or otherwise insightful point of view it creates its own reality regardless of the truth picking parts of culture or public figures to attack or scrutiny while ignoring the various 'men and women behind the curtain' that are running the real America into the ground.



I personally don't have any idea how anyone with a heart regardless of a political view/ideology can actually take blubbering Bill O'Reilly's half baked interviews or that loud mouth fat-face asshole Glenn Beck's stupid conceived bullshit seriously.

a real mass murderer?

Glenn Beck is a moron, proof of this can be seen in the "Real Story" section of his show.

This is usually the point where he takes a current news story, adds nothing to it but a few bad jokes and wild accusations, and then claims he is revealing some deep, dark truth to his viewer. He uses stupid, trite catchphrases like "cut and run" and "I'm a conservative but I happen to not be a Republican."
Here it is put into work on the 40th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara also known as 'Che the Revolutionary'.



I'll mention the "1,400 people on a log" bit later but first I'll analyze what truth of the matter this doofus is trying to put across, he starts by completely ignoring the background of the revolution and goes on to actually call his 40 year old dead subject a Stalinist era mass murder.

I'm not sure if he was referring there to the mere 300 or so people that were summarily executed (overseen by Che Guevara) following the revolution under a tribunal (since what was feared was that the mass oppressed Cuban people from the era of the Batista dictatorship would take matters into their own hands and murder them in the post revolution confusion).

This was when some 20,000 Cubans estimated to have been killed at the hands of Batista's accomplices, a survey at the time showing 93% public approval for the tribunal process, the newly empowered Cuban government along with Guevara concurred.

The Hugo Chavez reference made me cringe, maybe Beck should do some real journalism and look at the damage American imperialism has done to Latin America up until this day instead of spewing falsehoods on a dead man who was willing to do more for humanity than he could fathom.

A quote from a real man called Nelson Mandela relating to Che comes to my mind.

"Che Guevara is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom, we will always honor his memory."

Also comparing Che to Hitler doesn't make sense to me because I know who Adolf Hitler and Che Guevara were and the comparison that isn't there, but I suppose Beck's audience are people whose only understanding of history was that Hitler was just evil and therefore comparing Che Guevara to him must make Che just evil as well, anyone who believes their audience to be that gullible really doesn't deserve to have an audience.

For the sake of saving some time I will not go into any specific detail over the mass slaughter of Japanese civilians in the Pacific Theater in World War II a few years before Che the revolutionary came to being or the 3,000,000 Vietnamese that were murdered after his death, or the US support for the Contras in Nicaragua.

Now onto the retarded 1,400 people on a log trying to get to the United States I think he is referring to the handful of people over the past few years who have built home made rafts in an attempt to reach Florida, but there was never an instant where it was even over a hundred on a log as he put it yet alone so random number like 1,400 meaning that Glenn being the big blubbering moron he is obviously pulled this random and large number straight from his ass.

However there was one instance where over 125,000 Cubans arrived in South Florida in the Mariel boat lift in 1981, here is an interesting video on their impact when they arrived in America and were free!
