This is the 10 year anniversary of 'Outfoxed,

Rupert Murdoch's War On Journalism," the documentary that exposed the Murdoch/Ailes network for what it is, the propaganda arm of the Republican party, who paid over $120 million, to be included with 'legitimate' news agencies, which some people never knew, some forgot and others just 'don't care', cuz they can have their biases validated, daily.

From Wikipedia:

To accelerate its adoption by cable providers, Fox News paid systems up to $11 per subscriber to distribute the channel.[19] This contrasted with the normal practice, in which cable operators paid stations carriage fees for programming, and it totalled over $120 million. 

"Outfoxed," caused a major stir when it was released in 2004. The film leveled stinging allegations at the network, accusing it of conservative bias, politicized coverage and strategic manipulation of its viewers. Greenwald has said that he thinks the documentary was one of the first forthright attacks on Fox News at a time when many still remained uncertain of its agenda.


Kinda hard to remember when there was even a doubt, but 'Outfoxed' was revolutionary at the time, when some people thought FOX was a legitimate new network. Sadly, there are those out there, and I mean 'Out There', who still look to Bullshit Mountain for actual 'news'. There are also still people who believe the earth is flat. I know, both statements are hard to believe.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
