Fred Davidson seemed to think I liked Fox. I thought that was funny. On some
level that was Fox all over again, distorting the truth.
On the other hand it might just have been a further spin (somebody gotta
have got the irony in my first post).
Now your post naturally isn't humorous, so I won't treat it like that.
Now, that said, you're analysis is missing the most important thing.
Let's say a very rich man bought Fox and changed their whole system around.
Starting with some serious journalism etc.
Do you think the problem would disappear?
It didn't begin with Fox. It won't end with Fox.
You'll end up fighting wind mills if you fight Fox. Not that Fox isn't A
ENEMY. It's just not THE ENEMY.
And if you kill one, there's plenty more.
Fox is just an example of market pragmatism. It's all about the money. If
the truth would give more profit, they'd tell the truth.
The world didn't get fucked up 1996. Look closer... Look further.
