Last week when I went to have my teeth cleaned the hygienist had Fox on the tv. I lost 10 IQ points. I haven't seen Fox in years but was still surprised how dumbed down and insipid it was.”

“Again, Who watches TV in the first place? Secondly, why do they watch what they want to hear, instead of what might start making sense if they listen? Does 'redneck' fit in with any of the above?”

“Diane Sawyer?

Really dude?

That's your best hope? Diane Sayer...

What happened to people like Tim Russert or Tony Snow?

Elite Media has lost it's influence and no longer guides the news. People get it. People are seeking their own news because they can no longer rely on most media outlets for complete and accurate reporting. If not for George Sorros, it'd be all over”

“ha!

George Soros pays for this libby stuff out of his pocket.

Rupert Murdock gets PAID by the people to put out his con stuff.

Big difference.

Soros won't last forever.”

“Strat - I don't watch tv much. I certainly don't get my news from it.

My post was in answer to Stovie's request for the source of the network news ratings I posted above.”

“Well that would explain the votes for Al Green”

“Murdoch/Soros, no difference, same result, just control over people who can't think for themselves, so, need someone else to blame and the government is custom made to be blamed for all the bi-products of special interest greed. How are those wars going , mongers?”

“I know violin, your a Soros boy for sure....”

“What networks does Soros fund?”

“Al Greene, XL. Note the extra 'e'.”

“In addition to Media Matters and the Open Society Soros and his foundations have had a hand in funding such noteworthy leftist organizations as the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy; the Tides Foundation; the Tides Center; the National Organization for Women; Feminist Majority; the American Civil Liberties Union; People for the American Way; Alliance for Justice; NARAL Pro-Choice America; America Coming Together; the Center for American Progress; Campaign for America's Future; Amnesty International; the Sentencing Project; the Center for Community Change; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Human Rights Watch; the Prison Moratorium Project; the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement; the National Lawyers Guild; the Center for Constitutional Rights; the Coalition for an International Criminal Court; The American Prospect; MoveOn.org; Planned Parenthood; the Nation Institute; the Brennan Center for Justice; the Ms. Foundation for Women; the National Security Archive Fund; the Pacifica Foundation; Physicians for Human Rights; the Proteus Fund; the Public Citizen Foundation; the Urban Institute; the American Friends Service Committee; Catholics for a Free Choice; Human Rights First; the Independent Media Institute; MADRE; the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Immigration Law Center; the National Immigration Forum; the National Council of La Raza; the American Immigration Law Foundation; the Lynne Stewart Defense Committee; and the Peace and Security Funders Group.

“What networks does Soros fund?”

“You said you don't watch TV and I replied Yeah you're a Soros guy, like Media Matters, as opposed to networks. I never said he funded networks. Although that's not to say he doesn't have any influence over them.

Soros has his greedy fingers in so many progressive causes it's pretty much impossible to list them all.

“In an awkward moment on Fox News this week, a pundit suggested that a member of the Saudi royal family who has supported the bridge-building work of the imam behind a planned Muslim community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan �funds radical madrasas all over the world.� The awkwardness came from the fact � unmentioned by anyone on the Fox set � that the same Saudi, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, also happens to be the second-largest shareholder in News Corp., the parent company of the Fox News Channel.

Alwaleed owns about 7 percent of News Corp., or about $3 billion of the media giant.
