As reported by Lou Dobbs on CNN, it is required that all TVs for the VP suite be programmed for Fox News only. :smile:

Talk about a closed loop!

Oxygenated morons?

I gave them a chance, and just when I could barely take it any more, I saw that they had hired Mark Furman as a field reporter - the corrupt cop from the OJ Simpson trial who basically blew the case by tampering with or planting the evidence. That did it for me.

We get ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS nightly news here.

But the government does not allow our brains to be infected with the right wing drivel of Fox news.

Thank the lord jeebus for that.
 
HAH, Lou Dobbs. That guy loves to hear the sound of his own voice. What a tool.

Considering that he and some radio guy basically killed the Dubai deal, I'd say that he is not the only one listening. :biggrin:

But yes, he does make his agenda and opinion clear: He is out to stop the de facto war on the middle class being waged by the corporations. And from what I see he has no interest in partisanship. Rather, he is issue driven.
