    That was awesome. You post the truth about something…and you leave us with a MSN link.
    Well done. I laughed pretty hard at it.

    Three former Fox Broadcasting Company executives apologized on Wednesday for inadvertently helping to create Fox News’ “disinformation machine.”

    In a blog post titled, “How Our Efforts to Bring Competition To Television Unknowingly Helped Create the Fox Disinformation Machine,” former Fox Broadcasting Company executives Preston Padden, Ken Solomon, and Bill Reyner issued a formal apology for their part in the company’s rise to success:


    For what little it may, or may not, be worth at this point, Preston Padden, Ken Solomon and Bill Reyner wish to express their deep disappointment for helping to give birth to Fox Broadcasting Company and Fox Television that came to include Fox News Channel — the channel that prominently includes news that, in the words of Sidney Powell’s counsel, “no reasonable person would believe.”

    The executives stated that while they never had a part in the creation of Fox News specifically, they had “greatly admired Rupert Murdoch and his vision” and had “genuinely believed that the creation of a fourth competitive force in broadcast television was in the public interest.”

    “We never envisioned, and would not knowingly have enabled, the disinformation machine that, in our opinion, Fox has become,” they claimed, arguing that Fox News “has had many negative impacts on our society.”

    I get that, but please keep this rule in mind when starting a thread:

    Q. Initial posts must contain original comment from the person starting a thread. An initial post containing only a linked headline, meme, or quote will be deleted if it does not also include an original comment from the person starting the thread on why the OPster thinks the posted topic worthy of discussion or debate.

    Comments must be more substantial than an inane, "This is interesting." Poster is required to expand on what's interesting about the topic being posted

    References to the race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion of a person or people are not permitted in the thread's title unless that mention directly pertains to the topic of the thread.

    LOL at people who follow FOX so as to shake fists at it. FOX is little more than controlled opposition these days. MSM is so bound to mega corporations that you have to look hard for real alternative news sources.

    Or just add a substantial comment to your first post? Something that says 'Here is what this is about and why I think it's important ..."
