I agree that the Patriot Act was bi-partisan (Hello, Joe Biden!), same with Iraq War II (Hello, Joe Biden!) but they were under the administration of the Republican Smirking Chimp, Bush II.

FOX News has way more watchers than CNN and MSNBC combined, so even though it's the only conservative "mainstream" broadcast media, it still has a lot more clout than the other two.

And the Right's Outrage Machine never let up with Obama "Barack Hussein ordered DIJON mustard - how Un-American!!!" whereas the rightwing media allowed Tubby the Grifter to lie a few hundred times a day, often huge lies, without any kind of accountability.

I'm an equal opportunity hater, but fair is fair, and the bottom line is that both the rightwing and the "left" wing media in this country (the US) are bought and are just puppets to the true Powers That Be.

I agree that Fox News, CNN and MSNBC are all terrible and bad ways to get "news". I don't agree that the social impact of the bullshit from Fox is equal to the social impact of the bullshit from the other two.
