I have no problems with Fox News or with Teabag Protests. It's that the two work together that makes Fox unworthy of being

considered a true news source.

By giving Birthers and Baggers monetary support and organizational help, they've stopped reporting the news and started creating the news.

Responses:

That's funny given that the other "news" organizations created the "tea bagger" slur to begin with. Yeah, that's objective journalism. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 11:56 8
- Wait, what? How is it a slur to call a political group something they are calling themselves? -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:04
- Really? Because Fox seems to have no problem using it in a positive sense on a regular basis. - TWuG Nov 3, 11:59 2
  - It's a lot like the n-word. They're taking it back. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 12:00 1
    - I'm not quite sure about the chronology here. -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 12:10
- Again the point is objectivity. The point being argued is whether they are passively involved and providing commentary or organizing an opposition. - pmb Nov 3, 11:58 3
  - And my point is the MSNBC is an active part of the opposition to the opposition. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 11:59 1
    - They aren't organizing. They aren't promoting or organizing protests. There is a distinction, though I agree it's a fine line. - pmb Nov 3, 12:02
  - Sorry. The point "isn't" objectivity. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 11:58
