Faux "News" watchers i have a question for you

[AlCzervik]

i know if you watch it's most likely to keep an eye on the other side so i would like to know if Faux is doing damage control for Bennett or is having him the air. Thanks.

1. From what I've seen...

They're just not covering the story at all.

[AlCzervik]

2. well thats kind of damage control in a way.

[SteppingRazor]

4. Indeed. The most basic form of it.

The press are the gatekeepers of information, after all. In the end, we only know what is told to us by someone in the media, whether it be a mainstream organization like CNN or an independent, activist group.

7. You're welcome. Media Matters for America is a good site a s well.

I love the Newshounds. The best part is the section of the site where they publish e-mail that people have mistakenly sent to them thinking they were sending the messages to Faux News!

Bill Bennett Doesn't Get It. Trying To Defend His Racially Insensitive Comments On Hannity & Colmes, He Misses At Least Half The Reason People Were Offended

Bill Bennett appeared on Hannity & Colmes last night to talk about his controversial remarks about abortion and blacks made earlier in the week on his radio show. But his explanation seemed to indicate he didn't understand what the outcry is really about.

<snip>

In last night's "exclusvie interview" on Hannity & Colmes, Bennett seemed to think that the problem with his remarks was that people thought he was saying black babies should be aborted. That seemed to be the issue he wanted to clairfy, not his connection with blacks and crime. He complained to Alan Colmes about his quote being taken out of context. "When ("morally reprehensible") is included in the quote, (that) makes it perfectly clear what my position is." Without that phrase, Bennett said, it looked as though he supports such a "monstrous idea."

Bennett either ignored or overlooked how people such as Congressman John Conyers felt when he stated in a letter to the Salem Radio Network, "The fact that Mr. Bennett later acknowledged that such abortions would be "morally reprehensible," but added again that if it was done "the crime rate would go down," is equally outrageous."
