John Moody (Fox News exec) "No diversity of opinions"

[johnnyrocket]

Holy cow, Moody equates people who might think "rape is good" to having diversity of opinions on their news network.


After an hour and a half, the interview was drawing to a close, but Moody graciously hung in for more. I inquired about ways he thought FOX News could "increase the variety of perspectives and opinions" in its news shows. Moody surprised me, responding, "Diversity is not necessarily a strength.

"There is a cut off point of adding people somewhere," he continued. "The opinions presented on our network represent a fair spectrum of responsible thought on major topics. Take the Duke lacrosse story -- suppose there's someone who believes that rape is good. We could put them on the air, but it wouldn't add to the discussion. So diversity of opinion isn't the only issue.

1. If someone thinks rape it good they should be on Faux News!

Anything that puts a nail in their coffin works for moi :)

2. I'd love to have him define his idea of

"responsible thought" a little more clearly.

6. Me too, Suich

Interesting terminology, I think...

3. Well, you can take it too far..

For instance, if you put a Liberal on Fox, that would be too much, because Liberals all hate America and just want to kill all freedom-loving people.

There are limits, you know.

4. Actually, I thought this phrase is most curious...

"The opinions presented on our network represent a fair spectrum of responsible thought on major topics."

Interesting word choice to say the least, so I would guess that any idea that comes from anyone to the left of Adolph Hitler would be considered "irresponsible" thought. What an asshole.

7. Responsible thought as outlined by Murdoch and Prince al-Walid.

Political Correctness.

5. That's his secret belief

Sick, just sick.
