1. Fox News?...more like Rant from the Right..that is what they should call it..nt

2. Um

Yes. My family relations have personally been destroyed by the BS propaganda pumped by FOX news. They are the scourge of the airwaves. They promote hatred, lies and division. The world was a much better place without FOX.

I would celebrate if they just went away.

But whatever...

3. There's a reason you're one of my favorite hosts, Thom...

You're calm, reasonable, intelligent, and deliberate. And you can parse Republican nonsense with the best of them.

4. day after day of proof that the right wing is de ranged and unteachable.

As much as I like Thom, I just don't know why he puts these people on. They have some kind of brain damage and cannot possibly accept any 'facts' except the ones they are indoctrinated to. He does not stick to one argument to conclusion. I admired Lawrence ODonnell yesterday talking to a regular (protester) citizen and how he was very kind but made his point softly because "she was not in the business of being on camera". Thom kinda treats everyone like ODonnell treated this misinformed non-media know-nothing lady who showed up at a meeting to talk about the latest RW talking points (grandma, forced to buy public option, raising my taxes, etc). This IS Schrodinger's Cat. Thom should go that route- back before the box.

7. Fox's brand of main stream manipulation is certainly criminal in my mind.

It seems clear that there is intent in the design and delivery of their content, and subsequently culpable should anyone act on what Fixed Noise urges them to do. Their hosts, as much as I'd like to single a couple of them out, are a consistent stable of voices which drip with disdain as a unit, so it's easy to want to conclude this is network or station policy.

Is there any way you could invite someone either currently with or formerly of the Federal Communications Commission and interview them as what recourse a public has when an audience is being conditioned to act in a less than legal manner?

Thank you for the way you fight the good fight sir, it's always an entertaining education.

I'm generally in the habit of expressing gratitude with half a dozen home made chocolate chip cookies, so, tag you're it! I wouldn't resort to trying to bribe you in such a shameless manner, but my computer seems to get a bit of indigestion every time I try to load your web site or join.
