Reply #3: A Law Of Diminishing Returns...

I applaud the White House for speaking the truth about faux and calling them for what we know they are to be...a propaganda outlet for the RNC. Unfortunately the corporate media is afraid of murdoch and his money. For some, they don't want to shut the door on a possible employer or honk off his publishing companies. Some seem to be "concerned" that by calling out its bias and bile, it's an indictment of the entire corporate media (which it is) as these people still haven't gotten the message that by coddling faux and trying to frame them as legitimate they ruined their own credibility in the process.

That said, methinks its time for this Administration just to shut faux out and not say a word about it...no need to. For the vast majority who don't watch that vile waste of electrons, there are far more important things to focus on. Best to isolate and ignore as the longer you stay in the mud with these slime merchants, the dirtier you become.

Today's corporate media hsa become an island to themselves...totally disconnected from the consumer and strictly playing to advertisers and their own resumes. Real journalism won't work on any of the cables cause that involves expenses and time that aren't "sexy"...a picture of a balloon floating away is far more "compelling" than a diagram of how healthcare works. When they do focus on a human "interest" story...it's always to exploit it and then move along...very little follow up. For example, yesterday, there was some dynamic and shocking testimony regarding how creditors hounded a family in the ICU unit while their child was dying...yet the only place I saw any coverage of this was a quick report and then back to the circus of the day.

Those who watch faux do so by choice...and so be it. They reach a small minority of both viewers and the electorate. Time to move onto other truly serious issues and let faux keep polluting their own toybox. The point's been proven...
