News Corp. doesn’t currently serve the education market, having sold a U.K.-based education-publishing business in 2005. The company also divested an education-publishing division of its book publisher HarperCollins in 1996.

1. FOX, as Jon Stewart says , is not even CLOSE to news.

Klein is not even CLOSE to an educator.

3. the Anti-American Anti-Middleclass Elitist Fascist Propaganda Network

where views are skewed and the wealthy are ALWAYS represented.

To FOX viewers: you are the biggest disappointments in America... dumb ignorant people easily fooled by the wealthy class that would love to take over this country, and you are making it happen... fuck you!

5. What's wrong with having someone who acutally has a BACKGROUND in education?

Because they're more likely to be pro-union?
