This is Susan E talking about the idiot liberals’ drug induced obsession and hatred with Fox News.
Ya know I’m a pretty simple dude, maybe that tis why I don’t understand the liberals hatred of a freaking news network.
Yes, I think the media bias is a bit out of control, but as a conservative I’m use to it, I expect them to be biased, I expect anti-right spin and distortion, however I don’t HATE MSNBC, NBC, ABC whatever. I would never call for those networks to be off the air, banned, have debates steered from those networks or any type of censorship.
As much as I hate Keith Olberman, and I clearly think he is a moronic bastard, I don’t want him off the air, hell him being on the air is good for the right. He is the poster child for “anemic grey matter syndrome” typically found in left leaning learning disabled types who are obsessed with George Bush and tax cuts.
I have always thought to myself, if I were to get to the point where I would advocate the censorship of any news or media resource then I would be clearly in need of the straight jacket and the padded rooms.
Liberals are increasingly getting more and more anti-free speech and I’m not exactly sure why this is.
Props to Susan for standing up and speaking out against this nonsense, but you can bet she will pay a high price for this piece.
By Susan Estrich - Fox NewsIt’s the unbridled ugliness that gets to me, the people who don’t disagree but hate, don’t criticize but attack with a sledgehammer, use language I wouldn’t use with my worst enemy. Often, very often actually, the subject of their ire isn’t even anything I say, but the mere fact that I say it or write it on Fox News.
People who would never say such things in public write them online, free to expose and explore their darkest side, at the expense of whoever is unfortunate enough to find themselves on the wrong web page. And what’s almost as stunning as the ugliness is how few people dare to stand up and condemn it, to say that it’s wrong, to put their money where their mouths are.

If you don’t like FOX News, you don’t have to watch it. If you’d rather hear from people with different points of view, they are out there. Watch them. Listen to them. Write invective-free letters to FOX telling them what you’ll watch and what you won’t. But boycotts and countervailing boycotts? Threatening advertisers? Harrassing those of us who believe it’s important that the other side be heard?
We may have a disagreement on whether it’s the right strategy to go on a network whose hosts you often disagree with (as conservatives do with MSNBC) or not, but that shouldn’t turn allies into enemies, or those you disagree with into traitors.
Traitors are people who turn on our country, not who appear on a news network you don’t like. Enemies are people who would kill our children, not those who agree to debate those you don’t want to watch. Both sides are guilty of destroying public discourse in the guise of engaging in it, but hearing that the Left is as bad as the Right, or vice versa, doesn’t excuse either side.
