The OpEd: Is Fox News going too far? Posted on Monday, July 26, 2010 Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Howard Dean calls Fox News racist. Give me your thoughts...

Comments:

	President Obama needs to direct the FCC AND the Justice Department to investigate FOX And the News Corporation. No Company should be permitted to smear names and reputations and incite violence against others. PULL THERE DAMN BROADCAST LICENSE! Good for Howard Dean, HE should be President!

	Try clicking YES on the survey at the top, then try clicking NO, wow talk about a rigged system; kind of like their voting machines. http://www.drudgereport.com/?/? Posted by Kevin, Terra Haute

	I do not mind listening to a George Will or a David Brooks who are intelligent conservatives. At least when you listen to guys like this there are facts put into an argument. You actually can learn something from a literate, smart, educated person who happens to know the difference between facts and conservative ideology. Walter Mondale has lamented that back in the 1970's and 80's when both parties worked together that government worked better for everyone. Frequently, a bipartisan law is a stronger and better law. It is also better because it draws both the extreme left and right towards the center which is exactly what you need for good governance. Conservatives and Liberals have a role in correcting each others mistakes and reeling in their excesses. We have never loved each other but some issues like health care, immigration, foreign policy and other major issues require bipartisanship. This is the way America used to work three decades ago, at least some or most of the time behind the scenes. Tip O'Neil used to talk to Ronald Reagan regularly etc. Fox News is not an organization that promotes better conservative ideas and thoughts for better governance. Rather than trying to promote thoughtful debate to improve our political discourse they appear to be nothing but an organization to improve corporate power over the "little people" like me who work or have worked mostly for a Main Street companies, go to regular state colleges, serve in the military, and have ordinary homes, marriages, and families. Fox News seems to not care about us "little people". They only seem to care about how corporations can keep ripping us off, retain their wealth and power, and make sure all the profits are privatized and liabilities "socialized" by the taxpayer. Fox News is not about promoting capitalism they are all about using propaganda, fear mongering, hate, and negativity to derail President Obama or anyone else who threatens large corporate monopolies with quaint ideas about regulation and social justice. Fox News is a symptom of corporate monopoly power run and hyper partisanship run amok. Posted by Rex, Moorhead

	Oh please. MSNBC is no different than Fox other than their political ideology. As a matter of fact, Keith Olbermann and Big Eddie wouldn't have anything to say if Bill O'Reilly , Sean Hannity or Glen Beck weren't there. I see MSNBC cover more of what Fox is doing than reporting real news which actually means something to the public. Perhaps if MSNBC actually became a 24 hour news channel instead of showing Lock Up and other shows all weekend, they might not feel so behind the game come Monday. Then again, it could be it gives them 2 extra days to fill each and every hour of their hosts spots. Those who whine are usually the losers of the bunch. MSNBC can't go a night without mentioning Fox News. On the other hand, those who lead with silence dominate. I rarely hear MSNBC mentioned on Fox News. The view is simple, why acknowledge an insignificant competitor? Posted by Daniel, robbinsdale, mn

	Rex, That would be Former President Ronald Reagan, please according to the rules set forth by M from Fargo on this blog. Thanks you tim Posted by tim

	3 decades ago began with RONALD REAGAN! Yep, the GRAND DADDY of WORST PRESIDENTS - yup, America sure did work then. He started the religalious, conservative, right, big business rules, break up the middle class Publican strategy. and Don Henley said it best: "They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail..." HE CERTAINLY LEFT HIS MARK: EVIL DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE DAMAGE HE CAUSED TO THIS NATION. Posted by Kevin, Terra Haute

	You mean the Newt Ginrich who was always accusing the Dems of ethics violations, then was fined 300K himself for ethics violations and trouble with the IRS? The Newt who was trying to nail Clinton to the cross for his affair while he himself was having an affair? That Newt? He personifies the hypocritical Right. He'd make a great candidate. Him and Palin, dream team. Hypocrite and Bimbo. And Fox? I'm not into fiction that much. People that swallow that pap wholesale want to believe it. Truth is irrelevant.

	Howard Dean is right, fox news is racist, and they are HATERS of dems, liberals.....My question is Where is DNC Chairman Tim Kearns? It's Tim or Tom, you see or hear from him so rarely, you can't remember his name. Why isn't he out there more "beating back" the gop's? Terry and Howard both when they were DNC Chairman came out "fighting", the current chairman is 'QUIET"!! When the dems needs more fight-back agaisnt these gop's of the NO party. Posted by dee

	Howard Dean should have been Chief of Staff!!! Rahm is a sell out!! Go Howard and Keep talking all over the National News stations!! If he is the only one with balls then so be it...But I will tell you what...He is right and the more he talks the more people will listen...We all need to have his back and write the news outlets and let them know we want to see more of him!! Harry isn't out there...infact no one is.... Posted by Dianna

	You just gotta love liberals. Posted by tim

	Tim: How about those GOP ideas for energy policy? Oh excuse Republicans do not answer substantive policy questions. Did you see the AP story the other day showing the top richest one percent of households own 83% of all stocks in America. The same story showed greater numbers of Americans on food stamps, greater numbers of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and fewer Americans are contributing to retirement accounts plus there are over 1.4 million bankruptcies filed in America. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and the middle class seems to just trickle away into a new level of poverty. This is what conservative supply side economics has done to this country it is wrecking the middle class in this country. Check out the AP story at: http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/the-u.s.-middle-class-is-being-wiped-out-here%27s-the-stats-to-prove-it-520657.html?tickers=^DJI,^GSPC,SPY,MCD,WMT,XRT,DIA Posted by Rex, Moorhead

	Rex, Why are you not DIRECTING YOUR frustration at PRESIDENT OBAMA? He has the big stick, the bully pullpit, these are extrordinary times, I believe most would agree. So why are you, et al not getting absolutely livid with this President - the buck does stop with him. He is pushing watered down everything, nothing BOLD, HE is the one that can get up there and say FOLKS enough is enough, we are all going to work together and put this country back to work PERIOD, and you Congress folks WILL VOTE FOR THE PEOPLES NEEDS. PERIOD. And ALL AMERICAN companys hiding taxes in the Caymens, and other places will have 100% tarrifs on any of your products coming back in this country. PERIOD. But Rex, he is doing NONE of that, he is "rolling over" at every critical stage. He has way more power and latitude then he is choosing to use. Then of course there is the PEN executive orders...... Posted by Babe, Portland

	Rex, you are wrong. The middle class is killing the middle class. Instead of buying the iphone and the other crap maybe they should invest in some companies. Instead they are buying crap and getting no roi. It isn't the fault of the rich that they understand how to make money. It is the fault of the poor not learning from those who know how to make money. Posted by Clint, Colorado

	I AM A DISABLED VET AND I'VE SEEN LIFE FROM THE VERY BOTTOM. I AM A WHITE MALE LIVING IN A VERY RED STATE [LESS THEN 30 MILE FROM ONE OF THE HEAD KKK] HERE WHERE I LIVE THE CHURCHES TELL THERE PEOPLE WHO TO VOTE FOR. THEY PREACH HATE FOR ANY THAT DON'T FOLLOW THERE BELIEVES. I HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT BELIEVE THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE SAME AS ME. THE SAME BLACK PEOPLE WHO HAD MY BACK IN THE ARMY. IT JUST MAKES ME SICK. THERE IS TO MANY PEOPLE PREACHING HATE AND IT SCARES ME. WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS AND I FEEL TROUBLE IS A BREWING GOD BLESS ALL AND KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN Posted by TERRY SMITH YELLVILLE ARK.
