Fox News Producers Resigning In Protest Over War Coverage

"We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that. Not only are you an instrument of the Bush White House, and Israeli propaganda, you are war mongers with no sense of decency, nor professionalism."

Uh? What? They only recently managed to figure all that out????

No wonder journalism is in such a pathetic state.

Well, they ARE giving up their livelyhoods. I know several people that hate their jobs but dare not leave for fear of homelessness.

I don't really care that it might have taken them a long time to leave, I just care that they finally got up the gumption to call it as it is and get the hell out of dodge.

I'd rather be homeless than work for any propaganda outlet.

These two slimy individuals knew full well what they were getting into the day they applied for the job. Worse yet, they've been an active part of the very problem they are complaining about! They should be ashamed of themselves, but instead the place 100% of the blame on their former higher-ups.

In any event, it's good that they at least quit, although I have to wonder if it was done only to save their own skins.

I have heard it said "Life is like a shit sandwich, The more bread ya got the less shit ya havta eat"


apparently some folks got lots of bread
the rest eat shit, take shit, believe shit, don't give a shit, have shit eating grins, do shit, don't do shit and the list goes on
(with apologies to George Carlin)

Fox News Watch is as Hypocritical as other Fox Shows. You should be ashamed of blasting REUTERS
when several Fox Shows reported outright lies Friday Aug 4th and Monday Aug 7th

It's been 5 days now since "THE FACTOR" and H&C lied to their audience regarding the size of the demonstrations in Iraq last Friday.
It's been 3 days since "THE BIG STORY" and H&C lied about the Hezbollah Drone carrying explosives.
What happened to "NO SPIN ZONE", "FAIR and BALANCED" and THE MOST TRUSTED NETWORK
Reuters took action in less than 24 hours!

Foxnews and in particular Oreilly, Hannity and Banderas are all Hypocrites. Again today Oreilly
chastised the Boston Globe for slanting a news story in a direction he disagreed with because the Globe
is affiliated with the New York Times.
Oreilly, Hannity and Banderas reported FLAT OUT LIES Friday and again on Monday and they
refuse to report corrections.
See the Emails below.

Bill Oreilly, Sean Hannity , Julie Banderas and their producers at The Fox News Networks are HYPOCRITES. John Kasich probably belongs in this group as well. He was sitting in for Bill Oreilly
and reported that there were 14,000 Iraqi demonstrators Friday. How dare they chastise Reuters over
2 touched up photos. Hannity said that there were 100's of Iraqi demonstrators.
I sent an Email to Bill, John and Sean on Friday pointing out their gross misrepresentation of the MASSIVE
demonstrations Friday in Baghdad in support of Hezbollah and against the US, Israel and Britain.
I stated that there were over 200,000 Iraqi's demonstrating in favor of Hezbollah and against US, Britain and Israel. They also deliberately mis-reported the Hezbollah drone was carrying about 80 pounds of explosives today. The news I read said the IDF was investigating whether it had explosives..
On Friday I requested that they report a RETRACTION and report the correct information 3 times this week.
Well NO RETRACTION ON MONDAY! But they did find time to CONDEMN REUTERS which Julie and
Hannity led the charge on "The Big Story".
Fox touts themselves as "FAIR AND BALANCED", "THE NETWORK YOU CAN TRUST"
"NO SPIN ZONE"
Is the FOX NEWS NETWORK a WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY of the BUSH ADMINISTRATION?
The news that is reported on FOX is certainly slanted in favor of the Bush Policies.
The Email I sent early today follows.

Julie Banderas
You and Sean Hannity chastised Reuters for publishing 2 doctored photos today. They fired the freelancer and purged all of his work from their database.

On Friday FOX misrepresented the news at least TWICE.
John Kasich on the Oreilly Factor reported that 14,000 Iraqi's demonstrated in Baghdad streets.
Sean Hannity reported that 100's of Iraqi's demonstrated in Baghdad streets.

THE FACTS ARE THAT OVER 200,000 Iraqi's demonstrated in Baghdad streets against the US, Britain
Israel and in favor of Hezbollah. Anyone looking at the 10 seconds of video showing the demonstrators would know that 100's was way out in left field and 14,000 was not even close to the actual number demonstrating.

Should John, Bill and Sean be FIRED!

You and H&C reported that the "DRONE" shot down today by Israel was caring about 80 pounds of explosives.
The Israeli Army has reported that it was unsure if the "DRONE" was caring ANY EXPLOSIVES.
The IDF is still investigating.
This is STRIKE THREE for Fox since Friday.

YOU and the H&C producer SHOULD BE FIRED!
