'The Five' Hosts (of Fox) Lash Out At Jon Stewart's Attacks

[QUOTE=Megafan;40461225]And it's not like he's a coward either, he's had Fox personalities on his show in the past, and even gone on Bill O'Reilly's show himself.[/QUOTE]

Colbert did as well, as I recall. Mr. O'Reilly had some extremely compelling insights into Colbert's sinister motivations, on account of the pronunciation of "Colbert" sounding French, and thus un-American.

idk that o'reilly was incredibly serious with colbert. he understands that colbert is a comedian. o'reilly obviously isn't as funny as colbert but i didn't think o'reilly actually took colbert seriously.

[QUOTE=DarkendSky;40462222]At least someone isn't jumping on the racism bandwagon. Seriously, I wish the FCC would man up and fine News Corporation for their awful racist bullshit they've been screaming for the past decade.[/QUOTE]
And they could do this how exactly?

Without repealing parts of the constitution beforehand that is...

Fox News is owned by News Corporation which also owns 20th Century Fox, and the WSJ. It's a mass media corporation.

CNN is owned by Turner Broadcasting Systems Inc. It's also a mass media corporation.

MSNBC is owned by NBCUniversal Media, LLC. And you guessed it, it's a mass media corporation.

And we wonder why American media is crap. In the end, they're all owned by "entertainment" companies. Unless there is something about Fox News in particular that sets it off from the rest that I've never heard of.[/QUOTE]
And comedy central is owned by viacom which also owns Paramount Pictures, they may not have any news links but they're a mass entertainment company

I mean I could go on forever

but like the below user said about MSNBC, what about ninemsn or yahoo7, owned by software companies and tv stations, doesn't mean it's a show its just a website

you're never going to find something not affiliated with a big name, that's simple.

well there are plenty of independent news sources. [URL="http://www.democracynow.org/"]Democracy Now![/URL] is my favorite.

Usually I only use tv news to tell me if a thing is happening so I can then go online and look it up through different sources.

[omggrass]

they are mad at john because he called them out on not lifting for our constitutional rights!

[TheHydra]

i hope this ends with him going on the show. jon vs. fox news is always a treat

[mfb412]

I can only assume Jon is laughing his ass off at this shit

[Codemaster85]

Every time i have accidentally saw the five it was literally them being the most biggoted people in the world while circlejerking on each other over how bad obama is and how hes a muslim immigrant terrorist.

"Expressions of views that do not involve a “clear and present danger of serious, substantive evil” come under the protection of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press and prevents suppression of these expressions by the FCC...[however], the courts have ruled that obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment and cannot be broadcast at any time.
