Fox News has finally pissed me off for the last time. Do you know why the stock
market goes down? Because some Yay-hoo of a speculator who happens to have a
reputation decides to kill a certain stock by telling anyone who will listen to
him that it will go down. People get scared and sell their shares, and magically,
it goes down. Recently Fox News, the American Al Jazeera, is starting a rumor that
Obama's approval rating has dropped from 65 to 60 percent. Who participates in
these polls? I asked a room full of 30 people and NONE of them have ever
participated in a poll like that. None of them ever listen to Fox News or it's
affiliates. None of them participate in Fox News's polls at all or ever have. So,
who is participating in Fox News Polls? The same people who listen to Rush
Limbaugh and think he is fair and balanced? The same people who were conservative
in the first place. This is a swiftboat attack in a subtle nature. I don't know
anyone who cares about Polls, but I have a friend who when I spoke to her on the
phone, told me that Obama's approval rating has dropped to 55 percent. I pointed
out to her that what Fox News didn't tell her that is phenomenal for a president.
Bush's highest ratings were 48 percent when he sucked us into the Iraq war. He had
some of the highest approval ratings for a Republican president in decades at that
time. Of course it has only been a few decades that anyone took an approval poll.
Does anyone besides Fox News actually have an approval poll that anyone reads and
listens to except perhaps shut-ins that are left over from the days when a black
man had to walk in the gutter with his hand over his eyes so that he didn't look
at a white woman? I think it is time someone said something about these onesided
rumor mill fear agitators. Today I am giving Fox News an approval rating of minus
60 percent. They can take their whole fearmongering attitude and move away.
Recently the movie "Control Room" came out. The funny thing is when asked if they
were a propaganda force, they replied, "No, we are fair and balanced." Who does
that sound like. If they were fair and balanced they wouldn't have to announce it.
Just like Fox News, the Al Jazeera of America.
