Hannity Hardly Hides His Conservative Agenda. Will FOX Concede Its Conservative Slant, Too?
BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Jeffrey Joseph
It appears one of FOX's primary commentators, occasionally confused for a news man on a "News" channel, has committed to calling his radio show Conservative Victory for 2010 Radio. His radio work may be separate from his TV appearances, but Sean Hannity's politics remain the same throughout, so is it only a matter of time before Murdoch finally admits the conservative bias in FOX News?
Probably not anytime soon. Murdoch feigns ignorance to any of the obvious attempts to further a conservative agenda on his network. In fact, he seems not to have any idea about anyone over there. For one, he refers to Sean Hannity as "an academic." Indeed, Sean Hannity does have an academic record that includes two different colleges. By Murdoch's logic, then, Sarah Palin qualifies as some kind of super academic given that she attended four different colleges in her lifetime. Palin, however, at least graduated from one of them. Hannity, heretofore, has yet to earn a degree from either of the institutions he attended.
Furthermore, Murdoch hardly knows what he believes himself, and his opinions may be too easily conflated with those of his employees. Murdoch recently become embroiled in a controversy by supporting Glenn Beck's claim that Obama made a racist comment. Murdoch may have done it on Australian TV, but such a strong accusation levied against an American president could hardly go unnoticed. Not long afterward, Murdoch sent forth spokesperson Gary Ginsberg to clean up the mess. Without firmly apologizing for the comment, Ginsberg simply suggested that Murdoch "does not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist." Ginsberg offered an obvious public comment one would expect from the man whose primary responsibility was to broker relations between News Corporation and prominent Democrats and, genuine or not, it was as close as Murdoch would come to a clarification.
Given that Ginsberg is soon departing from News Corp., though, does it seem like Murdoch has summarily given up on any attempt to make FOX News "balanced"? It's doubtful he will now since so many claim the fight with the White House has garnered FOX News a ratings boost, even though the validity of any such boost is dubious, at best. Instead, Murdoch will likely continue to rely on his reliable ratings machines like Sean Hannity and the suspiciously militaristic mottoes that grace his website such as "Forewarned is Forearmed." Together, Murdoch's friends at FOX can continue to push the Republican agenda as hard as they can in the hopes that more viewers will absorb their hardly hidden propaganda. In turn, reasonable people can hope that, in time, others simply turn the channel to some actual news.

Long ago Fox decided to be not credible
When you review all the Fox intentional lies,spliced footage, discredited guests to make a fake argument or point, you can only come to the conclusion that it was a deliberate decision to control any Americans gullible enough to believe it. Fortunately, more and more of their lies are coming out and perhaps they will become at least a bit more dismissive while at the same time the MSM will not copy and take Fox's information from this demonic organization without doing research.Let's face it, if it is Cheney's favorite organization, nothing more needs to be said.
