Quantcast

Why hasn't Fox News investigated or questioned the hundreds of millions of Federal dollars given to Blackwater?

Madelisa September 26, 2009 03:09:41
Fox News isn't in the business of reporting facts.
Fox News isn't in the business of exposing authenticated corruption.
Fox News does not employ legitimate journalists.
Fox News has the Murdoch mandated agenda of smearing President Obama, not George Bush or Dick Cheney.

They've devoted over 100 hours of air time to ACORN. Why nothing on Blackwater?

    The corruption of ACORN is more important than the false corruption of Blackwater. They (Blackwater, now known as Xe.) has been investigated, and no solid facts have been presented. However, there is PROOF of corruption with ACORN, and those that are defending them are not looking at the facts, they are looking to shift the blame to someone else that is opposed to their agenda.

    It seems that Fox is in a quandery because they're not met with open arms and total agreement with all of their opinions. Just think of when Sarah Palin takes her "throne." While it's true that the audience will probably increase, the quality of journalism will go down like a goldfish in a flush.

    Acorn, ONLY 100 Hours? Must be short on air time.
    Why has so much time and effort been spent trying to destroy Sarah Palin by the Liberaly biased Media that never bothered vetting 0bama?

    Your question is based on bogus information. President Obama has been thoroughly investigated by legitimate news sources. Now if you are talking about windbags that want to pretend our President is not a US citizen or doesn't have accessible college records then I suggest therapy.

    Show me proof that the main stream media
    1.Even mentioned obama's middle name prior to the election.
    2.Tony Rescoe affiliation.
    3.Studied Islam
    4.Was a citizen of Indonesia
    5.Would stand with the muslims, should the winds change.
    6. Wants a single payer system (eliminate private inse)
    I could go on and on but i am certain there are items you still are unaware of in this tiny fraction of the revelations the MSM failed to expose about this, the worst president in history. I am however confident that you will in the end understand the mistake you have made putting faith in catchy phrases like "Yes we can".

    Fox News is just another member of the corporate media monopoly that propagandizes the public. Folks who still believe that Fox News is any more bona fide than its colleagues are just content to turn on the TV and hear what they're being told. THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE NEWS SOURCE ON TELEVISION. ABSOLUTELY NONE.

    Rupert Murdoch doesn't give a damn about the US, just the same corporate global agenda as the GE folks at NBC and MSNBC, as well as CNN, formerly owned by globalist, Ted Turner.

    Anyone with half a brain and a heart knows that Blackwater is a criminal organization and a disgrace to this country. But, unfortunately, this public has shown, no matter which side of the political aisle one resides, it will rationalize conflicts of interest and corruption so long as their team, Democrat or Republican, "wins. Never mind that the public loses with both of those sellout parties.

    Xe (formerly Blackwater) has been thouroughly investigated, even by the main stream media outlets. If there were dreadful things that could even be made up to make them look bad, they would have been reported - much as Rather reported the falsified USAF documents - and expounded upon daily at least. The fact is that there is nothing untoward to report, and nothing even the hate-America-first crowd can invent that will stick. Cry in someone else's party, Madelisa ... there ain't no "there" there in yours.

    Blackwater, who has changed its name because of bad press, apparently filled
    in gaps in the military presence in Iraq, and were known as mercenary soldiers.
    As much as the Left has complained about the use of this paid personnel, 0bama
    has continued the practice. Use of mercenaries to bodyguard VIPs and do other
    jobs have filled in for the troop, who are spread so thin, they have had their tours
    extended and have returned for second and third tours of duty because there
    aren't enough troops in this all volunteer army to do all that is needed to be done.
    The solution to not using mercenaries would probably involve a draft.....instead
    of an all volunteer army. How many "fat cat Americans" would support that?

    In 1985 Murdoch became a United States citizen to satisfy current legislation that only United States citizens could own American television stations—and yet also managed to have himself defined as an Australian citizen to retain his ownership of Australian media outlets.

    It's plain to see It's always been about his agenda.

    Jesus of Nazareth descibed well those hypocrites who strain at gnats and swallow camels. The Blackwater scandal is way too big, costly and important for Fox to focus on. Wrapping their brains around smear tactics and latent racism is what sells to their constituency even though what happened in Iraq with Blackwater is of far more historical consequence.

    Funny, but more and more as I watch the antics of the Republicans and their mouth piece Fox I am reminded of quotes from Jesus. They criticize the speck in another person's eye while ignoring the log in their own eye. I could go on but everything Jesus said about hypocrisy and self righteousness fits perfectly.

    No. They have virtually ignored Blackwater and continue to do so. Why do you suppose that is? There isn't one respectable journalist working at Fox. There isn't one legitimate news agency that would hire any of them. Once you land at Fox your journalistic integrity has evaporated and your career is over.

    Let me rephrase that so you can understand,(I will even type slowly) They have not reported what YOU WANT TO HEAR. What YOU want to hear is more left wing drivel,more of how Bush did this or Cheney did that.You want to hear a news cast with a left wing slant.Your pissed off because your ACORN people got busted plain and simple.They got their funding pulled because they were giving out advise on how to run an underage brothel under the radar on tax payer money! YOUR MONEY,MY MONEY,EVERYBODIES MONEY!The funds Blackwater received weren't even close to what ACORN has gotten over the years and now their cut off too!See how simple that is.

    I know what you're saying. i just don't understand why you simply can't get it. You are completely wrong and I'm starting to believe that it's deliberate. Thank God people like you are not in charge. You'd give away the farm and think you got a great deal. ACORN has received slightly more than 50 million and done a lot of great work (probably for ethnicities that you rail against); Blackwater has received more than one billion and continually funded even after they were under investigation. See what happens when you tune to Fox? You lose track of what's real., ACORN has a few rotten apples. Blackwater is the poisoned tree. Fox has no real journalists on staff and the truth about Blackwater will take down a lot of high ranking Republicans. They don't want that. And you would stand idly by chewing on your own tongue and just let it continue. Go away. You're unwise.
