THE REAL POLITIK EDITION: ISSUE 96, VOLUME 118

Fox News' obsession with Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has reached pornographic levels. ACORN is an umbrella of community based organizations that works with the poor--in housing, voter registration and employment. So, why does Fox News hate ACORN?
ACORN is responsible for voter registration, which mostly benefits the Democratic Party, so if they discredit and take down ACORN, they cripple voter registration efforts, and housing support for the poor. Every show, everyday since President Obama's inauguration, Fox News has gotten its rocks off, trying to bring down ACORN on flimsy voter registration charges, portraying ACORN as a systemic, corrupt organization.
It seemed they have hit pay dirt when some "independent filmmakers" dressed for Halloween as pimp and ho, went into several offices from Baltimore to New York in what seemed like entrapment. Here's CNN's reporting. Have a gander:
Now here is how Fox News covered the story. Have a gander:
For the past several weeks Fox News has saturated the public airwaves with ACORN corruption, demanding politicians to revoke any funds it gives to the organization. The Republican Party are going along for the ride as if they had nothing to do with their political hit job on the community organization, now calling for an independent prosecutor. Funny, they strongly oppose an independent prosecutor for Bush's war crimes, but are gun-ho for prosecuting a community-based organization.
THE RUB
Fox News creates its own reality, literally, and other corporate media networks usually follow along, using Fox's talking points in which to frame an issue. The danger to this democracy is the contempt Fox News shows toward democracy. Fox News has no regard for integrity, or truth. They are clearly, and symptomatically--make that pathologically driven to destroy the Democratic Party, labor unions, teacher unions, and what little political choice we have.
Where was Fox News six years ago when $9 BILLION dollars, simply disappeared? Corporate contractors with no-bid contracts were making money hand over fist. In my blog Who's Washing the Money? I stated, $11 billion in tax-dollars lost in 3 years in governmental no-bid contracts in New Orleans and Baghdad reconstruction. The loss is not stagnant, Bush is financing the Iraq Occupation and the conflict in Afghanistan through supplemental funding, and the money doesn’t count toward the country’s deficit, which is why it is supplemental and in the past, used sparingly.
Fox News didn't make a peep about it, other corporate news organizations mentioned it but didn't give the story adequate coverage. Maybe because Fox didn't make a big deal of it. Was it because the president was a Republican? Did Fox News organize viewers to march on the National Mall demanding their country back? What about their million dollar entertainers and news readers, did they raise hell about the deficit-spending then? I think the answer is clear.
Dateline, September 1, 2009. It is reported that security contractors in Afghanistan have hazing rituals at the very least boarding on homoerotic, where naked security contractors (all male) poured alcohol down one another backs and drinking the run off from one another asses. Here take a gander:
The ArmorGroup/Wackenhut government contractor is worth $180 million dollars. Where was Fox News' outrage?
It is clear Fox News' agenda is schilling for corporate interests. They can have one position one day, and turn on that same position when it is no longer useful. All of their employees get paid handsomely, which is why they lie with glee, and abandonment.
They are truly soulless in their quest to usher in their brand of fascism.
