I have up till now considered Fox a bastion of American conservative ideology. Maybe I should rethink and consider Fox a bastion of whoever is paying them the most... |

I think they reported that one right after they talked about the Sun 'journalists' being arrested for allegedly bribing British police and public servants. |

Kashgari: MSNBC - 5 hits CBSNews - 4 hits ABCNews - 5 hits CNN - 1 hit The Beeb - 4 hits FT - 2 hits NYT - 10 hits WaPo - 6 hits WSJ - 4 hits FoxNews - no hits. I guess you don't get to decide. |

They're probably concerned about drumming up anti-Islamic bias and hatred among their viewers. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Very interesting. A search on 'apostasy' turns up a number of hits. All of them related to Iran. |

You should think of them as a reflecting, to a large extent anyway, the will of their most powerful shareholders. #1, Murdoch. #2, this Saudi prince. |

To be truthful Jon, I don't think of them at all. If I start reading an article and find myself with a "huh?" expression, I check the source. If it's Fox News, I just close the article and move along. I just can't bring myself to waste my time with them. |

Think this has any thing to do with the tons of racest crap sent to Fox? The memo goes on to suggest new and unusual ways to harass Fox News: “detailed opposition research” on the network’s staff and executives, attacks against Fox News employees on Facebook and other social media, mailing anti-Fox News literature to their homes and placing “yard signs and outdoor advertising in their neighborhoods.” |

I think you've got your Foxes crossed. That's the other thread. This is the one about Murdoch being up the arse of a Saudi Prince. |

In almost any culture, deviating from the accepted norm is risky. Islam has refined the art of conformism to a pinnacle of effectiveness. |
