Fox Nation Inflicts TheFoxNation.com Upon Us (Pt. 1)

Feed the masses conflict pie

America’s economy is in a difficult place. We all know that the underlying system is in need of repair, but how we get there is far from universally agreed upon. President Obama’s stimulus plans amount to a giant cash advance to scores of failing industries, but many pundits agree that the long-term costs of this cash outpouring will bury future generations in debt. Liberals and conservatives will have material for years to come… and now there’s another annoying voice ready to scream at you.

Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post reports that Fox Nation is going to swing its “fair and balanced” stick at the fat fastballs the government and its arch nemesis - LIBERALS! - offer up. However, thefoxnation.com has a gopher ball of a slogan:

“It’s Time to Say NO to Biased Media and Say YES to Fair Play and Free Speech.”

Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck aren’t biased, are they?

“We felt that giving people a real destination to go and express themselves would give them a feeling of belonging,” said Fox Senior Vice President Joel Cheatwood. “People feel they’re dictated to a lot by the media.” And Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck never dictate… right? Apparently you’ve never paid attention to your own network, Mr. Cheatwood.

Because they must have a purpose, FoxNation.com has conceived of Fox Nation as its outlet to aggressively attack the Obama administration. I question the public relations aspect of this strategy. Rupert Murdoch’s charges spent eight years worshiping the G. W. Bush White House, which would have sent most into an irreversible spiral of public shame. But not plucky Fox Nation! The foamy-mouthed trinity of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee are ready to decry government with one pinky and point the rest of their fingers at any group whose value base differs from their own.
