FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda.
But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy. Here are some examples:
It seems that the media has had a frenzy over the latest Capitol Hill scandal. It seems that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being scrutinized for her role in the Bush Administration torture scandal.
The CIA claims that they briefed Pelosi and disclosed that “waterboarding” was used as an interrogation technique. Pelosi went on the defensive and claims that no such thing happened.
The media tends to hold a bias position when it comes to the demise of the contemporary newspaper concept. Understandably, it is in their interest to attempt to sway public opinion in order to empathize with an archaic means of distributing news.

The H-Town All-Stars who consist of Bun B, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Cory Mo and Trae have released a complimentary song that whole heartily endorses Barack Obama and urges the listener to vote for change on November 4th.
The song is well produced and intersperses spoken clips from presidential candidate Barack Obama between each lyricist verse. This is a rallying call for those undecided voters that need that extra push or incentive to vote … and vote for the right man for the job.
Bun B claims, “We don’t need a sequel of 4 more years … we need real ideas about the future, not war mongers.” He adds, “Republicans, you had your chance but you blew it. It’s time to turn Texas blue.” Bun B is critical of the Bush Administration and John McCain and details the policies which they have failed to address these past 8 years.
