teabag this!

So, Faux News continues to foment insurrection as they desperately try and regain the lost power of the Bush Years. So here's my thought: Fox is run by Rupert Murdoch, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Australia. It could be easily argued that the only reason that Murdoch bothered to get citizenship was because he otherwise would not be allowed to create a media network here in the U.S. However, since it seems his primary goal in setting up this network was power rather than public service, and his power now seems to be aimed at bringing down the duly elected president of the United States of America, one might be excused to wonder if this action is not, with all the overtones of violence and overthrow coming from his network, treasonable. Perhaps it's time to review Fox, and its agenda (and I think there's little doubt that there is one anymore), and more importantly, it's owner, Rupert Murdoch. Maybe, like any naturalized citizen who attempts to damage his adopted nation, his citizenship needs to be revoked, and in turn, his network either sold or, preferably, dismantled.

Don't be surprised if you get a visit from one of O'Reilly's "producers."

Will they try and recruit me to join a cell?

Most likely, they'll ram a mic in your face and ask you whether or not you "know" that your comments are "hurting America" and that "some people" find what you had to say was offensive.

And blah-blah-blah this was all grassroots not planned completely spontaneuouscakes.

All I can say is that it's my country to hurt, not some Aussie princeling come to America to establish his empire. Fuck him and the trust fund he started out on.
