Please peruse the screenshot I captured of the current face of the FOX 'News' website.
'The Town That Won't Die' - captioning an Iwo Jima/Sept.11-esque flagraising event. This story must mark one of the proudest moments in US history, judging by the picture...
'FBI Smashes Jihad Plot to Kill GIs In Name of Allah' - a story which, going on the title, must mean that the US is ***oh my gosh run for the hills*** under constant daily threat from attacks by those darned muslims.... (I wonder why they wanted to attack soldier and not civilians? And what kind of ignoramus asks some bloke to burn people in islamic garb firing rifles in the air onto DVD??????????)
'Court Weighs Koran v Bible' - a story which, going on the title, MUST mean that muslims are taking over and destroying America and it won't be long before you won't be able to drive to the shops with all them mosques in the way!!!
This channel runs off the basest and most primal drivers unconsciously beavering away in every human mind: fear and tribalism. It's pathetic, in fact it's worse than pathetic. Any person living under a rock for the last ten years reading this tripe would imagine that muslims brandishing explosives, mortars and RPGs were swarming onto Delaware Beach on D-Day style landing crafts to meet their brethren in 'New Mecca' on the River Hudson!!! I've been to America many times and spent 4 months there once in one stint. Did I spot any muslims? Not really, none that particularly stood out. How can FOX be portraying an America on the verge of becoming the next Islamic Caliphate ffs. It really is ridiculous beyond words.
The bulk of the main page is basically inciting hatred against Muslims in general. Click on my screenie and it will take you to a story that is about whether the bible should be the sole item upon which you can swear an oath. It so happens that it was brought up by a muslim yes but read on. SETH COHEN (Jewish name) from the ACLU happens to be her spokesperson:
And there's a little paragraph tucked away right down at the bottom:"This is an important issue that affects thousands of people of faith across North Carolina who are not of the Christian faith."
It seems to me that it ain't exactly the jihadist muslim crusade FOX makes it out to be on the main page after all!!! As an atheist myself I would find it degrading to have my principles sidelined in a courtroom by carrying out some meaningless gesture on a book that means nothing to me.Several Jewish members of the state chapter of the ACLU have filed affidavits indicating they would prefer to swear upon the Old Testament, one of the religious texts of their faith, according to court documents.
You see what FOX are doing here don't you? Koran v Bible. Us v Them. Holy War. The 6 supposed 'Jihadists' intending to carry out their task 'In the name of Allah' - Allah isn't the fucking problem - their mentality is!!!! By implicating Allah in the whole 'mission' they are subliminally implicating all of islam. They are evil divisive cunts and they should be strung up by a regulator. Goebbels would be smiling with glee at their efforts in perfecting his art.
The flagraising picture is typically nationalistic subliminally recalling 9/11 and Iwo Jima on a page cluttered with stories about muslims that have been blown out of ALL proportion. It is designed to stir up that base emotion of tribalism and 'kill the enemy', when taken in context with the main stories on the front page.
They're no better than the Hamas Mickey Mouse children's 'Hate Israel' programs..
FOX News - GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU WORTHLESS SHITSTAIN OF A HATEMACHINE
