I have a negative knee jerk reaction to the hate-mongering on the FOX news channel. I can't figure out why anyone who professes to love themselves and all mankind can expose themselves to the vitriolic diatribes, hatred and violence that seems to prevail on FOX. Rupert Murdoch has stated publicly that he cares nothing for accuracy, honesty or good manners as long as what he prints (or broadcasts) sells. As for me, when I'm accidently trapped by the ubiquitous blonde bimbos or the likes of Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin, (in the airport or restaurants, for example) I come away feeling like I should take a shower. Why can't viewers of FOX realize they are being manipulated by powers that do not have our best interests at heart?

As for the Tea Partiers, have they done enough research to learn that we pay the same amount of taxes now that our grandparents paid when Harry Truman was in office? There is a much bigger game than tax reduction afoot, and the TPs are playing right into it.

GO JON STEWART! Make us laugh.
