FOX news shit

Ok, busy posting day. There is a quote in a “USA Today editorial”:http://www.usatoday.com/life/columnist/mediamix/2003-09-14-media-mix_x.htm by a Fox News person that is upsetting, in response to this by a CNN reporter Amanpour:

I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I’m sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did.

So, here’s the response by Fox News spokeswoman Irena Briganti:

Given the choice, it’s better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda.

Blah, in the space of a few hours I feel beaten down again.
