A FINE MESS
Pushing the decency envelope isn’t cheap. Here are some of the biggest fines handed down by the FCC.
$1,183,000
FOX
Obscured nudity, spanking and a man licking whipped cream off a stripper’s breasts earned Married by America the FCC’s largest TV fine ever.
Isn’t it ironic that FOX can, on their network, dish out crap like this, while on their News
Channel they can sound all “moral” and “conservative”? I’m amazed that they can get away with this clear hypocrisy.Of course, maybe it’s just brilliant marketing. On the FOX network they are extremely “liberal” with their programming (trying to jack up the ratings) and thus causing an uproar among “conservatives” as they watch FOX NEWS rail on about the liberal media (again trying to jack up the ratings).
And since FOX NEWS reports what conservatives want to hear, they let the hypocrisy of what the Rupert Murdoch financial empire does off the hook.
Amazing.
Man, you must really hate those guys!
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I hate "those guys;" it's that I hate hypocricy.
ReplyDeleteMy goal in this post is not so much to nail FOX but to nail the evangelical Christians who are watching FOX NEWS without thinking through who FOX really is.
We Evangelical Christians have allowed our faith in Jesus to become a syncretistic religion--we have mixed Jesus with the Western ideals of capitalistic gain, materialism, free market enterprise, and wealth (a lot of the "Right" or "Conservative" political agenda) so much that we have become blind to such hypocricy.
Somebody needs to speak up about this. I'm sorry if my doing so offends you.
But wouldn't you rather that Christians think about how the media is playing us for fools and speak out accordingly?
