It appears that their comments section is no more fair and\/or balanced than their so-called news. Despite the fact that their logo says “All Opinions Welcome,”<\/em> the truth is that only opinions that don’t challenge their readers’ sensitive preconceptions are permitted. When attempting to post comments there I am now being rejected with a message that says “Your comment must be approved by a moderator before appearing here.”<\/em> Then, of course, it never appears. And my comments are always civil and relevant to the topic.<\/p>\nFor instance, in an item about Bill O’Reilly’s appearance on The View, the Fox Nationalists noted with shock that Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the stage in response to O’Reilly’s bigoted assertion that “Muslims killed us”<\/em> on 9\/11. Here is my comment on this:<\/p>\n “How come no one on this site seems to have noticed that O’Reilly backed down and apologized for his outrageous bigotry?<\/p>\n He was wrong and even HE knew it. Yet most of the comments here are supporting the bigotry for which he apologized.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This doesn’t even seem to me like a particularly controversial remark. It simply states a fact that was being ignored by the Fox Nation community. Nevertheless, I made two additional attempts to express this opinion and all were rejected by the Fox Nationalist censors. Comments that were approved included references to the the show’s hosts as “bitches”<\/em> and to all Muslims as terrorists.<\/p>\n That should tell us something about Fox and their audience. They are clearly afraid of engaging in an open dialog. They have determined that their arguments are too weak to undergo debate and that their readers are too stupid to be allowed exposure to free thought. But when all you have on your side is disinformation and lies, I suppose it’s necessary to shield your feeble flock from frightening concepts like the truth.<\/p>\n This principle is in play throughout the Fox News empire. And it is why Fox News is so harmful to the state of discourse and to democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most fair observers already know that Fox Nation is a cesspool of right-wing propaganda and deliberately dishonest attacks on Democrats and progressives.
