#1 - Glenn Beck is no longer with Fox News so how could he be their "flagship"? #2 If Ron Paul were ahead in the polls, they would be talking about his lead, his tour and so forth. He isn't ahead and he views on National Security are sketchy at best. Just because you are a staunch member of his cult does not mean everyone is.
Again, you let your mouth overrun your a##. |

I found a reference to this set of principles below on Jerry Pournelle's Blog. The speech these principles come from is by Lawrence Reed and can be found HERE. Of course, all these principles are in direct contradiction to what the MAG (Media, Academia, Government) stands for. My comments are italicized.
“Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy”
1) Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free.
The MAG believes that freedom and equality are the same thing, and believe in severely limiting the first and establishing the latter by Government fiat. And their idea of equality is an equality of outcomes, certainly not equal rights or equal opportunities. 2) What belongs to you, you tend to take care of; what belongs to no one or everyone tends to fall into disrepair.
The MAG believes the opposite — that human nature can be changed by education and legislation so that people will learn to work as hard for the benefit of strangers — even illegal aliens — as they do for themselves and their families. 3) Sound policy requires that we consider long-run effects and all people, not simply short-run effects and a few people.
Au contraire. The MAG looks only as far as the next election, and will gladly sacrifice the future for buying votes today. 4) If you encourage something, you get more of it; if you discourage something, you get less of it.
As Milton Friedman said, if you pay people to be poor, they'll happily be poor. Most all our public policy pretends that the opposite of this principle is the case. That if you reward people for being irresponsible it will somehow encourage them to become responsible, and that if you punish people for working hard by taxing them more, they'll continue to work just as hard. Madness. 5) Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.
The MAG feels that the Government will spend your money much more wisely than you ever possibly could, so you should gratefully hand it over to them. 6) Government has nothing to give anybody except what it first takes from somebody, and a government that’s big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you’ve got.
The MAG knows this is true, but likes to have everyone believe the opposite. That the Government has a big money bin like Uncle Scrooge's, and all that is necessary for prosperity is that wise liberals and neocons distribute it properly. See #5 7) Liberty makes all the difference in the world.
To the MAG, liberty is an annoyance, like the Constitution. It just makes people unruly and disobedient. The only liberty the MAG approves is criminality, which makes people want a stronger Government to protect them from criminals, and self-destructive behavior, which makes people weaker and more in need of Government to take care of them. |

Again, you let your mouth overrun your a##. Yeah love how the bully team won't watch or read the material but will comment on it! The quote for which I replied too-(Please give some examples of Fox's systematic "unfairness" and "imbalance".). do not see a time frame that I'm restricted too nor the exclusion of past employees, so what's your point with the topic at hand!
