Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 18, 2013
Transcript:
Roz: Hey, Mel, who was that dude you were talking to? Mel: Fox reporter. He wanted to confirm that the war is going great. Roz: Oh, yeah? Good to know. Mel: More evidence that watching Fox really does make you stupider. It's like getting your news from the town drunk. Television: Obama: Soft on Terror? You decide! Roland: Anyone here disagree? No?

No, it’s more like getting your opinions from Doonesbury.

I thought it was more like getting your ‘news’ from people who are paid a lot to lie.

None of the US news outlets are fair and unbiased. Nor they show complete news coverage, concentrating on popular stories instead (tired of Zimmerman yet?).
How many of you knew a Cuban ship carrying missile parts to N Korea was stopped in the Panama Canal yesterday?
Watch the BBC for real coverage.

I heard quite a bit about it on NPR..(When I saw the strip, I said "Troll heads are going to explode over this one.They’re so protective of the outlet that verifies what they always thought.)

Trudeau will be back and be with us a long time I am sure. Anyone else see the Mort Walker/Beetle Bailey strip about PTSD in June? MW is still going at age 89.

No, watch CNN International to see what the rest of the world thinks. Unfortunately, the great majority of U. S. citizens could care less as they believe the Earth revolves around them.

Everyone who agrees with me is fair and balanced. Everyone else is a poopy-head. All agreed?

It’s one thing to put a slant on things, but 180 degrees leads you to falling off…

I only watch the BBC for real WORLD news…

This is obviously how liberals figure things out. Then they think Fox is no good. Fools never know they’re fools.
Ray Thomas over 11 years ago
You Fox haters might WATCH Fox now and then and find out what’s REALLY going on, not just what liberals tell you.

Like watching MSNBC doesn’t do more damage than that. Go see Russell Brand on MSNBC, sad to see three idiots act like heroin addicts while Brand does more news in 20 seconds than MSNBC does all day.

Joe Scarbrough is an idiot?.I know, I know, he’s a RINO and therefore unreliable. Still, I’d like to watch Faux’ three-hour show headed by a liberal but haven’t been able to find it yet.

Panel 3. I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Are you kidding? I’m subjected to that garbage at every restaurant/public place I frequent. You can’t go anywhere without a tv in your face anymore, and more often than not, they have it on Fox. I get more than enough of it to know that it’s garbage. (Also, there’s this thing called Teh Internet. It keeps records of all the stupid stuff Fox commentators have ever said. Handy.)

Faux News — Foul and Biased.

NPR listeners are pretty well informed.

It’s a cartoon! I read the ‘toons cause they’re entertaining. I then skim through some of the comments to see what kind of fools some people make of themselves who use this stuff by which to base their views and opinions of reality.
Argy.Bargy2 over 11 years ago
Why do they keep repeating old strips – how many vacations can one cartoonist take? Maybe just put the strip on hiatus.

The sad thing is that Trudeau writes a political column, but he has no understanding of what leads to prosperity and freedom and what leads to poverty and lack of freedom. If he understood the truth, he wouldn’t write this baloney.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
That’s right, if only he understood that the only thing that leads to freedom and prosperity is tax cuts for billionaires. I always say that if rmoney had been elected, we would have a balanced budget and full employment by now, as well as there being world peace. What an opportunity we missed!

GREAT JOB YOU ALL. IT’S GOOD TO SEE THE DIALOG WITH BOTH SIDES REPRESENTED. IT WAS BEGINNING TO SEEM THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT READ THIS STRIP WERE ULTRA LEFT WING LIBERALS. GOOD COMMENTS FROM BOTH SIDES. LONG LIVE THE 1ST AMMENDMENT.

I just ignore them. Hopefully, they’ll go away.

Typical liberal B.S. I’ll bet that most people who criticized Fox News or conservatives don’t even watch or read them. It’s so much easier to be arrogant, condescending, narcissistic and sanctimonious than to actually do so. You might then have to question your beliefs and prejudices.
As for the rich bashers: Just where do you think jobs come from? The Jobs Fairy?
SClark55 Premium Member over 11 years ago
Nobody I’ve seen who criticizes FNC watches it.
Newshound41 over 11 years ago
@rushman3X@sclark55I have Fox bookmarked on my smartphone. I also follow The Blaze, WND, and Newsmax. I am not the only one; here is a fun site:-http://foxnewscomments.com/-

gilmccarthy over 11 years ago
A good friend watches Fox all the time and reads nut-case magazines. He truly believes that the young man killed by Zimmerman was 24 years old and built like a tank. “They used Trevor’s middle school photo” Really. He believes this.
