It's a surprisingly good writeup, actually.

Why are you surprised that Fox did a writeup of 4chan? It's a huge and incredibly influential group on the Internet.

QuoteThe most powerful people on the Internet don't work for Microsoft, Google or the government. Rather, they're a bunch of antisocial, foul-mouthed, clever nerds who congregate at a largely unknown Web site called 4chan.org.

Let's see if MSNBC bitches about Obama now just as much as they did at Bush (http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/04/obama-doj-worse-than-bush).  I highly doubt it though, they rarely criticize Obama their savior.  Same with how Fox News rarely criticized their savior Bush.  They probably won't even mention it.

And Warrior, I've been trolling you on purpose from the start.  I just know how liberal you are, it's amusing to see you get all worked up.

Pelosi and Olbermann were on last night criticizing the President for FISA, the Patriot Actt argument, and Holder's continuation of such policies.
In the end Pelosi said she trusts Obama, but if he tries to overstep his bounds, Congress will strip away the argument he's using (Which expires from the Patriot Act at the end of this year, iiirc).

My point wasnt that Fox News is biased, but that it's dangerously biased in that it incites hatred and fear. That's a marked different from having a political slant.

Also, this topic was split down to the Politics board.

Edit: Link to Countdown, not the Pelosi clip, but close enough.
