Fox News - The Spinning Of A Story
From Chris Marks

Mr. Rense,
 
I am a daily visitor to your site and admire the work you and your colleagues do. After viewing a story on Fox News today about the Hampshire College war protest, I recalled the article posted on your site several days prior http://www.rense.com/general17/hampshirecollege.htm.
 
I went back and read the article and was amazed by the conflicting information in your article and the story on Fox. After giving the spokesperson of Hampshire Students for a Peaceful Response a 10 second sound byte, a Fox News reporter went on to mention how the group's reasons for protesting the war were "fuzzy" and unclear.
 
Meanwhile, your site provides its readers not only with a complete statement by the group, but several clear and convincing reasons why the "War on Terrorism" is a sham. The majority of the Fox news piece simply reinforced the alleged overwhelming support of the war by them American people.
 
The students of Hampshire College were portrayed as misguided, spoiled, liberal arts brats who were protesting for the sake of liberalism. Neil Cavuto ended the unilateral piece by suggesting that the students had not been subjected to the "real world". This blind patriotism and lack of journalistic integrity is sickening.
 
If the students of Hampshire College are in fact misguided, then who is to blame? Could it be the American media, which seems more concerned with pushing its own agenda than portraying the "real world"? Where are all the images innocent Afghani civilians being murdered? I can't blame these students for their "ignorance".
 
The audacity of these Newsmakers is shocking, especially Fox News and its outrageous holier-than-thou attitude. I'd email Fox News directly but I'm convinced it would either fall on deaf ears or wind up the subject of some "viewer response" segment where it would be sliced up and ridiculed. Our public airways have been stripped from us and tainted by puppets in suits. I find this entire situation to be completely disheartening.
 
Thank you for your time.
 
A loyal reader,
Chris Marks
