I do however think you owe Mac and Pat Marr an apology in an open forum.



I'm not looking for any apologies from anyone. Liberty means we ALL get to have our own opinions, and I think that's a good thing. ( But, on that same vein, I don't expect to apologize for MY opinion either.)

The issue of a government promoting one ideology and suppressing another is exactly the opposite of freedom, however. Suppression of ideology is the first step in a move toward totalitarianism. See, I AM teachable, because I learned that from history.

No matter which political point of view a person espouses, he/she should be concerned when any government starts to promote ITS OWN ideology rather than allowing the people to nurture what THEY want. And especially when it gets to the point that the media outlet with the point of view most unlike the government's is singled out for punitive action... whoah! Historically, that has been part of a bad trend.

FWIW, Fox isn't losing sponsorship because the PEOPLE are withdrawing from it... the government is actively blackballing them. Among the people, FOX is the most watched news, and that is significant.

And let me say at this point that I don't watch Fox at all ever. I'm no fan of Rupert Murdoch. But I don't like what's going on. THe government should NOT be actively undermining private media because they don't like the message. That's the whole reason for freedom of speech.
