Robert F. Kennedy Jr says Fox News is dividing the country

"FOX NEWS" or as they say "FIXED NEWS" is now 50% owned and operated by the Saudi Royal family. Rubert Murdock, the douchbag that hacked all those cell phones in England needed the money to pay off all his fines. So, you have a "news" organization that is owned and operated by billionaires. In what stretch of your imagination can you conceive of the news being slanted other than toward the very wealthy.

all these nazi/fascist party of NO(repugs) just shows how ignorant and uneducated they really are. After all the division of America began with Bush and his administration with the hopes of creating a new Germany Hitler rules nation. it's what they have been planning since 1930"s. Look at the laws they are passing or trying to pass it follows the exact action Hitler used in Germany.

wonder what his uncle JfK would think, his motto was What you can do for your country, not what your country could do for you, yes he was a democrat, byt would roll over in his seeing what his party is like today.

It is Obama dividing the country,

Castigating Kennedy here is a side show by the spiteful.If they cannot make a valid argument on the content of his piece they should leave their keyboards alone. Eiriamach and Ephraim have made a fair and balanced case and that is more than one receives from Fox and more than can be said of they fox marionettes below.

Wonder how his brother Douglas feels about this....Douglas works for Fox News!

The issue isn't news broadcasts from the right vs news broadcasts from the left. As Kennedy says in the interview clip, polarization is the result, not the cause, of the deadlock we have now in Washington DC. And the deeper problem is the MISinformation coming from the right and presented as fact-based "news." When "95% of talk radio in our country is right wing," and many, according to Pew surveys, say that their primary "news" source is FOX, we cannot safeguard our democracy because, as EphraimKibbey says, it "depends on an "EDUCATED" electorate" or at least an informed electorate. MSNBC may be just as political, but it does not present MISinformation as news. Wat the MSNBC folks label "facts" check out against other news sources and congressional records. Do the fact checking, and you'll see how much DISinformation and MISinformation FOX puts out every day. I don't expect FOX to change, but I do expect schools of journalism to be training their graduates in cross-checking the information they publish and in courageously holding the disinformation specialists to account publicly for the harm they do.

Finally, the answer to the question, what's the sound of one hand clapping? Answer: a Kennedy looking for moral high ground.How Quixotic! Kennedy's Fourth Estate has become the Fifth Column of the Left. Maybe it daned on RFK one day after visiting his late wife's grave, wherever he has moved her to now. Arrogance is a defined strand in the Kennedy DNA.

Yeah that's right Kennedy, wouldn't it be so much nicer if the left wing intelligentsia had a monopoly on the media? Let all media outlets mimic CNN, no? Can't stand these people.

Cricitism just because Fox is not part of the Obama propaganda machine? The left has grown uber sensitive. Anyone who disagrees gets labeled a 'hater' and you claim Fox is divisive?

Sorry, that was "RON" not Rand's attempt to Hijack the convention.

@patrickesq - you explained the situation perfectly! We definitely NEED voices on both sides of all arguments in America but, when the MAIN voice on one side just makes up stuff to make its audience feel entertained, there is no room for discussion. All the other side can do is laugh. Our local Broadcast Fox News affiliate in Cincinnati did a wonderful job of covering the election in a factual, journalistic way. Their "Reality Check" segments covered the Rand Paul attempt to hijack the RNC convention when no one else was even mentioning it except for a couple of references on the Maddow show. Cable Fox, by contrast, kept denying reality and inventing an alternative universe in which their candidate was winning, the polls and labor statistics were manufactured and the opposition was doing all kinds of treasonous, clandestine tricks in order to win. This "malarky" obviously did nothing to change reality and only served to make Ryan/Romney's loss a shock to their viewers. Our democracy depends on an "EDUCATED" electorate. If half of the nation is voting based upon stuff that Fox and Friends just invented, we are in BIG trouble. I think that Cable Fox viewers are strong enough to handle the truth and would be far better served by the station if it kept them based in reality while it presented the points of view of leading figures on the right about that reality. An essential service they could provide would be fact checking the crazy voices on the right like Akin who spout stuff that makes all those on the right look like a bunch of uneducated idiots. Maybe we need to encourage Fox to stand up and be the Grown Up on the right. Hopefully they will rise to the occasion.

RF Kennedy is liberal arse, & WE the PEOPLE are sick of them!

I suppose Bobby got this thought from the New York Times or MSNBC or PBS.

This MUST have been a "slow news day" for this to see print beyond the broadcast itself. The observation that FOX "News" isn't news and is divisive is about as newsworthy as the sun rising in the East, but unless people actually file written complaints with the FCC (the agency which oversees license renewals and maintains files of such complaints), NO one will bring pressure for accuracy in this branch of the media. Right wingers are constantly bringing complaints about ACCURATE, useful programming in the media - perhaps it is long overdue for mainstream Americans to do something practical about the hate speech, distortions and lies flowing out of the likes of FOX, O'Reilly and lesser sick comedians of the Right. THAT might be newsworthy. As a practical matter, it will take a moderately conservative administration to act on such complaints - the way it took a Nixon to open trade with mainland China, political cowardice being what it is - but you have to start somewhere.
