"Empty Barrel"

"Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap.Some of it borders on sedition.Much of it is flat untrue." This quote was made by Joe Klein of Time Magazine. Lets examine what this statement really says ; "hateful crap" , not exactly great prose but still descriptive , yet is it truth? I have been watching Fox News for a very long time , yet I cannot remember any commentary one could consider hateful , I've heard things that were convicting , things that could make people under scrutiny uncomfortable , but , no personal attacks about the subjects race , creed , or national origin. And for their reporting this as "crap" I have yet to see anyone in any branch of the media or the government providing any facts supporting the statement , that Fox reporting is anything but truthful. "Some of it borders on SEDITION." This is a very serious charge , the legal term of sedition is "overt conduct ..tending toward insurrection against an established legal order".This also may include open violence against the laws. In 1798 president John Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts that provided 2 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine , in 1798 a pretty good piece of change , some of it's wording is " opposing and resisting any laws of the United States...writing or publishing false statements ". For Mr. Klein to make such a heinous accusation is both untrue and libelous , not to mention irresponsible. Mr Klein is noted for his far left rantings so his venomous remarks are not beyond the realm of his repertoire , yet he fails to provide any facts to back up his spurious accusations. Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannitty have offered Mr. Klein air time to prove his case , he has yet to respond . Is it possible that Fox reporting is cutting a little too close to the bone and the left felt it was necessary to send out one of their attack dogs , even though he had no teeth to use in his attack ? Being in the public forum makes persons and organizations open for criticism , but it dose not give license to assassinate the character of those being criticized. My mother always said the loudest noise comes from the emptiest barrel , there is a lot of truth in that statement. When unfounded accusations are thrown about with wild abandon we must consider the source and the source's motives. I'm sure all of us will be waiting a very long time to hear a response to Fox from Mr.Klein . Why don't you try to put something in that empty barrel next time , otherwise you will appear the fool!
