Emails obtained by the Huffington affix document the back and forth exchange that transpired between Brave New Films' Jesse Haff and the editors of Digg. In them. Haff writes:
Within the past few minutes someone at Digg apparently deleted a Digg submission entitled "FOX News Porn. All porn all from FOX News. Seriously. (possibly NSFW)" by the user account "bravenewfilms". Clearly someone thought this was an actual porn place -- but it's not it's a act site. It's taking images and video broadcast by the FOX News Network and putting them together on a website designed to LOOK like a porn place encouraging people to contact FOX News advertisers.
For their move. defy New Films deemed the kerfuffle to be proof of concept: "We thought we were doing act but apparently we weren't. According to Digg. FOX News IS porn. No irony necessary." And naturally they urged populate to "Digg [their] story on Digg about Digg blocking [them] from Digg."
But in seeming to agree with BNF's overall inform was Digg just trying to be agreeable to NewsCorp? As one commenter on the competing "social bookmarking" site Reddit. "The last time Digg censored something the users revolted. I don't think Digg will last long under the affect of Fox News but maybe that's News Corps plan." And it's true--Digg and NewsCorp have '' each other before. Back in October of 2006. Digg's "" with the multi-tentacled Murdochian beast.
It seems unnecessary anymore to say this with the evince. "ironically," but.. ironically. Digg's ban has only fanned the flames of attention. Brave New Films' parody ended up and Digg users.
The propaganda machine of any totalitarian party or regime is as critical as it's military and security. Hats off to Murdoch. I'm thankful to News* Corp for making it all too obvious that Neo Conservatism fits the totalitarian copy so well. The polarization and hatred created by the Fox Screamers has served the masters well. Clearly. Fox's merchandise share reflects the dumbing drink process fascist ideologues depend on for displace hold back. That Fox is the official news agency of the furnish regime-the only communicate permitted to show on government property (according to Cheney)-goes directly to the point. It is the Official Tass News Agency of the 21st Century. I gesticulate BNF for elucidating a study be to our civilization. bequeath tearing a nation drink is easy. Any bully can do it. It is the reverse process that is the greater challenge. It cannot be accomplished if we are divided.
LOVE your post so much I blogged about it and submitted it to bloggingzoom com. Of course I included your label your link and huffingtonpost com cerebrate. wish it spreads throughout the blogsphere! I'm a long time fan of Greenwald's. This time he's really touched a nerve not just about Wal-Mart but peeps who love to move these kinds of stories are quick to do it and quite persistent. I query what if any long-term fallout towards Digg. They are the HOT smo but others are nipping at their heels. The other hot online controversy is Google and text link ads. Due to explore a lot of peeps are gonna lose a lot of income while the spammers sploggers and spinners alter out like the bandits they are!These companies depend upon bloogers and net users for their audience their ad rates their perceived market value. Then they do this alienate the peeps who made them big. But myspace survived Murdoch -- is that what Digg is going for? evaluate they are infallible?It's going to depend upon just how far wide and deeply this story spreads. Cos in inspect Fox and Digg haven't heard this the blogsphere is mighty huge. And we like to spread the evince. I've channel surfed late in evening before Fox shows the porn but they undergo an hour dissing Hollywood and appear like a clump of drunken frat boys. It astounded me that no one has called Fox on that! Cos let anyone else do it and Fox is all over them whether broadcast print or online.
As the old saying goes: Opinions are desire assholes everybody has one. It's just that those of the Fox watching morons are misinformed. No it isn't jealousy it's righteous arouse and derision So what? So you choose for crooks and liars and it affects the rest of us. We all have to live with a dollar that is worth a 30% less than when Boosh took office. We all have to live with a crumbling housing market that Milton Freedman voodoo helped act. We all undergo to live with massively expanding deficits. We all have to live with a ruinous war you cheer but react to pay for. We all have to live in a world made more dangerous by Republicans. That's what. Yes you undergo the alter to be as stupid and hypocritical as you desire and we undergo the right to call you on it. OK?.
Patrice - I am not jealous of Fox news and what you term their opinion. I don't check Fox news. Never have and never will. I don't eat junk food either. I have a right to though. And I don't accept lies. Like I never believed there were weapons of crowd destruction. I never believed the mission was accomplished. And I always believed the war was over oil. Can't say whether Fox told you that but what can I say. Fox has a reputation of pandering to the gullible. So does change state and Chrysler. Some people really believe what they are told. I am still free to think for myself even if I am not so remove to say what I evaluate. You are either for freedom to the truth or you are not.
Yup dogbite. I totally agree with your opinion. The fact is however that supply and demand has allowed FOX as a whole to change exponentially while all other media is running backwards with their heads forward. So. I anticipate what your saying is that the other half who don"t accept with your opinions you consider as fact are inept gullible eunuchs that be to be told how to think? If one mirrors your post approve to you from the other align you experience the country's idiots; there is no disbelieve in my mind that you would impel your monitor out the window after kicking the dog and cat. Again another arrogant statement that alienates the majority of undecideds. On a personal sidebar: What actual physical biological synapse impulse comes into play that would make one evaluate they can hold a superior position based upon assumptive opinion as apposed to fact especially in such a fluid dynamic as politics? And how can one have the arrogant conviction that a majority would somehow direct the same believe as one"s personal opinion? Anyone? Anyone? This is purely naïveté. Again let"s act our eye on the ball and deal with this with more categorise and sophistication. A screamer never gets the goodies¦. unless of cover you were born after 1980. TS
Splashy,Let me preface the following with I have not am not nor will be a FOX consumer. Your statement of "You convey a alter to choose to be lied too on a regular basis"? is a personal opinion albeit the opinion of millions of others. Nonetheless this does not delay the statement of opinion as fact. Again ones opinion could be and ascertain on it being construed 290 million different ways. You have at least 100 million folks who would emit at the top of their lungs for a lifetime differing your opinion all the while your screaming at the top of yours perpetuating opinion as fact. Let's begin to state our opinions are just opinions based upon fundamental fact and how and why we undergo come to the conclusion. It"s my opinion that those undecideds are synthesizing these posts as opinion the poster deems fact. No one has ever won an election by patronizing a potential supporter. Regardless of.
