Why isn't this story on every single news show?!

[melcreada]

Okay, so let me get this straight: the group that is funding the Islamic mosque near ground zero is also one of the PRIMARY SHAREHOLDERS of Rupert Murdoch's news dynasty, AKA Fox News, AKA the network that has been up in arms about the whole mosque thing since the beginning?! Please tell me this is a joke...a horrible, disgusting joke. You are telling me that Fox News is financially supporting an action they supposedly deplore and using it as a scare tactic to rouse the uninformed into a hysterical tizzy?

I feel like vomiting. This is their opinion of America: we are a bunch of dumb fucks who will believe whatever is on the TV. Seriously.

Well, it's not Fox that's funding it, but one of their part-owners is Muslim. Like, a really rich Saudi, I believe. So yeah. He's helping to fund the mosque. And Fox hopes no one realizes that he also funds them. XD

Frankly, this is why I follow news on the fake news shows. Because they can make me laugh about something that might normally give me an aneurysm.

If you haven't seen Colbert's and Stewart's coverage of the topic, I recommend checking it out. They're funny. *hugs*

I know, thank goodness for John Stewart!!! I am just flabbergasted...and living in a deeply conservative state just adds to my fury. I am surrounded by Republicans and not just any old Repubs, but fervent Tea Party types. *vomit*

Yeah, I remember that feeling. :\

My mother honestly does not understand why I need to live in California.
