Jon Stewart calls Fox News "extremists"

Yes, of course Jon Stewart is irreverent and a comedian. But look at the clips of people on Fox "News" here telling you Obama was wrong in the speech you (hopefully) just saw him give. (See my earlier posts.)

Analysis of President Obama's Cairo speech

Analysis of President Obama's speech in Cairo -- This helps put things into perspective, especially what President Obama's words mean to people around the world.

A New Beginning

President Obama gave a speech this week that has been widely hailed as inspiring and a major first step in bringing peace and prosperity to the Middle East and around the world. In it, he shows how peace is the purpose of all three great religions of the area -- Islam, Judaism, and Christianity -- and how respect for one another and really listening to each other's needs instead of breeding hate and fear is the way forward we must choose, no matter how difficult.

Sadly, some major news media and politicians have distorted the message or downplayed it.

I urge you hear and see the speech for yourself. I promise you it is inspiring. You must hear the entire speech for yourself --

• If you are serious about your faith
• If you are serious about your patriotism
• If you have any expectation of being perceived as an informed and intelligent individual
• If you care about helping promote peace and respectful relationships

Here is the definition of the word tyranny. A tyrant is a brutal dictator, such as Hitler or Stalin.

Now, a curious number of Fox News employees and their guests have been throwing around the word tyranny. With help from Jon Stewart, you be the judge of whether they are right. What exactly is going on here with this so-called "news" channel?

Has Fox News no sense of decency?

More hate and fear-mongering on Fox News -- http://mediamatters.org/countyfair/200904090036. Clearly, they have no shame.

On the other hand, if you are looking for real civil discourse and real fair and balanced journalism, here are two other sources:
