Last night, I couldn't help but watch a program on Faux News Channel titled "Hating America". The show's premise was simple: that the Arab television world shows a one-sided view with regards to the war and their views on America and her policies. Lest we should think the Middle East is the only place where anti-American attitudes are expressed: on "Hating America", they showed examples of such in France, Germany and England. Leave it to John Gibson of Faux News Channel to present himself in a biased manner, with virtually no objectivity whatsoever. It was apparent by the look on his face that any act of anti-Americanism should be made punishable by law. Of course, he was so busy complaining about the lack of "fair and balanced" journalism on the Arab and European side that any kind of bias on the American side was non-existent. He even engaged in an interview with the French writer of a 911 conspiracy book, if you could call it an interview. Gibson lacked any kind of maturity when conversing with him. All that you could see was plenty of hysteria coming from Gibson. Lastly, the graphical images they used for the intro to "Hating America" was that of Adolf Hitler. I would've hoped they would have at least snuck in a picture of Joseph Stalin or Ariel Sharon, but that doesn't make Faux News' kosher requirements. All in all, it wasn't much of an insightful show, but of course, a conservative fool would watch it minute-by-minute.
