"Noise Channels"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=1431
News channels? Noise channels, more like.
Cast your memory back, for a moment, to the Bush Years -- oh, sure you can, c'mon. Fox News was cheerleading for war and a burgeoning police state, calling dissenters "traitors", yelling for every dissident's and whistleblower's head on a plate, and spewing GOP talking points all over us. MSNBC, in the meantime, was hollering for an end to imperialist wars, the protection of civil liberties, and all that other speaking-truth-to-power horseshit.
Fast-forward to the Obama Years. Fox News is suddenly hollering about dissent and civil liberties and Obama's adventurism overseas. MSNBC, in the meantime, is cheerleading for war, softpedaling Obama's use of drones to murder civilians, calling dissenters "traitors", yelling for every dissident's and whistleblower's head on a plate, and spewing Democratic Party talking points all over us.
Anybody detecting a pattern here?
These three sticker designs depict the real reason for being of both of these hypocritical partisan "news" channels. The MSDNC logo may be something new to most of you, but why the Fox News parody logo, you might ask? Granted, everybody and their cat may have figured out that Fox News was a GOP mouthpiece from day one, but I thought it might be a good idea to include it, because Fair And Balanced.
