"Fox News" is an oxymoron -- focus on "moron."

We had a slogan for them when I was in newspaper publishing --

"If it's not the Truth, it's the News."

Khanjar -- a lot of American media DOES promote the idea that we are terrified of ourselves, because that sells products. It's very sad. Despite whatever people think about Michael Moore, he had it right in "Bowling for Columbine" when he said fear-mongering is a lucrative business.


On the scarf -- correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the actual scarf in the ad more of a paisley or houndstooth print, rather than the checkered print typical of Palestinian scarves?
