Angelina Jolie blocks Fox News.

Angelina Jolie blocks Fox News.
Fox News reports, fair and balanced:
Angelina Jolie’s true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews. [...]
Jolie told Paramount Pictures publicists to ban FOX News Channel and all FOX News affiliates from covering the “Mighty Heart” premiere on the red carpet. It was only with the intervention of mortified Paramount staff that an FNC camera crew was allowed to be present.
Apparently, no one told Jolie of the highly positive review FOX News had given “A Mighty Heart” from Cannes.

Angelina Jolie’s true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews.
Wow, sounds like that was written by a Regency grad, or maybe someone from another American madrassa.
Jolie isn’t the government, so take your phony rhetoric about “freedom of the press” and blow it out your waxy kiester.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:40 am.
Jolie knows that FOX network is a phony operation that spreads propaganda for the Bush Regime. Bravo to Angelina.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:41 amWonder if this has anything to do with her father appearing on Fox Snooze.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:42 amHurray for Angelina Jolie! When FauxNews “reporters” start acting like actual journalists, even mediocre MSM journalists, they can be treated like “the press.” Until then, they should be treated like the propagandists they are.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:43 amAre we caring about what the “stars” do?
I don’t care.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:43 amTP, stop with the Hollywood stuff already. Please.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:44 amMore people need to point their finger at the Great ReichWingNut Propaganda Machine, boycott those who advertise there, and work to make them completely irrelevant.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:46 amwhy would she care about a fox review being positive or negative, and why would the author of this story use that as some type of qualifier?
don’t turn this into a tattler rag please.
the author acts as if fox is legitimate and that it is somehow an affront to them to be ignored.
you are losing me if you print gossip by and for simpletons
June 14th, 2007 at 11:46 amAnyone else notice the amazing lack of trolls thus far today? (knock on wood)
June 14th, 2007 at 11:47 amJolie is not a normal air-headed Hollywood actress. She has a brain and tries to help the poor all over the world. I have more respect for Angelina than most in our Congress.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:47 amAre we caring about what the “stars†do?
I don’t care.
Comment by Zooey
That’s because you live in Idaho and the only stars you see are overhead at night.
Seriously, though, the film is about the death of Daniel Pearl and appears to be good work. I think that notice of anyone standing up to the propagandists is worth at least a mention.

Now you’ve done it!
June 14th, 2007 at 11:49 ambill oreilly has been desperate to get her on the show and has attacked her humanitarian efforts repeatedly, including injecting himself into her personal drama with her father.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:50 amAre we caring about what Fox “news” is squawking about?
Nah.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:51 amThey told Angelina about the positive review. She just doesn’t appreciate fascist propaganda.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:53 am“Apparently, no one told Jolie of the highly positive review FOX News had given “A Mighty Heart†from Cannes.”
I think she deserves a little more appreciation than we’re showing Jolie. Apparently she couldn’t be bought by a “good review” and feels the same way about Fox News that we do. Of course if Fox hadn’t brought up the fact that she shunned them nobody would have noticed. So in their attempt to smear her they have shown their own inadequacies. High profile people shunning them, along with no Democrat debates, might be the start of people questioning the integrity of Fox Snooze. Well we can hope anyway.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:53 amThanks for the update, Entertainment Progress

When this happens they all show up at one time with long sheets of “cut and paste” talking points. Valiant Venus will show up to start the ball rolling any time now.

I’ll make sure I go see the movie, it’s probably very good.
Still don’t care about the “stars.” :-)
June 14th, 2007 at 11:55 am“Anyone else notice the amazing lack of trolls thus far today? (knock on wood)”
I’ve had to cut them back to a 3 day work week, on account of having to hire extra defense lawyers.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:55 amAlso several have now taken full time blogger positions with Republican election campaigns.
Who is the Angelina Jolie chick?
June 14th, 2007 at 11:56 amIs she in jail, again?
Is she on a downward spiral towards rehab?
Did she die of an apparent drug overdose, thus promising a nasty custody battle of her infant daughter?
If the answer is no, then why would I (Fox’s viewer base) care?
Unreal. We agree.
Comment by Kevin — June 14, 2007 @ 11:48 am
Better mark that on your calendar, Kevin, cuz it ain’t happening again! :D
June 14th, 2007 at 11:56 amAfter January, 2009, FOX News can content itself with press-releases from a Democratic administration, just like all the other tabloids.

Wow gummitch, that is cold! People in Idaho have feelings too. All 37 of them are going to send you a really nasty letter now.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:57 amShe’s not just “a star.” She has also been a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and very active in refugee politics.
And anytime a high profile person like that takes on FOX News, they should be commended.

No wyou’ve gone and summoned them, CB, I hope you’re happy.
Damn, I just got the last bits of troll out of my teeth…..
June 14th, 2007 at 11:58 amShe is also a Humanitarian – probably far more than an actress – with publicity. Any good she can do with that publicity, as George Clooney previously pointed out when exposing atrocities in The Sudan, deserves to be recognized.
Plus, the cons are into authority figures… If they learn that one more giant of the screen opposes tehir ‘news’ source, it might make one or two of them implode… :D
June 14th, 2007 at 12:01 pmFox has a news channel? Well that’s news to me…can’t get it on my TV, oh, that’s right, I have it blocked.
Laura Croft totally rocks even more now.
IGNORE THE TROLLS – Debate good, Trolls bad

Just like a liberal.

“Bans” Fox or “shuns” Fox. So now citizens aren’t supposed to display their sentiments even if they’re willing to take the heat for those feelings?
June 14th, 2007 at 12:10 pmZooey,
You were right. They are here now. My apologies!!!!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:13 pm“Jolie makes a movie about “freedom of the press†and than bans Fox.
Just like a liberal.”
How’s that? LOL! Care to provide some evidence? Oh that’s right you people don’t exactly dig evidence do ya?
Here’s some “news” for you and Fox – Fox has lost the battle over whether it’s objective and is now losing the battle over whether it’s even news at all. It isn’t. It’s corporate right-wing propaganda as far as we’re concerned and WE are the ones who have been right about things for the last 7 years.

June 14th, 2007 at 12:14 pmJolie is a liberal and she tried to ban Fox News
June 14th, 2007 at 12:15 pmYes I know I posted it twice. It was mere accident but it works because you on the right don’t seem to grasp anything unless it’s repeated over and over and over and over and over and over….
June 14th, 2007 at 12:16 pmAngelina evidently can differentiate between a journalist and a hack.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:17 pmI think this is great. The more people that publicly shun the shameful news agency, the more incentive they will have to either change their ways or risk becoming increasingly irrelevant in the public sphere of opinion.
Even 28%’s may start questioning their distasteful product.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:17 pmYou can’t make a movie about “freedom of the press†and than ban a member of the press.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:17 pmCould Angelina be trying to drive a wedge between Fox and Fox News? If Fox starts losing access to Hollywood stars who deplore the politics of Fox News, would the company feel pressure to reign in the news channel? Or is that wishful thinking?
June 14th, 2007 at 12:18 pmI was asking for evidence of how it’s “just like a liberal”. You basically proved my point by ignoring my asking you to back up your generalization with some proof. Not like WMD-style proof, but ACTUAL proof.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:18 pmI don’t call Fox News “the press” as in “freedom of the press”, do you? They’re a bunch of clowns posing as serious reporters for goodness sakes. Anyone with a brain realizes that.
However, I do applaud Jolie for making the point that Fox news is the “most biased, unfair, and imbalanced” MSN program on the aid right now and she has a right to her own preferences for the publicity of her movie.
Besides, we all know that our rights and freedoms mean nothing these days anyway….so why all the bother about “freedom of the press” I’m wondering…..what a joke that is!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:19 pm#40 In Bush’s world you do precisely that! What you say and what you do are polar extremes. I don’t see your point, dude. Team Bush has become expert in doing precisely that for 6 very long years. Your comment is a non-issue.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:21 pmYou can’t make a movie about “freedom of the press†and than ban a member of the press.
Comment by Chris — June 14, 2007 @ 12:17 pm
Sooo… banning access is antithetical to freedom of the press? Where the cluck have you been the last 7 years?
June 14th, 2007 at 12:21 pm“Angelina Jolie’s true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews.”
Who’s the clueless nitwit who penned this? Freedom of Press is the relationship that the press has with the government. It’s not the relationship that the press has with Jolie. Banning comments on this site is up to the discretion of the site owners, and it is not a violation of Freedom of Speech. Really, get a frickin’ clue before you post such idiotic things. Idiot.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:22 pmliberals are all for free speech unless you say something they don’t agree with than they want to shut you up or shut you out.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:22 pmHey Chris: By traditional definition, the entire Bush Cabal is the “most liberal administration EVER in the history of this country” ; otherwise, who can you explain lack of fiscal responsibility in the amassing of this unprecedented national debt?? Would you call that ‘conservative’ by any stretch of the definition? Don’t throw the “liberal moniker” around these parts because you lose the debate immediately when you do.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:22 pmHey Liberal Chris….if you think you will get any traction from using the moniker, then we’ll throw it right back on you…..you need all the help you can get in terms of personal traction, I’d say.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:23 pm“liberals are all for free speech unless you say something they don’t agree with than they want to shut you up or shut you out.”
I’m all for free speech, and you need to shut up.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:23 pmLiberal Chris – the “concern troll” once again on these threads.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:24 pmDon’t feed Liberal Chris, our troll du jour…..he’s got nothing relevant to add to any discussion.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:25 pmI’m not mad. She’s just doing what the Democrats did when they cut and run from FOX.
I guess all liberals are cowards.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:26 pmWow gummitch, that is cold! People in Idaho have feelings too. All 37 of them are going to send you a really nasty letter now.
Comment by shane
Yeah!! I’m getting out the fat crayons and big lined paper. :}
June 14th, 2007 at 12:26 pmI applaud Angelina for courageously delineating her personal options for the release of her film. After all, she has the hollywood clout to make that distinction and make the difference. Soon others will follow her lead and reject the likes of the fictitious news programs like FUXX SNOOZE.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:27 pmChris, the liberal troll, is speaking for himself once again! Wonders never cease!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:28 pmFox News admits bias:
http://slate.com/id/2119864/
“Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly.”
June 14th, 2007 at 12:28 pmSeriously, Liberal Chris, come back strong or don’t come back at all. That was pathetic.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:29 pmOf course #53’s “not mad”….they’re simply “insane”…ROTFLMAO!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:29 pmWait let me get this right.
Angelina Jolie’s true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to ban Fox.
Wow!!!! What a good liberal!!!!
June 14th, 2007 at 12:30 pmNow….as we were before this ChrisTurdTroll took three seconds of our attention….back to Jolie…
June 14th, 2007 at 12:31 pmThe irony is amazing, so is the hypocricy.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:36 pmChris has is all upset because he just found out that his chronic masturbation fantasy figure is a liberal. Looks like he will have to pull out his old photos of Man Coulter again.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:38 pmShe has the right to avoid Fox. Just like most viewers have the right to avoid whatever news channels she is on. Since Fox is slaughtering the other news networks in ratings, this is what viewers seem to be doing.
Liberal media is widely avoided by the public. “Boring and stupid” won’t get ratings, folks.
Whatever happened to Air America? How are CNN’s ratings? How is Katie Couric doing?
LOL.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:38 pm“LOL.”
muckdog, are you actually laughing out loud right now? That’s kinda weird.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:39 pmLiberals used to say “I don’t agree with you, but I will defend to the end your right to say it” Now they say “I don’t agree with you, and I will fight to the end to censor you”.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:39 pmChris,
“I guess all liberals are cowards.”
Why wont the Republicans accept Air America’s invite to do a debate on their network? Are they all ‘cowards’ as well?
June 14th, 2007 at 12:41 pmApparently, no one told Jolie of the highly positive review FOX News had given “A Mighty Heart†from Cannes.
Apparently, no one told Faux that Jolie likes REAL reporters just fine, os if they sent one, they’d have no problems getting in. Oh wait, that’s right, Faux has no real reporters.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:42 pmNow they say “I don’t agree with you, and I will fight to the end to censor youâ€
Either you don’t understand censorship, or you are a douchebag. So, which is it?

What’s Air America? Never heard of it and from their ratings no one else did either.

My point was about liberals wanting to censor things they don’t agree with. Mostly liberals are at this site, so my initial statement rings true about fighting to the end to censor. Who has the ADD, it really isn’t that hard to follow the chain of events here.
June 14th, 2007 at 12:56 pm“Where was the neocon outrage when people were banned from attending Bush rallys?”
See, that’s a viable case of censorship because Bush is a part of government. Do you understand now little Chris and Yep? Do you get it little buddies?

So, from my statement you abstracted that people on this site want to shut down Fox News. I wasn’t telling you anything, I was asking a question — do you understand how censorship works, or are you just being a douchbag? Technically, you’re using a non-sequitor, but I didn’t want to get into that because you are just learning about censorship — I don’t want to confuse you.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:06 pm“See, that’s a viable case of censorship because Bush is a part of government.”
“Please provide links on this and I will point out how wrong you are.”
If you want proof that George Bush is part of the government, then I just don’t know what to say. But, I guess you can start here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/
June 14th, 2007 at 1:08 pm“Please provide links on this and I will point out how wrong you are.”
But, come to think of it, you might be right. George Bush doesn’t act like a President, so he may not actually be our President. If you could prove that he’s not part of our government, I would be thrilled.

You can stop with the crap. My initial post on the matter points out how liberals have changed their view on free speech. I am very aware of how censorship works, which is what liberals would like to have done to Fox News. There was no non-sequitor being used.

That would make sense if Fox News was the press, and not propaganda. They’re not even registered as a News network. They’re registered with the FCC as an entertainment network. How can you insist on freedom of the press when you aren’t the press?

I assume you can back up your claim about Fox News being registered with the FCC as an entertainment network?
June 14th, 2007 at 1:26 pm“I am very aware of how censorship works, which is what liberals would like to have done to Fox News.”
I’m really trying to understand your perception of censorship. So, why don’t you just tell me what you think it is, and how Jolie is practicing it. And, tell me how the Democrats are practicing censorship by refusing to participate in a Fox News debate. Please, I really want to understand your mind.
I think you’re a little confused. An individual that refuses to participate in a news story, is not the same as a body (like the government) refusing to allow news stories to be written. We liberals would like to see Fox News go away, but we’re not pushing the government to put them out of business. You would like to see Air America go away, right? Then by your logic, you are practicing censorship by wishing them out of existence.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:27 pmAnd we have returned to my original point. That Fox is not a news organization but a facist government propaganda outlet.
Joile has no civil obligation to grant access to Fox whatsoever. And yet Fox will still be free (as in not censored) to say whatever it pleases as it has the right to do. Fox cannot demand access to any private citizen or organization. They are not the government, you know.
What pisses you off is that this tactic of disrespecting Fox and ignoring it works and is catching on.
Maybe Wolfie (AIPAC) Blitzer and the other corporate sycophant “journalists” play the game but the rest of us don’t have to.
June 14th, 2007 at 1:27 pmFox “News” is not part of the press. The closest they come is Newsertainment ™
June 14th, 2007 at 1:30 pmI hate all this focus on the unreality of Hollywood. However, I find the following comment very unexpected from a writer on ThinkProgress:
Apparently, no one told Jolie of the highly positive review FOX News had given “A Mighty Heart†from Cannes.
I would hope that the writers at ThinkProgress would know that FOX News has absolutely NO credibility. Therefore, even though FOX News gave Ms. Jolie’s film a highly positive review, that is irrelevant. FOX News cannot be trusted, no matter what is said on that channel.

When did I say than Angelina Jolie was censoring? When did I say that demoncats not wanting to participate in the debate were censoring? I am talking about the left’s agenda to shut down Fox News. The left has tried through the FCC and FTC to get Fox News shut down. That is censorship.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:09 pmAngelina Jolie = awesome, principled, actually HAS a backbone.
mortified Paramount staff = chickensh1t toadies, scared at their own shadow, and especially fox.
FOX News = evil corporation will stop at nothing until we’re all assimilated.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:16 pm“Apparently, no one told Jolie of the highly positive review FOX News had given “A Mighty Heart†from Cannes.”
Who give a flying fark what type of review Fox gave her movie?!
Does this change any political agenda Fox demonstrates daily?
Whoever wrote this obviously has gripe with Jolie’s political stance.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:18 pmWhat slanted tripe!
Why are Americans: Veterans, Patriots, Citizens; Republicans, Democrats, Independent, Libertarian, Green, State & Federal Prosecutors and local Law Officials Uniting to help our Country?
–> Corrupt Politicians, Lobbyists, Corporate and War Profiteers are Destroying our Country, Constitution, our Democracy and Our Public Airwaves..
The Main Point..
JUSTICE. PEACE.
–> #1 SETBACK: U.S. NEWS + FOX = COMPLICIT CORRUPT CORPORATE MASS MEDIA

She’s intelligent, altruistic, loves kids, gorgeous, loves sex, and hates Fox news. I love Angelina Jolie.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:47 pmangelina jolie will be the guest
on tonight’s DAILY SHOW…
you should’ve heard the male audience groan
June 14th, 2007 at 2:59 pmwhen jon announced that last night…
…
Wait let me get this right.
Angelina Jolie’s true colors came out Wednesday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to ban Fox .
I thought this was a joke.
June 14th, 2007 at 3:08 pmShe’s intelligent, altruistic, loves kids, gorgeous, loves sex, and hates Fox news. I love Angelina Jolie.
June 14th, 2007 at 3:35 pmYeah, and add not to bright on this point.
Why ban FOX News from this event? It makes her look foolish. Danny Pearl’s story is one that affected everyone no matter what political leaning. The political message should be one of tolerance as well as a free press. FOX News may not be news but they are part of the free press.
What would D. Pearl think if he was alive?Shame on you liberals.
June 14th, 2007 at 5:17 pmWould Sohzhenitsyn welcome Pravda into his dacha?
It’s way past time to slap these slimy little bastards down a peg or two and the only thing that hurts is cutting ‘em out of the party.
The sound of FauxNews cry baby propagandists whinning is music to my ears.
Snub ‘em til it hurts Angie.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:40 pmPerhaps after his inauguration, President Al Gore will give Jolie the Medal of Freedom for being the first high profile person in the United States to have the guts to tell Faux “News” just how deeply to shove it.
June 15th, 2007 at 5:45 amAre we caring about what the “stars†do?
I don’t care.

Thats brilliant.
Lets see, we, as progressives, who are desperatly trying to have our logic heard, and desperatly trying to shine a light on the corruption and crimes of the Bush administration.
But we “don’t care” about highly educated, articulate intelligent people who share our views, and posses an unmatchable capability to bring attention and focus to our cause.
Absolutely brilliant.

No wonder we’re loosing.
June 15th, 2007 at 3:23 pmNow hear this all you would be friends and compadres who wish to bring your celebrity to our cause, and who dare to try to leverage their fame to influence the masses to see our point of view.
We “don’t care” about what you do.
:|
We apparently don’t need your help…… after all, we’ve done such a bang up job so far.
June 15th, 2007 at 3:26 pmWe prefer to only fill our ranks with people of little or no influence, and we shy away from anyone who’s celebrity or fame might bring our message to more than 12 people at a time.
Please Angelina, we know you’re beautiful, intelligent, educated and articulate, and we know that whenever you speak, MILLIONS are going to hear what you say, so please, don’t say anything to help our cause.
:|
We wouldn’t want that many people hearing about it.
June 15th, 2007 at 3:29 pmI recommend from now on we only engage obscure and unpopular people who have no influence, celebrity or fame to help promote our cause.
That oughta do the trick.
June 15th, 2007 at 3:48 pmIf the neolibs think the majority of the new media isn’t slanted to the left, they’re dumber than I thought. Fox on the other hand has been proven many times over to be neither left nor right. More and more intelligent people are realizing this. Maybe that’s why Fox News is kicking CNN’s butt.
For now, the liberal media runs America. Their only real competition is in conservative talk radio. Liberals, of course, will not tolerate a free and open debate and must do everything necessary to eliminate dissenting opinions from conservatives. They therefore are trying to bring to us the so called “fairness doctrin”.
Although it was Trent Lott that said it, the neolibs have to realize that (conservative) talk radio doesn’t run America. Talk Radio is a reflection of America. Maybe that’s why and Rush and Sean and Ann are leaving all those fools at the foundering Air America in the dust.
June 19th, 2007 at 2:43 amI find it very comical that so many people have a hatred for Fox News. It is very rare that I turn to Fox and actual see news as opposed to some stale talk show, and the same is true for CNN and CNN’s headline news.
Get over it people getting upset and trying to think your bashing of Fox is actually going to put them off the air is moronic at best. The more everyone complains the more it drives a specific targeted audience to thier network. Get off your high horse..
