Fox News and its right-wing functionaries threaten the fabric of our electoral system. The push back should start with denying them legitimacy. That means exposing their hypocritical invocation of the “rule of law,” challenging their simplistic “anything goes” standard of patriotism and denouncing their use of guilt-by-association.

Stalin and Mao---or any other leftist dictator wannabe would be in full agreement with you.  Free speech and freedom of the press is very inconvenient for a leftist movement whose existence is dependent upon keeping the "unwashed masses" in the political equivalent of "barefoot and pregnant"---ignorant and uninformed as well.  The left is in a hissing, spitting fit of distemper because in open competition in the media has FOX and other conservative outlets demolishing the decades long domination of MSM news and views resources.  Obama doesn't have to take the hit for the current leftist movement against free speech, freedom of the press, and constitutional political dissent---his financial and philosophical "Sugar Daddy"---George Soros is handling it through Media Matters and the other rat's nest of Socialist organizations he funds.
