Its been called treason, or close to that, by a few people here too. 
And, hell yes its going on. Its one idiot running the entire network, 
and hand picking right wingers, loud mouths, and clueless, but good 
looking, rubes, who will either lie, distort, or just repeat, out of 
shear ignorance, everything the people lying and distorting are saying. 
The key here is, "Its not run by the government", so technically, since 
their has been no direct connection made between government officials 
and the loonies on the network, other than them siding with them, they 
can't do much.

Basically though, you get similar insane bullshit in rag magazines, from 
my understanding, in some places, including Britain. What differs here 
is that its a major news network, being run by someone who should be 
publishing rag magazines.
