Apparently Fox News is fine with Censorship

When I look for the origin of a word, I tend to trust the OED (Oxford English Dictionary). It is generally considered the authority on the English language.

If you are unfamiliar with how the OED works, here it is in a nutshell.

It traces the meanings, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words through 2.5 million quotations gathered from international English starting in the Early Middle English Period (1150 C.E.).

I looked up the word: reporter.

Here's what the oldest source of the recorded meaning of the English language defines it as:
"One who reports debates, speeches, meetings. etc.; a person specially employed for this purpose" (origin in written text in 1617).

Seems the "reporters" at Fox News aren't going to do their jobs, Rupert, at 8PM, April 29, 2009.

I think there's a case for a type of censorship here...

Censorship from the OED:
"The inspection of all journals, books, dramatic pieces, texts, etc. before publication to ensure they contain nothing immoral, heretical, or offensive to the government (origin in 1644). In this case, insert Rupert Murdoch as the "government."

Rupert has decided that the Fox audience doesn't need to actually hear and see the POTUS talk to *them* and the *press.* They'll get the Cliff's Notes from Hannity, O'Reilly, and Beck.

Way to encourage critical thinking skills, Fox.

No wonder those who are Fox devotees have the abstract thinking ability of 7 year-olds. That's how their news source treats them...
