Statement

Art combats apathy, provokes consciousness and unites people around humanitarian or political issues. Art belongs to the masses and not only in galleries o r museums. I take my art to the street in order to make my voice heard by all people, regardless of race or gender. My art plays a subversive role in society, offering an alternative narrative to the dominant culture. I hope to initiate a dialogue in the community, not only about political issues, but also about the assumption that art and politics do not mix.

You are confusing entertainment with truth. Since all truth is subjective, you cannot expect news to be anything more than entertainment. Art, like news, and like any form of speech, is political -- it wants to persuade. Effective art, news and speech is entertaining. The fact that you may disagree with Fox News really misses the point.

I disagree. News is not entertainment; it is the reporting of facts and evidence. All the things that once made our country great, things like journalistic integrity, have vanished or become perverted by those who control the media (for their profit.) Once we crossed that line between truth and propaganda, we became no better than any communist or facist dictatorship. I don't only disagree with Fox News, but with the entire mainstream media.
