Does "Retrograde" Mean "The Wave of the Future"?

Remember when the Left purported to be against censorship?

Check this out (and make sure you look at the picture of this happy entrepreneur):

It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News Channel. The creator of the "Fox Blocker" contends the network is not news at all.

Kimery says he has sold about 100 of the little silver bits of metal that screw into the back of most televisions, allowing people to filter Fox News from their sets. The Tulsa, Okla., resident also has received thousands of e-mails, both angry and complimentary, as well as a few death threats since the device debuted in August.

"Apparently the making of terroristic threats against those who don't share your views is a high art form among a certain core audience," said Kimery, 45.

Formerly a registered Republican, even a precinct captain, Kimery became an independent in the 1990s when he said the state party stopped taking input from everyday members.

Kimery now contends Fox News' top-level management dictates a conservative journalistic bias, that inaccuracies never are retracted, and what airs is more opinion than news.

"I might as well be reading tabloids out of the grocery store," he said. "Anything to get a rise out of the viewer and to reinforce certain retrograde notions."


I'd place 50/50 odds that the guy is lying about his past Republican activism too.

If the libs want to pay $8.95 a pop to do something the channel changer in their hand already does, I think that's wonderful---it's less money in their pocket to spend on pot and patchouli.
