Funny thing is more than a few of these students will end up being conservatives after they graduate and work in the real world for a few years.
Via Campus Reform:
Students at George Mason University (GMU) signed a petition early this month asking President Obama to listen in on the “private conversations” of all Fox News employees and their families.
The petition, which was circulated on GMU’s flagship campus in Fairfax, Va, near Washington D.C., by Media Research Center video reporter Dan Joseph, described the right-leaning news channel as “a threat to media integrity and an informed populace.”
“We want the to be able to legally read their private e-mails and listen in on phone conversations between Fox News employees and their associates and their families,” Joseph explained to students, asking for their support.
Reactions were mixed. While a handful of students appealed to a “the First Amendment” and the right to privacy, several described their “hate” for the news channel.
“Can you give me some time to think about this?,” asked one student before eventually providing his signature.
Another student expressed frustration that such a surveillance program would likely conflict with constitutional law.
“It’s virtually impossible but its a good cause,” she said. “I like your cause.”
