So I was just scanning the tube when I saw that fox news, the most anti-pot news channel, had a panel of five fairly conservative peeps on and ALL of them thought it should be legalized! 2 even thought that it shouldn't even be taxed unless you sell it!!! What can stand in our way now??? Oh yea... politicians

I saw this segment as well and was supprised too. I've noticed lately that Fox news in general has really lightened up on the legalization of it. I'm not a huge news watcher anyhow, but I do watch Fox news from time to time. I prefer it over the other major networks as my political views seem to lean towards stereotypical Republican.

I think now that the facts are coming out and the economy is in the dumps, this can only help the MJ scene. Everyones eyes and ears open up when money is involved.

ya - they will go with whatever is popular - if republicans decided the earth was doughnut shaped - we would hear some heated debates over it....

You are speaking the complete truth. The economy is in the shitter and legal marijuana will save it and bring it up better than it has ever been.

"ya - they will go with whatever is popular" +1

Whatever gets the viewers.

We can only hope. Maybe Murdock has some related investments that will benefit from legalization. Maybe someone at Fox decided that it was too inconsistent to promote capitalism and free markets while using uninformed dogma to suppress such a viable economic generator as the MJ industry. They might think it would give too much ammo for others to cry hypocrisy.

In any case I will be interested to see how the true ditto heads that support prohibition and who believe that they are leading rather than following will react to what they are sure to see as Fox breaking ranks. Will they cry betrayal or will they change direction to follow Fox's lead?

I'm not taking any shots at conservatism here. There are ditto heads on every side of every issue. For each issue some are lucky to be ditto-ing correctly and some not. It just seems to me that the ditto heads are the ones that go flying off into the trees when the conventional wisdom of those around them changes and "cracks the whip" on them (a ski boat changes direction quickly and throws the skier off of the line. Only the strongest and best skiers can hold on).

Fox is hiring alot of Constitutionalists and Libertarians these days.
John Stosel, Judge Napolitono and so forth, who are pro-legalization.
The Pin-heads Hannity, Beck, Bill'O, they still oppose it.
However I think Beck could be brought on board if he thinks it will make the economy better.
And If it can be proven to be no worse then alcohol.

Link maybe?

I really don't think Beck opposes the legalization of marijuana. He has some serious skeletons in his closet and, not knocking him, he really hates to dwell too long on the subject... maybe because his peers know all too well of his past and may assume he's back on the train if he starts hyping green too much. Does that make sense?
