Ha ha ha ha faux 'news' and their bubble

Yes, I turned them on just to see what they had to say about the killings in Connecticut.
To their credit they have been very respectful - even towards our President's visit today.

But then they turned to the fiscal 'cliff'.
They showed an internal faux poll on how faux sheeple think the fiscal cliff should be dealt with.
Number one answer - cut government spending including entitlements.
And proceeded to tell their viewers that this poll shows that the majority thinks that government spending should be cut & NOT TO RAISE TAXES.

Then they showed another faux news viewers poll about favorability ratings for the parties. Yep, you guessed it.


Bubbles for ALL!

And that is why they were so shocked on election night my friends, they have purdy blonde haired women passing out bubbles.

I wonder if they'd be so gung ho if it meant cutting mental health facilities that can help to prevent the next mass shooting. Or is that wasteful spending, too?

Mental health and services for the disabled are always first on the chopping block.
