Fox News just can't handle 'the News' -- any Good Economic News

Fox News just can't handle 'the News' -- any Good Economic News

by jamess

Fox News has been rooting for "America to Fail -- ever since 2008" ...

And according to Jon Stewart, Fox News knows how to make Lemonade, out of an ever-improving economic situation -- they simply read the talking-point script!

I Can't Believe It Got Better!

The Daily Show -- February 28, 2012

America's economic recovery is good news, unless you work for a media organization whose job it is to make sure Barack Obama doesn't get re-elected.

partial transcript:

Fox-caster:

We've talked to some political analysts who say: "Regardless of the [economic] numbers, it's how you feel in the 3 or 4 months before the election -- How do you feel!"

Stewart:

Let me see if I got this straight:

"The numbers are real -- but they're not good. In fact they're bad. Actually they're fake."

And even it they were "real and good" -- it wouldn't matter because: 'It's about how bad you feel' ... and that's where WE come in:

"Fox News: rooting for America to Fail -- ever since 2008."

Quick someone turn that a bumper stick.

You know, I try to watch some Fox shows and
look at RW blogs in order to get a balanced
view of things.

Every time I do I get pissed off brcause it's all
spin and lies and it just doesn't make sense!

I try but they are so stupid!
It's just propaganda!

Geist, he's up on the sports news and some political happenings, but then I'm forced to go to another station. Joe shows up, I then go to F&F just to check out if they're more absurd than Joe, and yes, they are out there...LOL. I then come to DU to find out what is really going on.
