Best Example I Have Seen That Bush Is In Trouble
At the gym at lunch. One of the TVs was set to Fox News.

The big headline "White House on the Defensive."

I think maybe Ailes and Murdoch and the good ole boys are starting to see Bush as a liability.

2. As Faux tries to maintain the illusion that they actually are "news"
sometimes they actually have to reluctantly acknowledge things are happening.

Very rarely it happens, yes, but it looks like you just caught it.

3. Fox News is owned by Repukes. Its pure Repuke propaganda.


When will people here ever get this?

At least once a day I have to read some post about "Cnn might be coming around" or "I think Fox has seen the light!"

God, I hate feeling like my side is really this gullible!

Folks...these people are not going to change!!!! Ever!!! Unless they are sold, or unless they are run out of town!!!!

Is everyone here getting this? Hello???!!!! Is this thing on???

Jesus!

5. I don't think that's what they meant, KissMy
They meant that even if our Pravda press is reporting Skippy in trouble, that's an indication of how big this quake is.

6. I agree. Why do people watch that crap on Fox "News"?
Its propaganda, thats all. Irritates me that people from our side will even go on those shows where they get smashed by Hannity, others.
That jerk Colmes is not a "liberal" he is a dupe.

8. How right you are!
I call it the Orrin Hatch Gambit - get out in front of a bombshell by quickly voicing your feigned fears that "IF this is true, then I have serious reservations about X (fill in name of rethug in question)." Then, three to four weeks later, do a complete 180º on the matter, stating "now that I've seen ALL the evidence, I am fully satisfied that X has done nothing wrong." As a kicker, provide the knowing wink and nod that X has actually gotten away with something quite serious, which - rather than being slimy - speaks loads about the political savvy of X.

Old ploy. Some people never seem to learn...which is why the Rs keep rolling out the same strategies again and again.
