FOX-TV working with Repubs to orchestrate entrance into Senate chambers

Can you believe it! Fair and balanced, huh? Harry Reid just presented a memo reportedly from FOX News that was requesting info as to whether the Repubs were all going to march in at exactly 6:02PM so they could get it live on the Brit Hume Show! They wanted a TV production made out of our Senate proceedings. Can you believe it?

11. After Fox's commercial breaks at the top of the hour

they wanted to make sure they were set to carry it live.

I guess they were opting for dramatics. :silly:

2. Fox

I can't wait until a Democrat wins the White House so Fox News Channel can be shown the door and barred from White House Press briefings: "Oh, you guys at Fox want to keep your FCC license? Let's just wait and see how you cover this administration!"

4. UNF***INGBELIEVABLE

You know, my first response was to ask "Isn't the role of the media to REPORT events, not shape or create them?" and then I realized we're talking about the crybabies on faux who like to play dress-up journalism.

What an effin' joke, and I am SOOOOOO glad it was exposed.

Wonder if the mouthpiece for the bush regime will report this?

I'm missing my cable and glad its gone at the same time.

5. I saw that, too, the repukes and FAUX are so arrogant, they

know they can get away with anything. And they don't care who knows, that is the scary part.

6. e-mail and yes I just saw that. E-mail was sent to all 51 Repubes

The "upper house" right?

Uh-oh someone must have leaked it.

I'm sure they were supposed to enter "forcefully"

Dick Durbin is repeating it now.

10. Yep and the Dems ar HAMMERING the Federalist Society nominations

They are bringing that phrase into the national discussion. They actually seem to have some nuts on this.

My wife was very impressed with Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois.

7. Yes I can "believe it" and it's only going to

get more atrocious! they know no bounds and will stop at nothing to get what they want. That's why I want Dean because he is brave enough to call them on their Deceit.
