43. Sure seems like FAUX knows more than all others about this
I'm reminded of scenes in lots of crime dramas... the detective interviewing a suspect...

Detective: "What do you know about the murder?"

Suspect: "I don't know anything about that guy getting stabbed."

Detective: "I didn't say he was stabbed. How do you happen to know he was stabbed?"

Suspect:"Ahhhhh..... ummmm...."

Seems the posting on FAUX has more info then is possible under the circumstances without having inside info from the perps themselves.

47. I think the FAUX news story is faux...
But I wouldn't put it past FAUX hackers to screw up a bunch of Democratic websites for lack of anything constructive to do. :D

Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 12:46 AM by mouse7
All down for at least a few hours today. Alternet was down tonight. Truthout was hacked last week.

The FAUX story is now apparently faux, but the story isn't. Someoneis going after progressive websites bigtime.

53. Yes My Faux news is most Faux but something is fishy
and the liberal sites better be prepared for a repug onslaught.

I wouldn't put it past them to have teams of eastern euro programmers hard at work on the task of taking down the democratic web.

FBI investigating!!!!!

Related Stories - bush has fucked the US and the world royally.

My God, is faux trying to out-drudge drudge?

This would be even more hillarious if not for the fact that there are still a few poor Jim Bakker types who think this IS THE NEWS.

faux news, you have done the impossible, you have jumped the shark.
