Why Fox SUCKS, continued...fake Bush "assassination plot" story is GONE...
I may be stupid and / or naive, but if someone is indicted under suspicion of assassinating THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, you DO NOT yank it off the front page and replace it with MICHAEL JACKSON BULLSHIT.

He's THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, whether he's a spoiled rich frat boy fake cowboy draft dodging election stealing SOB or NOT.

He's THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, and unless yesterday's story was a KARL ROVE PLANT, it BELONGS ON THE FRONT PAGE. NOT FUCKING "JACKO."

I posted THIS thread yesterday:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1616806&mesg_id=1616806

and essentially said that the "assassination plot" was a diversionary tactic in light of the TANKING of Junior's SS scam (and probably the Gannon fiasco, too).

TODAY, the Fox front page is littered with hard-hitting investigative reports on Anna Kournikova, Naoimi Campbell, Mia Farrow and Michael Jackson. NOT ONE WORD on the Bush "assassination attempt" or "Ahmed Omar Abu Ali," the guy suspected of planning it.

Rupert, SERIOUSLY...a place is being kept warm for you in hell.

:grr:

2. Beyond ridiculous, and the more they cover Schiavo, Jacko
teacher-sex-scandal, murder-in-texas the mre ludicrous they look....but, and here's the kicker NOBODY seems to care!

Reportage of this "piffle" (b hume on gannongate) is bad enuf-but the lack of outcry or even _notice_ is just a whole insult to injury travesty. :(

3. The story gets a little ugly when the torture is mentioned.
Time to move along to something else.

4. In the news business, yesterday's news is just that. I doubt that they
had anything new to impart since yesterday. I hate FOX completely and wouldn't trust them for the weather, but news, even before the electronic age, has always been sort of immediate. Wouldn't surprise me to find that there wasn't much to that story in the first place, since it was apparently based on a couple of things that had been said, and possibly just a lot of wishful thinking. Of course, yesterday's news is also something you can beat to death if you are more concerned about the splashy stories boosting ratings.
