It was interesting watching the Faux News round table defend Hillary this morning
I always catch a few minutes of Faux on my regular teevee (no cable/satellite) on Sunday am just before I turn to Press the Meat.

Brit Hume, Bill Kristol and even Chris Wallace were all defending Clinton on the recent claims that she and Bill made racial comments. Juan Williams had a different approach -- explaining that the timing of the comments came on the heels of Cuomo's comments ("You can't shuck and jive at a press conference..."), and that is why they were offensive. Wallace even stepped in very quickly to defend Cuomo's comments, assuring viewers that Cuomo was referring to 'candidates' and not specifically Obama.


:wtf:

2. I wish I knew why the Hillary people are comfortable
with Faux selling her. That is a huge red flag that so many ignore.

4. Maybe Cause We Don't Give A Fuck What Faux News Thinks, And Actually, Like, Use Our Own Minds?
I like her because I think she's a good Democrat, even though at times she's disappointed me. I personally don't give a rat's fat ass what faux news says about her, since that would make me an immature jackass.

12. You are aware that she received huge money
from the ring leader of FOX? That is the only reason that I care.

5. Probably that big contribution she got from Murdoch
made her warm up to the idea.
Duck! here comes the Hillary police!

7. While I'm leaning towards Hillary, and DEFINITELY AGAINST the obama cult...
I'd say they don't give a rat's ass what FUX does or says, as do most of us all here on DU...

FUX will say ANYTHING to SELL ITSELF...

and don't pretend for a moment that FUX cares a flying fuck about the DEMOCRATIC - that's Democra-TIC - Party...(they almost ALWAYS refer to us as the "Democrat" Party)...

8. I wish I knew why most of the Obama people are so comfortable with all
these republicans voting for him. That is a huge red flag that so many ignore.:) Sorry I couldn't help myself.

But I really would like to know what is so appealing about Obama to republicans.

9. The Fox News gang would do anything to win the GE........
and so yes, it is quite instructive to see them defending Mrs. Clinton. Anyone who thinks that the GOP wants to run against anyone other than Senator Clinton is deluding themselves.

14. They're using child psychology
Everyone knows that anyone the pukes support will be looked upon with suspicion and disdain.

They started with Obama and most of us questioned it. Rove has always said they want to run against Hillary. You can be assured that he said the opposite of what he really feels.

The hapless slobs at Faux don't know which end is up. The MSM is seeing that whatever they say gets the opposite response among the voters.

3. The point is argued endlessly here, but FOX won't know what to do with itself if it doesn't have
its precious HRC to run against. My opinion.

I wish I had a Youtube clip of it, but just before the primaries, I distinctly saw neocon Krauthammer on one of the pundit roundtables actually SAYING, almost under his breath, that if the HRC candidacy/story died out, they (the "media") would actually REVIVE it to keep it alive.

It was one of those "half sarcastic but not really" kind of things.

I wish I could remember which show/network it was. Pretty sure it was FOX though, that shit is always on at the places I work.

10. really?
there are people at this website who listen to Flush and Insanity and Savage on the radio every day...doesn't mean they support that pont of view

I think watching any of the Sunday morning "roundtable"(s) is about the same: corporate gabfests with slight variations in tone

11. Oh, I think it is very important to check in once in a while
As I've mentioned before here on DU Fox News had a lot to do with my awakening with regard to Bush & Co. and Iraq, etc. I see it as a barometer, in a sense, and whether I watch it a few minutes each week, or visit sites that keep track of it for us, I always make it a habit of knowing what they are up to.

13. I NEVER post anything from Faux news...
because I don't care what they say and I don't waste my valuable time watching them.

Just wanting others' thoughts on the matter.
