1. Recommended 1,000 times. Except they make Hannity look too intelligent.
Faux is totally out of control now. They are on the verge of overreaching; it's just a matter of time.

I will know they have finally gone too far when George Hannityophoulos finally doesn't do their bidding.

It's all the rage. Just ask their leader, that hillbilly heroin drug addict and alleged pedophile Rush Limbaugh. It's their version of the 90's heroin chic.

Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 05:25 PM by Ken Burch
Maybe he'd be interviewing the Lord of Eltingville about his friendship with Frank Sinatra


And here's a classic Sheppard Smith portrait:



I didn't know he'd been in the "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

60. Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters (anti-semitic propaganda pics)
Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters

Summary: During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head.

On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.

After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.

Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.



Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed, dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back.

63. I feel left out

I've never watched Fox News; in fact, I removed it from my cable lineup.

And worst of all, while these are pretty funny, I'm not having as much fun as you guys are with this. It's because I don't see these people so I can't really appreciate the exaggerated characteristics.

Imagine how weird this is--I do know the names--like "Brit Hume"-- from reading at DU and this is the first chance I've had connecting the name to the face! And since I don't know the face, forever in my mind, this will be what I imagine when I think of that person.

I am so envious of the person who got this assignment from Vanity Fair. Imagine getting paid to do this!



Cher
