Visiting FOX News
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 11:25 AM by Steely_Dan
I never watch Fox News. However, this morning I decided to turn it on as I was slumbering in bed...

I am again amazed how Right leaning this "news" network is. I know, you all know this already. However, because it had been so long since I tuned in, it was more apparent than I had thought. Just this morning...here are some snippets from "Fox and Friends."

1) Headline...Should Obama's birthday be a national holiday? The implication is that Obama or his Administration would make it so.

2) Headline...Was Sarah Palin's comment about Africa being a "country" completely false? The implication being that it was.

3) Contents of the meeting between Bush and Obama was leaked. Later Fox implied that the Obama people leaked it, not knowing any better.

4) A black teacher asked her fifth grade students who they would vote for. Then jumping on the students that said McCain.

It went on and on...


And yesterday, Dr. Laura received a call from a mother who was upset because her son's 5th grade teacher revealed that she had voted for Obama. Remember, this is AFTER the election. Dr. Laura told her that she should be reported and then forced to apologize to her class.

Amazing.

2. Fox "News" is a contradiction in terms.


They have nothing in common with real news outlets.

They are a part of the RNC Propaganda Apparatus, just like Limbaugh, Hannity, et al.

3. According to Fox news
the stock market is tanking because it's reacting to Obama's election.

4. Think it was here I read yesterday that Rush was referring to the "Obama recession" before the
election, saying the recession was happening because people were so afraid Obama was going to get elected, and now he's talking about "the Obama Depression" because having BHO as Prez is going to cause the economy to crash.

Two months before the guy takes office. And the True Believers will swallow it, I suppose.

5. Sure, just like they swallowed
that everything that happened during W's first term was Clinton's fault, including 9/11.

6. Is it Sean Hannity's America any more?


I am more amazed that Alan Colmes has sold books... to people. He's as liberal as Joe Lieberman. It's not Hannity and Colmes, it's Hannity, with Alan Colmes breathing and staring off into space. Someone should do a comparison of how much time Hannity gets on air to Colmes.
