Is Fox & Friends an RNC info-mercial?
   
I tuned into some of Fox & Friends this morning. They pushed hard on the issue of Hillary supporters running to McCain. They pushed hard the issue of the Clinton's "hijacking" the convention. All this in about 30 minutes. How much spin can they pack in?

It was about all of the right-wing propaganda I could take on an empty stomach.

5. Even Scotty "Puffy" McClennan acknowledged as much in his new book
   
The White House relied (relies) heavily on Fox News to disseminate it's propaganda because Fox News simply reads their press releases and never actually questions anything sent to them. If it's BushCo/GOP policy, Fox will promote it. It's no secret. Though it's incredibly sad how many people in this day and age STILL think they're watching an actual "news" show.

Hmmmm.  8:50 a.m. eastern time over there in Connecticut.

Pedro Picasso must have been run out of inserts to stuff into envelopes for political mass-mailings, and posted while waiting for the lady who pushes the metal cart around, delivering cardboard trays of envelopes and inserts, to get to his table.

14. Nothing "average" about Fox News' audience
   
They're the best and brightest the right wing has to offer. Damn, that's frightening.

18. Is anything at Faux *not* an RNC info-mercial?

It's mostly like this, nothing new in it, the usual primitive jibber-jabber.

Damn, Skins's island today is more boring than watching the Bostonian Drunkard snore.

My guess is that they are either heavily medicated or just a built in malaise to deal with the reality that not only has Obama not been declared President but that he could easily lose.

Sort of a protection for their delusions.

...And then their uncrowned prince fell off his horse at about 3:00 PM and DU wasn't boring anymore.......
