Fox News is Going Down - MAJOR Bust by Daily Show 
 
Tue Nov 10, 2009 at 10:42:12 PM PST

Just when you thought it couldn't be any more obvious that Fox News is a Dime-Store Propaganda Lie Factory, there's this:

VIDEO:
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200911100063

In the above clip from tonight's show, Fox News is caught using file footage of the better-attended Sept. 12 Tea-Party rally as if it were from the most recent Michelle Bachmann low-turnout event on the Capitol steps. We owe Jon Stewart and his crew an enormous debt of gratitude for breaking this story.

They used clips from a decade ago to make 9/12 look bigger and then, used 9/12 footage to make this latest charade look bigger. Do you think they are trying to convince people that there are more people opposed to this then there actually are?

Well, it's certainly impeccably sourced, isn't it?

This person has an avatar of one Henry Waxman.  I have no idea what it's trying to say.

11. If the teabagger movement is so huge
 why do they need to artificially inflate their numbers with doctored videos and outright lies? I hope all this leads to an irreversible schism among conservatives - one that cannot be mended by Election Day. I want a teabagger facing a neocon in every district in the country next year!
 

Some people over there are saying ho-hum, others are salivating about destroying the mighty Fox.

Washington (CNN) -- The thousands of restive conservative protesters milling outside the west front of the Capitol last week definitely didn't seem in the mood to listen -- but there was at least one voice they wanted to hear.

Hannity doesn't edit the video clips, DUmmies.  Some peon in the editing room made a mistake.  Big deal.  It's not like they faked TANG memos in order to smear a sitting president and influence the outcome of a presidential election.

The Media Equation
The Battle Between the White House and Fox News
By DAVID CARR
The Obama administration, which would seem to have its hands full with a two-front war in Iraq and Afghanistan, opened up a third front last week, this time with Fox News.

Until this point, the conflict had been mostly a one-sided affair, with Fox News hosts promoting tax day “tea parties” that focused protest on the new president, and more recently bringing down the presidential adviser Van Jones through rugged coverage that caught the administration, and other news organizations, off guard. During the health care debate, Fox News has put a megaphone to opponents, some of whom have advanced far-fetched theories about the impact of reform. And even farther out on the edge, the network’s most visible star of the moment, Glenn Beck, has said the president has “a deep-seated hatred for white people.”

Administration officials seemed to have decided that they had had enough.

This is why I still have some lingering doubts about the kaput primitive's bona fides as an authentic primitive.   She probably is a genuine primitive, but there remains some uncertainty.

The kaput primitive, who lives in Streisandian opulence and luxury in a gated community in far southern California, has a habit of posting sensational stories that get the hopes of the primitives up.....and then nothing ever happens.

That's an excellent modus operendi for a mole; get the primitives all atitter and worked up.....and then nothing happens.
