So now we defend Fox News appearances.
Posted by walldude on Wed Apr-30-08 07:47 PM

Obama, goes on a well known racist, xenophobic, GOP propaganda network because they called him a chicken with their little "Obama" clock. Reminds me of McFly.

Hillary, the supposed champion of women everywhere legitimizes the "news" program of a known sexual predator who was rich enough to make his little "problem" silently go away, for only a few million dollars.

And both of them in one form or another are defended on DU. Un-****ing-believable.


Psst FOX IS THE REAL ENEMY.... Nothing good can come from appearing on a propaganda network. Nothing.

I have an idea, why don't we just give up. We're doing everything the GOP wants, we are being played like fools and we are blaming each other. Sad..

Suck it, DUmmy.

I don't have to read it;  I can predict the tenor of the thread.

Baroque Obama was on fox because he wants to reach out, unite, unify, and heal.

hillary was on fox because the is a warmongering corporate whore from hell.

bang on, yes?

13. The difference is...
 ...Obama appears to have been goaded into going on, while Hillary seems to be requesting her appearances. I don't support either, but one does seem worse than the other

 GDP and the primary are ****ing loony bins, no rules are going to help us. I'm just stating my opinion.

A study has shown that watching Fox news actually makes you dumber. 

You really are a Grade-A assclown, walldude. Still brushing up that resume, eh?

FOX News hasn't had to fire a 25 year veteran star over broadcasted lies, deceit, and forgeries, all done in an effort to insure the election of a democrat presidential candidate.  

FOX News has not blown up an American made truck and passed it off as news about a defective product.  

FOX News hasn't had to admit to the public that they constantly broadcasted favorable lies about a ruthless dictator just so they could keep a bureau open in the brutal dictator's country.  

FOX News has not had "the most trusted man in America" look squarely in the camera and call a military victory a crushing embarrassing defeat.  

Should I go on?

Yeah, FOX News.  The "Propaganda Network".

In general, I don't watch too much cable news.  I mean seriously, I used to just sit and watch it all day long at one point.  And then I miss, you know, like the History Channel.

Anyways.  But about Fox News.  It doesn't bother me so much.  I used to watch in the middle of the day really, when they're doing news and not the nightly programs. 

Lately, in the morning when I'm getting ready I've been watching MSNBC b/c I like that blonde woman that's on there.

mika brzezinski.  zbig's daughter.  blazing, unabashed liberal. 



I gave up on fox and friends in the morning, and changed to the show she is on, morning joe.  scarborough is becoming a traveller, but it is crack for political junkies.

The only thing that defines the night is the day.

By railing continually against Fox they are admitting what we have known forever about the rest of the media cabal being leftist.

They are too stupid to understand this.

I actually watch Fox and Friends in the morning.  Brian cracks me up.  They actually seem like they have fun doing their job.

My wife watches FOX4 News in the morns.  I try not to.  As for FOX News on cable, I don't even know what channel it's on.

For Grande Communications (our cable) it's 41.  Check which station it is for you and watch one of their morning shows.  It's over at 8:00 am.

I think I wandered over to the scarborough morning show the first time (other than because joe scarborough was a republican representative) because the fox weather guy (who never seems to do the weather) wouldn't stop pushing his book.  steve doocy, it seems like his name is . . . and then I just enjoyed the other show more.

I watch mainly for Brian Kilmeade, he is funny, sometimes stupid but always entertaining.

I usually start watching around 8am.  They do a lot of political news, I think that's why I like it.  I do like it when Joe's on there too.

I watch Fox4 to get the weather right when I wake up and traffic right before I leave.

totally 

did you see Shep going off on the guy yesterday?? he was foaming at the mouth and literally screaming at the guy (an Obama/Wright supporter.. and a black guy to boot) .. he seems to do ok overall when it doesnt have to do with Mississippi.. or Britney, who is a native Mississippian.

[Lauri]

and a note for the DUmmies... of course Hilary had to do FOX, its where most moderates and independents get their news.

oh and its the highest rated, no matter what anyone thinks of it - thats a fact.

Hilary and Obama and Kerry and Gore and Edwards are idiots if they ignore the biggest audience for politics. you notice none of them are killing themselves to get on Olberman or Mathews..

My favorite Shep moment was during Hurricane Rita.  When he almost got blown over by the wind.

I watch matthews during election years.  he is a MASSIVE moonbat, but I like to see what the enemy is up to.  oh, and when he has lawrence o'donnel on his show, someone invariably loses their mind right there on camera.

That's a whole nother story.  This was when Rita was making landfall, so in the middle of the night, maybe 2 or 3 am.  He was like "woah...."  and went off screen and then came back.

Shep Smith was arrested in 2001 after an altercation with another journalist over a parking place. Allegedly, a female journalist was saving a parking spot for someone and Smith backed into her car and yelled an obscenity to a group of bystanders. All charges against him were later dropped.  http://crime.about.com/od/famousdiduno/ig/celebrity_mugshots/shephard.htm

i think every reporter must have a clause in their contract which states, "you WILL stand in a hurricane/tsunami/earthquake no matter how pretty your face is. and you WILL like it."
