DUmmy Atman Offers A Thanksgiving Bouncy
« on: November 27, 2014, 07:44:34 PM »
The permanently unemployed McGrath kicks off the Thanksgiving bouncy season with a pretty weak effort:

I kept my opinions to myself all during dinner, until...

RW mother in law asks, right at the end of the meal, "So, what do y'all think of what happened with the policeman shooting the black boy?"

Uh oh. Take another bite of pie.

We actually had a pretty civil conversation for a bit. For my part, to attempt to stay clear of controversy, I indicted the media and they've whipped us into a frenzy for ratings. That worked out well until I mentioned Fox. The in-laws, avid Fox watchers, were totally taken aback at my suggestion that Fox was not an impartial source. I pointed out the history of Fox, and their lack of an actual news division. It got hotter than a fresh scoop of stuffing, but we managed to change the subject after mother in law says she'd like to learn more about Fox and Roger Ailles. Shocker! Wow!

Thanksgiving surprise. But I guarantee we'll awaken to "Fox & Friends" again tomorrow morning...at 110 decibels.

Something more interesting than DUmmy Rob's imagined conversation with the in-laws is to consider what these in-laws think of their unemployed, unmotivated son-in-law.

Seems to me it would really grate on the parents.

You know, a deadbeat who watches TV all day, living off the labor of their daughter.

If it were me, I might be a little hostile toward DUmmy Atman, but that's just me.

2. when the conversation turns to faux news

I always ask if the person knows that company won a lawsuit saying it had the right to lie in reporting.

6. I used that one pretty quickly.

She had no idea. That actually did seem to raise an eyebrow when I pointed out that Fox won a lawsuit to lie. That seemed to be the turning point for her. I can only hope.
You can bet that Rob knows more about daytime TV than anyone else in the room.

<<<knows Atman like the back of hand.

What the "RW mother-in-law" asked, right at the end of the meal, was "was the pumpkin pie okay?"

Trust me.

<<<knows.

Dang, I wish the Dummies would check with us before posting bouncies.

We have a whole thread filled with requests on content and form.

This doesn't even get 1/2 a bong.  Maybe a toke.

Fox News is expanding MSNBC, CNN and the alphabets are contracting.

The ruling

The Internet meme claims, "Fox admits they lie" and, under the First Amendment, "have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves."

The claim doesn't track back to the national cable network most people know. Instead, it's rooted in a wrongful termination lawsuit between a Tampa Fox affiliate and two reporters. The heart of the suit was whether the Fox affiliate wrongly fired the reporters over a story about a synthetic growth hormone in Florida dairy cattle.

The reporters and the station disagreed about the accuracy of the story.

As part of the lawsuit, lawyers for the station argued that the courts do not have the right to play referee on story decisions -- citing the First Amendment.

We found no evidence that the Fox affiliate admitted that it lied about the news it ultimately presented, and we certainly found no evidence that Fox News as a whole admits it lies (in the present tense).

While the Fox affiliate argued that it has the right to present the news as it chooses, it’s quite a leap to suggest Fox as a television corporation defended some right to "distort news reports" -- other than in a hypothetical sense to quash a wrongful termination suit.

This meme wasn’t conjured out of thin air, but it’s not accurate. We rate it False.

I've heard so many on the left talk about Fox winning the court case, but never bothered to search it. It doesn't take much to debunk their lies about Fox News.

Thanks, Frank!  Pretty sure he posted others in past years, hell, maybe it is an annual thing.

I'm sure he has too, but that one's the only one I could find on short notice.

Remember, Atman's been one of the most popular stars of the DUmpster, and so there's volumes and volumes of him here in the archives.  I'm sure a compilation would make a set of encyclopedias.
