Fox ‘News’ Labels McCain a Democrat

They Just Can't Help Themselves...

Share article:

That was then, as The BRAD BLOG broke the story on 10/3/06. This is RIGHT NOW…

Fox “News”, of course, tells Newser that “this was gross incompetence by a producer — nothing more.” In the Foley matter, they said “it was an honest mistake,” and thus never bothered to issue an on-air correction or apology.

Seems to be quite a bit of “gross incompetence” and “honest mistakes” going around at “the most powerful name in news,” where they just don’t seem to have the power to to overcome their unfair and unbalanced subconsciousness, we guess.

Speaking of which, it seems FNC may be facing a bit of internal trouble in the face of the American public finally beginning to come to grips with their “fair and balanced” scam, if reading the tea leaves from this internal memo from Roger Ailes to his staff today is any indication anyway…

    I’ve been following this blog for a while, and there is much useful information. On the other hand, whoopdeedoo on this one…is this really even relevant when we consider the entire media blackout that has been perpetrated against Ron Paul?

    Personally, I think no. They give McCain enough free airtime that everyone will recognize this as a mistake…on the other hand there are still people out there saying “Who the fuck is Ron Paul?”.

    “My proudest accomplishment is being able to keep my word to Mr. Murdoch that I could and would lead the effort to build a fair and balanced news network.”

    “The Fox News Channel can now go on forever without depending on any single person. We all make significant contributions but the brand is the Fox News Channel. We have a fantastic network where risks are not only tolerated but encouraged.”

    – Roger Ailes 2/8/2008

    Faux snooze could also learn a bit about economics by catching up with the people and listening to their ideas about stimulating the economy:

    Pulling out of the [IRAQ] war ranked first among proposed remedies in the survey, followed by spending more on domestic programs, cutting taxes and, at the bottom end, giving rebates to poor people in hopes they’ll spend the economy into recovery …

    (AP Poll, emphasis added). The McCainosaur (JoJ #3) wants a 100 years war to help the economy.

    HELLOOOOOOOO war mongers … get a freakin grip !!!!

    All they need to do now is label Hillary as Republican and they(Amurkans) should be right on track.

    RE:#1-Is it not useful to know that the “News” is full of shit? AND/OR Where the fuck is Ron Paul on IMPEACHMENT?

    We have caught a few of the perverts, my guess is that all congress are up to no good. This could be the only reason why they equate money with free speech. Hillary and Bill are CIA operatives. Money will be used to cover up all past misdeeds.

    WOW. So Fox news finally got something RIGHT for a change. Sorry, Brad but McCain *IS* a democrat, just because he’s a member of the GOP doesn’t change that, after all can a zebra change it’s stripes?
