Oh, This Is Bound To Be Fun
Posted on July 9, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama, FOX News, Jesse Jackson, the media | Leave a Comment
Unless I’m sorely mistaken, which is quite plausible given the weirdness of the story, Jesse Jackson said something bad about Barack Obama which FOX News and only FOX News has on tape and FOX News plans to air that tape but has not done so yet, so everyone knows Jackson said something FOX claims is [...]
FOX News Does Its Thing

Fun with polling:
A new Fox News poll shows Sen. Barack Obama edging Sen. John McCain nationally, 42% to 39%, within the poll’s three point margin of error.
Meanwhile — in what has to be one of the dumbest questions ever to appear in a poll — 64% of voters think McCain loves America “a great deal” [...]
FOX News Slips From Self-Parody To Overt, Undeniable, Horrific Racism

Salon has a screenshot:
Holy fuck. Every black mother, regardless of marital status or any other considerations, is nothing more than a “baby mama” to FOX. That is fucking sick.
This campaign really is going to get a whole lot uglier the worse McCain’s chances get. Fortunately, I trust my fellow citizens enough to think that we’ve [...]
Random Digressions Are More Interesting Than Checking The Weather Report For The Fourth Time Since I Nearly Evaporated While Outside For Lunch
Posted on June 10, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under E.D. Hill, FOX News | 5 Comments
E.D. Hill (the FOX anchor who made the infamously hilarious “terrorist fist jab” remark) is a woman? Who knew?!? I assumed we were talking about a man right up until Josh Marshall used the pronoun “she” in a post this afternoon.
Was I being sexist? It seems as though hardly any women use initials in place [...]
When I Said Before That I Spent The Day Obsessing Over Stupid Shit, This Is Mostly What I Meant
Posted on May 28, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under FOX News, Holocaust, World War II | Leave a Comment
If this is true, FOX News has gone way past the line of… advocating war and torture? Wait, scratch that. This is definitely par for the course for FOX News, but it hits me on a personal level and makes me want to break things.
This morning on the program Fox and Friends, one of the [...]
Olbermann, O’Reilly, And Corporate Power
Posted on May 19, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Bill O'Reilly, FOX News, GE, Keith Olbermann, NBC, News Corp., the media | Leave a Comment
Steve Benen reacts to a Howard Kurtz piece on the ongoing Olbermann/O’Reilly cable news feud. For those uninterested in clicking through, Kurtz describes the increasing involvement of top-level GE and News Corp. (the respective corporate overIords) executives in the feud and the dragging of those large brand names into the on-air rivalry. I agree with [...]
Even FOX Ain’t Buying Their Bullshit
Posted on April 30, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, DNC, FOX News, RNC | Leave a Comment
Greg Sargent reports that FOX is engaging in traitorous comforting of the enemy:
A Democratic National Committee spokesperson confirms to me that the DNC, somewhat puckishly, asked Fox News if the network would run its ad attacking McCain over his 100-years Iraq talk — and that Fox has agreed.
The reason this is amusing is that [...]
Way To Suck, Ed Rendell
Posted on March 31, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Ed Rendell, FOX News, Hillary Clinton | 1 Comment
“VRWC” jokes aside, legitimizing FOX News is decidedly not cool:
Drudge, Limbaugh, Richard Mellon Scaife, The American Spectator… Which element of the VRWC will the Clinton campaign make common cause with next? Enter top Clinton surrogate Ed Rendell:
I think during this entire primary coverage, starting in Iowa and up to the present — FOX has done [...]
