This Faux "News" poll is ridiculous.

Here is the question and possible answers:


What best describes your view of President Bush's decision to permit Condoleezza Rice to testify before the 9/11 Commission?

1. He got bullied by his opponents and caved in for political reasons

2. He is very wise to change his mind.

3. Her testimony is important.

4. I worry that presidents will not be able to get candid advice in
the future

5. I think this issue is "much ado about nothing"

6. None of the above


How Orwellian, all the answers benefit Bush.

1. #6

Democracy only works when there is transparency and accountability

2. Is it my imagination, or has Fox News become much more

obvious about their bias over the last 2 years or so? I remember back when they seemed to fly under the radar. These days it seems like they're *really overt* about their shilling for Bush.

Sometimes I turn to that station and just laugh. Everything is draped in a flag, and there's a constant "TERROR LEVEL: ORANGE!" plastered to the screen. It's so blatant.

3. I have noticed that too.

I think it is because of BushCo starting to get in more trouble that they are doing this. Every time some scandal might erupt, they rev up their propaganda machine up to full speed.

5. Maybe so. They have to shout louder and louder.

And talk about tabloid news more, of course.

4. Feeding the monkeys.

FAUX is "news" for the true believers. The only way to hold on to their viewers is to give them what they want.

6. After the Al Franken "fair and balanced" fiasco

maybe they realized that no one was being fooled (except maybe themselves).
