HOLY CRAP!!! I just watched Faux News and....

[leftyandproud]

They seem to be TURNING on Dubya!

After some talk of him attending a fundraiser, they reported that the number of deaths after his "victory" speech have exceeded combat deaths. They broke it down with stats on the screen that any dumbazz Faux viewer could see...

THEN, they reported that Israel killed an elderly man today and wounded 20 others in a strike against a car carrying a Hamas leader. The Hamas guys got away and a civilian was killed..

two negatives for the dumbya administration...top stories in the primetime on Faux....I've never watched the channel before but what I saw looked pretty damn good for us. Are they actually turning on him?? Anyone else see it?

[leftyandproud]

1. OH MY GOD!!!!!!...

They just showed some excellent comments by Carol Mosely Brawn...THEN Brit Hume came back on and says "The Congressional Budget Office is forcasting a RECORD BUDGET DEFICIT this year..."

it's on a commercial now..

Jesus...I couldn't have written it better tonight!!!

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. OMG!!!!

They're reporting actual NEWS? Who woulda thought?

[AP]

3. Don't worry. They're plotting something.

They won't be turning on anybody who promises to make them money.

[papau]

25. Saw that - but Brit went back to whore tearing Clark because

Clark said Bush Admin did the "please lie about Iraq and 9/11 for us" phone call, and Clark will not say who phoned - and the Bush admin denies - so Brit says Clark is a wild nut off the ranch - until - per Britt - Clark says who called.

I mean - it was those words - no attempt to do other than a RW editorial for Roger Ailes.

Sorry, Fox does not hire real journalists

[kentuck]

4. Yeah George, you'd better get some of that $200 million over here or.....

we can make it rough on you. We are in business, you know, and isn't it about time you spend some of that campaign ad money you been collecting in wheelbarrows??

[Ilsa]

5. Maybe the record deficits

are starting to eat at their bottom line? Are interest rates going up that fast? Is Fox and Murdoch in hock? I can't imagine any reason for them to turn on Whistle Ass unless their dividends are shrinking.

[cprise]

6. It's like watching the Exorcist

Glimmers of sanity and innocent "mommy help us", but most of the time it's backward talking-heads and pea soup in the face!

Perhaps Murdoch and Co are going to be on their best behavior here while they try to deep-six the BBC.

[leftyandproud]

11. wow.

I must say, thats an excellent analogy ;)

[kanrok]

21. LOL

I'd love to see the words: "HELP ME" start scratching themselves into Brit Hume's forehead while he's pontificating.
:evilgrin: :puke:

[cybildisobedience]

29. here, here

I love a good analogy.

[Occulus]

7. Faux News

is what we call here a "fair weather friend".

'Nuff said.

[w4rma]

8. It's pretty amazing when they actually report the news, eh?

It happens so rarely on that network.

[samsingh]

9. it's a pathetic state of affairs

when a 'news' program actually reports 'news' makes the news

[Must_B_Free]

10. When is someone going to Snip old Rupert's balls off

That will be a joyous day. That fucker is one of the people most to blame for this walking attrocity of a mis-administration. Now he thinks he's going to take on the BBC? He's ALREADY lost that one.

These uppity fucks got a little too big for their britches and now they're GOING DOWN!

Go To JAIL! Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. Blowback?

From the Franken debacle? It ain't easy being the butt of a National joke.

[treefrogjohn]

13. Two for you. One Hundred for me.

They're probably throwing out a couple of these so they can try and justify "fair and balanced." You know, "See, See, we aren't always whores!"

[stickdog]

14. Three Words: Liberal Media Bias

This episode is for the Franken trial.

[Bake]

15. This is just news. We'll see what happens

When their standard bearers, O'Really and Hannity, take over. You won't hear JACK about any of this. They'll be talking about how great it's going in Iraq, how great the economy is, etc.

That's what the Faux Faithful are waiting for anyway.

Bake

[leftyandproud]

16. to be fair..

I don't think Oreilly/Hannity N Colmes, etc qualify as NEWS shows...They are obviously based on opinion...like crossfire on CNN

[Bake]

22. That was my point exactly.

Faux "News" doesn't give a rip about the NEWS, and neither do its rabid cultmembers. They're waiting for the OPINION shows, for O'Really and CabanaBoy to tell them what they're SUPPOSED to think.

[newsguyatl]

17. please don't be fooled...

faux will NEVER turn on dubya... it's just that the news is so bad lately for the cabal, faux has its back against the wall and is doing the unthinkable (for them) --> actually reporting what's happening... on a slow news cycle...


so again, please don't be fooled. that's important. faux news is an arm of the bush administration, they will NEVER turn on him. period.

[never cry wolf]

18. Maybe all the head shits are on vacation. eom

[robbedvoter]

19. Ha!ha! Hanging on to the trademark as for dear life

Too bad we changed it already (thanks to Conason and MWO):

[leftyandproud]

28. hey

I like your icon ;)

[eileen from OH]

20. Don't forget they are the ultimate media whores. . .

Even above their "conservative" bias, they will go where the drama/conflict/ratings are. Even if they have to eat their own to do it.

23. Just getting the republican congressmen back into line on FCC ruling

This is totally predictable. I'm surprised it hadn't happenned sooner. Expect this to happen maybe once a week until the republican's in congress get back in line on the FCC ruling. This IS about the bottom line for Rupert, Inc.

[newyawker99]

27. Hi jwcomer!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[MissMarple]

24. It's August. There is no real product to sell until September.

But then, maybe they're just one of the first of the bottomfeeders to get a whiff of a fresh current.

[roguevalley]

26. Murdoch is a wack job but he's more interested in money.

I think he would print liberal if there was any
assured money in it. I remember reading an article
about his newspaper empire and even though he is
hard on his editors, he doesn't interfere with the
real papers he owns, just the boutique crap he
prints like that New York Post or whichever one it
is.

Interesting. He will compromise the pov for money.

[fob]

30. Well that's good news for you LAP, that means you are able to

see through the lies. That version you describe is only visible/audible to L'Resistance! The morans got the cute and cuddly version in their homes.

bush* are a national disgrace!
