Fox --- "Now it's a circus"
Carl Cameron reporting on Fake News Network.

Bringing up all the RW talking points. Saying that what started as a lone woman's poignant vigil is now a "circus" and media spectacle, along with MoveOn, Code Pink, etc.

Amazing to see how they morph the RW talking points into "straight news report." They even brought up the family letter.

1. People quietly chanting and holding up signs is a circus, but
the people flalling about on the ground and disturbing hospice patients during the Terri Schiavo incident wasn't?

Good God!

If Sheehan were a pro-Bush mother, Hannity would be jetting down there to commiserate with her.

5. Can you imagine the kind of skewed logic ...
... that would allow someone to think that way?

19. Oh no, that was a "vigil"
at least according to Faux. Please. Fair and balanced? My ass. I hope I live long enough to see Fox exposed for what they are: partisan hacks.

I just love that Jesus on a trailer hitch.
Irreverence at its pinnacle.

18. It's a 1st amendment rigth to block abortion clinics
but US citizens aren't allowed within five miles of Bush.

8. Oh, like the Terri Schaivo shindig wasn't a Ringling Bros. production!
C'mon, Faux, you can't have it both ways. Of course, that's your stock-in-trade, being the BushCo Channel and all. :grr:

for what they are.

13. It's a circus now?
Does that mean that Fox has at last sent in their clowns?

My goodness, this is certainly causing these frauds a lot of discomfort! And all over a simple question: What is the "noble cause" that Casey Sheehan died for?

14. BUT JESUS ON A TRAILER HITCH WAS PURE NEWS.
And not a Circus anywhere near the Hospice where lots of other people were slowly dying and wanting Peace.

Schiavo vs Cindy. What an absolute no brainer. One is obscene, one is Just.

15. Do they have anything new on the runaway bride?
They go berserk over crap like Michael Jackson and then have the nerve to call a sincere anti-war protest a circus.

20. FOX TV

Make way for the next sensation
Factual Manipulation
Stay tuned for the next creation
Department of misinformation
Arrogance that makes you shiver
Ignorance and we deliver
If truth doesn't count fo something
I choose to believe in nothing
It's primetime for the middle class
You don't like it shove it up your ass
Fair and balanced prejury
And it's all on Fox TV
Delusion will rule day in this society
Intellectual property in bankruptcy
And you can't escape
We've been sold out we can get out
Lies sold tragedy all on your TV
Fabricated Journalism
Junk News and Jingoism
Media's our new religion
The pulpit is your television
Got news and we're comin' at ya
Network TV propaganda
Our credibility is degrading
We're patriots for Nielsen ratings



Courtesy, Pennywise

21. "Bozo makes people laugh, Bush makes people cry"
Bill Clinton was eerily correct in that one.

22. In Outfoxed, you could see cameron talk with * before the interview.
Turns out, cameron's sister (or wife) was working on the * campaign.

Wow. No blurred line there.
