Wow, so Faux isn't even hiding it anymore are they?
Just saw one of their little teasers for tonight's primetime shows and for their Greta ad, the voiceover announcer man said "Young. Pretty. Missing." and showed an attractive young white lady that's apparently missing. How can people say that this network is actually news?

1. Well, they didn't say "white." So they've got that going for them.

3. They are definitely in the business of dumbing down America
so that thieves like George Bush and Dick Cheney can continue to rape and pillage the country and the idiots will keep pulling the lever for them.

5. It isn't news
When the National Enquirer becomes more news then you then that's pretty bad.

7. DUers used to say as soon as bush's numbers got low
enough, they'd trot out Osama and give them a boost. Maybe they are waiting to trot out Natalie Hollowell. She's been locked in the Oval Office closet this whole time!

8. I'd guess this is a subtle poke
at an "ism" they helped create.

Kinda like saying, "Oh, look — another one. Yeah, we know we feed our own beast, but we also know you'll watch."

11. probably too paranoid but what if *'s handlers decided that
they needed a missing white girl and took matters into their own hands. As I said probably too paranoid but still...you have to wonder what desperate people who are already guilty as sin will do.

14. The National Enquirer is considered a valid news source on these boards
so the definition of "news" is very loose to say the least.
