Wanna learn about Faux News dems?

Read the last three Daily Howlers. The Howler completely exposes Tammy Bruce, a Faux "news contributor" who always makes a big deal pointing out she's a progressive and a Dem, but then starts ripping Dems left and right - reciting winger talking points verbatim. It's really disgusting.

The current issue is installment #3 on Bruce, the archives have the other two issues....and a lot more excellent media analysis, really the best out there.

1. Anyone who claims they are a Dem and then agree to be a FAUX

"news contributor or anaylst" is a DINO. They lost their soul when they signed with Rupert Murdoch.

2. I know, and Susan Estrich always looks half-ways soused

whenever she's on Faux. Sometimes she looks flat out awful. Who knows, maybe she's on the Oxy too.

3. well I agree except for...

David Corn... but they don't exactly give him much airtime..

4. Allan Colmes

Saw Colmes on, i think it was c-span the other day and he believes
Fox is really fair and balanced!

5. Tammy Bruce another DINO.

Saw her on CNN ripping Hillary apart and praising Ann Coulter. She was also once the head of the LA Chapter of NOW. She claims to be a registered Democrat but wouldn't vote for Clinton or Gore. I mean really just how dumb do the Republicans think we are and what is she doing writing for the same conservative magazine Ann Coulter and Jonah Goldberg write articles for? I can't remember the name of the rag right now so don't ask. Apparently we have a lot of Trojan Horses out there. Look at what happened to AARP?

6. Faux tactics...

1: They DO have liberals of note on all the time however,
a: They have lost that "fire in the belly verbal combativeness". Easy pickings for Hannity and company.
b: And/or are fantastic,exceptional writers and thinkers BUT are absolutely lousy in front of the camera. Katrina vanden Heuvel sounds shrill. Corn looks and sounds smug and condescending. This has GOT to have been done on purpose. More easy pickings for O'Rielly and Hannity.
c: DINOs of course, but fewer than you think.

2: I was listening to NPR this morning. They had on an ex-faux staff member being interviewed. Faux, on purpose, picks VERY VERY young staff and personalities. Just out of school. And pay them VERY VERY high salaries. Pay they would never get anywhere else. They are told what management wants and let loose. They NEVER rock the boat because they will never get that pay and responsibility anywhere else. At such a young age.

They have been bought. And don't even have to be watched for what they say. They watch themselves.

Smart Eh?
