1. They reaally don't...

Try to hide it anymore, do they?

That's OK for now. The nature of pendulums is to swing.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. And right-wingers still

believe they are "fair and balanced." LOL! I laugh everytime one says that. :eyes:

[burythehatchet]

14. ...and the farther it swings one way....

2. Recent History of Republican Booing at SOTU

It may be breaking protocol, but it's not just a Democrat thing, now is it?

"A Fact Sheet on Booing at the SOTU" (BuzzFlash News Alert)


http://www.buzzflash.com/alerts/05/02/ale05027.html
(1997 info included at link)

<snip>
1998: Republicans Booed Clinton's Medicare Proposal Clinton's health-care initiatives, chiefly in the form of a medical bill of rights, found support on both sides, especially his attack on managed-care health-care plans. ... Clinton's proposal to expand Medicare to allow Americans as young as 55 to buy into the system drew shouts of "no" and some boos from Republicans during his speech.

1997: Republican's Booed Clinton's Opposition to the Balanced Budget Amendment The Republican response was far warmer than perhaps any of Clinton's previous four State of the Union speeches. Time after time, Republicans jumped to their feet to join Democrats in applauding the president. Only once did they unmistakably and collectively show their disapproval--when Clinton spoke disparagingly of a GOP-sponsored constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Many Republicans hissed and some booed.

1995: Republicans Booed Clinton and Walked Out During Speech. The upheaval wrought by the Republican election landslide was visible throughout the president's State of the Union address - from the moment Speaker Newt Gingrich took the gavel to the striking silence that often greeted Clinton from the GOP. At one point, Republicans even booed. About 20 of them left as Clinton went on and on for an hour and 20 minutes.

6. Lets all send this to FoX NOW!! thanks

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Talk about being immature

Boy the republicans love to whine about being rude and things like that when they're the one's who were rude. Has any democrat ever walked out of a republican President speech? What cry babies!

[LittleClarkie]

23. Not to mention 1/5/2005

when they booed John Kerry as he walked out, doing his job and trying to be gracious.

Who called Fox the commentary channel? That's about it. I can't believe some folks only get their news from there.

[Mojambo]

3. Please don't refer to them as newscasters

Cable whore is a much more accurate description.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

19. "Propaganda Purveyors" Fox News n/t

.

[Cha]

4. I just posted on another thread that

faux viewers are "brain dead".

[Spiked_Lemon]

5. If you are outraged now...

just wait until you hear CNN say the same thing. Same animal. All of them kissing up to the newly crowned Emperor.:grr:

[rodeodance]

8. FOX News Live, [e-mail] --an email address

[w4rma]

25. Don't email FOX news. They'll just re-spin it. Email everyone *else* (nt)

[WindRavenX]

7. I just read that they added a laugh track during a clip of *'s SOTU speech

Because *'s "joke" fell flat, the whores at FOX added a laugh track to make it appear like he brought the house down; my boyfriend said that this makes FOX stand to lose their FCC license (which we all know they WON'T).
They're whores of the highest order.

[rodeodance]

9. I just emailed them and told them "know your history before you report"

[rodeodance]

10. they added a laugh track--well I do hope the laugh is on them!!

[FreedomAngel82]

13. Boy

Anything to make Bush look good. It's things like this that really just piss me off.

[AntiCoup2K4]

17. A laugh track?? On a goddamned NEWS network??

How pathetic can these corporatist-fascists get?

[WindRavenX]

18. uhhh...

....maybe it's best not to contemplate how far they would go to spread *'s message. See "OutFoxed". It is truly disturbing to think that FOX news is considered "news"

[aquart]

15. You mean like the Republicans broke with protocol

and campaigned against Daschle?

[fooj]

16. They've got nothing positive to spew about "The Chosen One" so

they go on the offensive and attack! Typical bully tactics. Deflect attention...They are nothing but a bunch of fucking cowards! Excuse my language!

[Disturbed]

20. Adding a laugh track?

That seems like fraud. Any Attorneys here that could file a law suit against Faux News?

[fooj]

21. What the hell? A laugh track? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They mean their "MOCKERY TRACK", right? They don't laugh...they mock, criticize and demean. Why don't they call it what it is? Oh, I forgot! They don't do that... They are cowards. Pure and
Simple!

[Coltrane]
