Faux and Friends
Dont know the name of the female reporter, but boy was she sucking up to Cheney, she said "I love the guy, he is so honest" She went on about how great he is.

Then she said all the talk of Censure for Bush*t it just dirty politics by the democrats and they are just getting back at the republicans for the Clinton impeachment.

They then showed show, pictures from a new book of soliders in Iraq, enjoying themselves, watching Fox news, having a grand old time.

They topped off the show by advertising a piece on the violence images from Iraq and how they dont tell the real story.

"i have just one question, do Faux reporters actaully believe the lies they tell, or are they just whores?"

13. She was a moran here in Pittsburgh too. That was when she was
plain ol' Edie Tarbox, back in the 80's, I think. She was a news anchor for the local NBC affiliate.

6. Isn't she the twit during the O'Really/Olbermann call
who agreed with the Big Giant Head and said "that's fair" about sicking the F-Word security squad on the caller who mentioned KO?

7. Fox isn't a news channel........
it's a propaganda channel. It caters to the Reich-Wing and it's sole purpose is to prop up the flagging bush administration. They're the video version of rush limbaugh.

I watched the old movie, "Network" last night. If "FUX and Friends" isn't straight from that movie I'll eat my hat. Corporate whores with only one thing on their minds: profits. They'll lie, cheat, steal.....anything they have to do for ratings and profits. There's nothing real about FUX News at all.

9. absolutelt propaganda as a whole BUT do most of these tools
KNOW they're tools or....HOW does that work, I wonder on an individual level, does Shepard Smith know? I'm sure ppl like Brit Hume & the horrifying fetal-looking Carl Cameron MUST'VE known when he was slicing & dicing Kerry.....but what of the others.. do they suspect? do they care? ..HTF do they sleep at night??!! (whew! near rant averted) or was it?

10. This is amazing reading
I swear your post -- down to the last paragraph perhaps -- could be straight out of some dystopian novel, like 1984 for example.

It's uncanny. Who'd ever have thought a collection of comments like that would EVER be simply a set of observations about an unofficial propaganda arm of a fascist government in America c. 2006.

(Where'd I leave my REAL world, and the REAL universe it belonged in?? Hmmm? Someone help me out here. I wanna go back.)

11. When I read 1984 in the sixties it seemed pretty farfetched
I must have suffered from a lack of imagination in my youth.

21. They're actors, not journalists by any definition of the word. Phonies.
I don't think they care about the script.

22. I think they're picked from Community College drama departments
They're not journalists and their acting sucks. It's more sad than anything.
