NOTE TO DEMOCRATS! Stop Talking To Fox Reporters. PERIOD.

Jesse Jackson, did you really need to learn this painful lesson? Again?

CHICAGO - The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for comments he made about Barack Obama's speeches in black churches during what he thought was a private conversation with a reporter.

Jackson told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday that his comments made Sunday were in response to a question from a Fox News reporter about speeches on morality the Democratic presidential candidate has given at black churches.

The civil rights leader said Wednesday he felt there were other important issues to be addressed in the black community, such as unemployment, the mortgage crisis and the number of blacks in prison.

Jackson told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he doesn't remember exactly what he said Sunday but that he was "very sorry" for his comments about Obama. He called his comments "a side light in a broader conversation about urban disparities."

Fox News Reporters SHOULD NEVER EVEN BE ACKNOWLEDGED, let alone trusted with off-the-record comments. COME ON ALREADY!

1. Democrats Are Too Stupid For That

While you would NEVER catch a repub watching Countdown, there are still plenty of DUers who watch FAUX, on a daily basis.

Got to see what the other side is saying, after all.

You would never catch me watching Faux for even 2 seconds. If I was actually able to delete the channel from my cable listing, I would.

Why any self respecting Liberal would go anywhere near Faux, is beyond me. There are plenty of Stupid Democrats though, so I guess there's no surprise there.

3. I used to watch Faux on occassion

for exactly that reason - to see what kinda shit they were saying - HOWEVER - there is obviously a way they can track their viewership and Bill O'Lielly pleading with his audience that if they can't watch - please DVR - so now - I NEVER watch them and tell friends & family members that all they are getting is lies - so if they want to remain ill-informed and uninformed - than that's the station they need to watch. Otherwise if you really want the news, watch Keith Olbermann.

And, as an aside - this morning watching C-SPAN, a caller called in & said - I listen to Rush Limbaugh in the morning and then I listen to Sean Hannity and then Bill O'Rielly. I get the facts, I know what's going on - and I can't believe all these other people buying into the propaganda and lies from liberal TV.

Not a quote - but very very close. Its just really sad, and pathetic. But I knew someone just like this.

6. My wingnut neighbor watches Countdown religiously...

"to see what the other side is saying, after all."

"Stupid Democrats"? Impressive.

[TNOE]

7. I'm surprised then that he hasn't learned something

its hard not to. Faux on the other hand? You are just completely and totally misinformed and lied to.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. He's a she...

and they have to be open to learning... there's the rub. They have their own belief system and FUX feeds it.

I will say that something is getting through to her -- she now sends e-mails with the "save a tree" sig line, recycles like a fiend, no longer shops at Wal-mart, and even yelled at a behemoth SUV for excessive fuel consumption.

9. I've NEVER Met A Repub Who Will Watch Countdown

The only repubs I know, make fun of Mr. Olbermann, and would not "waste" their time watching his show.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

12. They make fun of him because he's so far superior to anyone on FUX.

That's all they've got -- making fun of and picking on people. They can't argue on the merits. They're like junior high schoolers who haven't grown up.

2. Absolutely - nothing good will come of it, that's for sure.

[Frustratedlady]

4. Good idea. Maybe if they are shut out from getting info, they will change.

Well, we can dream, can't we? How anyone can watch more than a minute of that station is beyond me. Shudder!

[KharmaTrain]

5. The Circus Is Back In Town...

Now the other day Senator Obama announced he wanted to repeal the '05 bankruptcy sell-out...a bill that has cost millions billions of their hard-earned dollars and too many their homes. Now did we get any coverage of this by the "Best political reporters (sic) on television"? (cue the crickets)

Then there's Gramps latest stupid remarks about Social Security and where is Wolfie? Where's that big "breaking news" banner?

Or how about more revelations of corruption by this regime...the "booshed" segment on Countdown overflows every night with yet another new scandal, but be assured Wolfie hasn't heard about it.

But ooooooh the outrage, Jesse Jackson...a favorite media target has done it again. Wolfie was all but orgasming over how "incindiary" the remarks were and how they were "sooooooo bad" he couldn't say them. Kinda like the first grade teacher admonishing the class but not explaining what for.

And, of course, Faux has the "exclusive" and are trying to milk it for all the hate and ratings they can. CNN is playing the tool...as the bigots and Obama haters and other gawkers are sure to run over to that video roadkill to get off on their mutual orgasm. O'Reilly's gotta be all warm and fuzzy right this moment...this is the biggest thing that's happened to him in a long time. I'll bet he already has the table at Sylvia's reserved for the after party.

And this is sure to be a 2 news cycle story as Wolfie and the others will NEED to hear Jesse's story or mea culpa or whatever and that won't be enough. Just listen to the code going on here. It's pathetic.

One thing for certain...tonight I'll be watching the White Sox and tuned out of this shit. I've had enough for one day anyway.

8. Fox has reporters? Who knew?

Are we calling all shills "reporters" now?

[ben_meyers]

10. I've always thought Jesse was a self-promoting fool

and this only confirms it. This is the oldest dodge in the PR book. Oh, I was misquoted or that was off the record or I thought I was having a "private" conversation with a MEMBER OF THE NEWS MEDIA.

Come on Jesse, you can do better than that. Your jealousy at being overshadowed by a better man is just embarrassing.
