On FOX just now

[SHRED]

DISCLAIMER:
I was scrolling the channels...not watching it.

"Church's attacked, Christians killed"


They are spinning this into a "radical Islamist" uprising.
What a filthy network.

1. Unfortunately many people will fall for it. Rec'd for "filthy" n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. They shouldn't upset their Arab owners?

[Fuzz]

3. Oh yeah. FR has been doing that all week.

[grahamhgreen]

4. This will be the meme. The question is how far will Obama play along &

If he does, will he convince the conservadems to side with the dictator and not the people?

[emulatorloo]

5. Did you read his statement? He called on Mubarak to turn back on the net and cel

phones (that is how protestors are communicated), told Mubarak to not use violence against the protestors and called for reforms.

[grahamhgreen]

7. No, I saw him speak about it live, is there an unequivocal statement

Somewhere?

If he comes down on the side of the dictator, we're in a world of hurt.

[emulatorloo]

8. Seemed like pretty harsh words (in a diplomatic tone) for Mubarak

[grahamhgreen]

10. Agreed, but We all saw O claim he would stand up for a number of issues that

He let us down on, so I'm mildly hopeful, but far from convinced.

[emulatorloo]

11. I hope you are not expected Obama to invade Egypt,

[grahamhgreen]

13. Yikes! I hadn't thought of that but normally the PR merchants will wait

For a violent incident on the part o the freedom fighters to justify a crackdown.

[emulatorloo]

15. Did you see this article? Just posted . . .

Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising

[grahamhgreen]

17. Interesting. I'd hope it was true although I'd rather have us stop mucking

Around over there....

[hootinholler]

6. It doesn't matter

Well it does in the context of what sort of Pres he is. But spinning this that direction is helpful to the boys' cause.

-Hoot

[grahamhgreen]

9. It's just the beginning of the PR that will be on every network all

The time and claim the Egyptian people represent the Muslim Brotherhood, and the dictator/President is, reluctantly, who we must support to keep us safe no matter how much violence he unleashes on the people.

[emulatorloo]

12. I am afraid you are right about the PR creeping to the other networks.

I am expecting a lot of Bush-Era "experts" on middle east to be brought out by CNN etc.

[grahamhgreen]

14. Yes, they will claim that Mubarak is bad, but we MUST support him or their will be

The gravest of consequences, mushroom clouds, blah, blah, blah....

[emulatorloo]

16. Perfect work for Liz Cheney. . . . n/t

[grahamhgreen]

18. Yes, indeed. nt

[grahamhgreen]

19. Yes, indeed. nt

[leftstreet]

20. We need a Fox News Kill Switch n/t

[KT2000]

21. Yes - Bolton said today

that the Muslim Brotherhood is leading it now.
Everyone else is saying that is not the case.
I guess the RW wants to go into Egypt now.

[pinboy3niner]

22. Expect more of this to counter peaceful protests in Egypt

Demonizing Middle-Easterners, Arabs and Muslims is one of their specialties. Peaceful protests in an Arab country? Gotta ramp up the hate stories to counter it. Fux News--always predictable.

[Ron Green]

23. "Church's?" Was it Church's Chicken? Or do they mean "churches?"

[upi402]

24. Fecking jayziz, is Hannity still looking for Sadam's poison gas too?

He wouldn't let go of the batch of gas masks found and was spewing crap about Jordan... What a filthy network indeed

[Enthusiast]

25. They engage in disseminating false information 24/7.

This is the only purpose for the existence of Fox News. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Fox News was the creation of American intelligence.

[justiceischeap]

26. Apparently they hadn't heard about the Christians protecting the Muslims during prayer yesterday

It would seem they are doing their bit to rewrite history.

[Obamanaut]

27. Is it possible they are talking about the resolutions in the House/Senate

to condemn the New Year's bombings?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110128/pl_afp/uscongressegyptchristiansreligionattack_20110128145520

<snip>Key US Senator Robert Menendez has filed a resolution condemning the deadly attack committed against a Coptic Christian church on New Year's Day in Alexandria, Egypt. <more at link>

Similar resolution the the House.

[Kingofalldems]

28. Barely a peep out of them when it happened in Iraq

I wonder why? Hmmmm.

[butterfly77]

29. I am watching..

and laughing at the terror on some of their faces,as they try to find a way to blame Obama,start another war,they also seem to be worried about their stocks and the oil among other things,and who knows what else.
