Fox News tries to whitewash the record.

Fox News tries to whitewash the record.
Newshounds reports that “the editors at FOXNews.com ignored 145 articles listed in a Google search that objectively told of the decision by Nevada Democrats to cancel a Democratic presidential candidate debate.” Instead, FoxNews.com highlighted an editorial from the Las Vegas Review Journal that condemned the decision, claiming the “lunatic fringe” is in charge.

March 11th, 2007 at 1:08 amThe lunatic fringe is running faux noose.
March 11th, 2007 at 1:09 amFaux news doesn’t report the news, they spread disinfo or the un-news as I like to look at it.
The worlds exploding around us, but we can only talk about Anna Nicole Smith and show the same 30 second reel of her squeezing her boobs together for about 2 months straight.
God help us…
March 11th, 2007 at 1:10 amWhat’s it matter? They’re simply lying to the old Republicans and stupid conservative southerners who watch Fox. Those viewers won’t vote for Democrats ever because they are too stubborn, or too far gone to learn any better.
March 11th, 2007 at 1:13 amThat “lunatic fringe” of the Left comprises of almost 72% of the American population. The remaining 28%, the “sane centrists” who know and understand everything, still believe that it was Saddam who ordered the 9/11 attacks on America. Why? Because they have Faith, that’s why.
War is Peace. Killing is Liberating. Occupation is Freedom. An election held and conducted by an occupier are “free and fair” democratic elections. Fox is Fair & Balanced….
Thanks, but no thanks. I think I will take my chances with the “lunatics”.
March 11th, 2007 at 1:33 amYou administrators at T.P. must be reading the Rude Pundit too.
He’s been ripping Fox ‘news’ a new one for a while now.

Well put,Abby.
March 11th, 2007 at 1:35 amSorry folks,let me try that link again:

March 11th, 2007 at 1:45 amHeck,I’m not too good at this link thing.
March 11th, 2007 at 1:53 amHey Barfly,maybe I’m not Rachel after all.
Sure is tough to engage in the standard M.O. of muddying the waters when people don’t play along.
Wingnuts have spent the better part of the last four decades trying to confuse people as to what amounts to a legitimate, well-thought-out and factual position and what is farcical. Too bad for them their little game is coming to an end.
It will still take work, and it won’t get done tomorrow. Nonetheless, it is becoming possible to visualize a time when wingnuts are once again marginalized as the extreme, out-of-touch curiosities they once were.
March 11th, 2007 at 3:02 amLabeling is so very not needed. I myself am tired of the different sides labeling each other in an unflattering manner. Let’s kick it up a knotch fellah’s and be respectful towards one another. This division in America isnt a one sided thing.
March 11th, 2007 at 5:17 amheres a story for fox
Sunni group hits new oil law
A leading Sunni group, the Muslim Scholars Association – which is close to Iraq’s resistance groups – has strongly attacked the new Iraqi oil law:
The Muslim Scholars Association, a leading Sunni clerics group accused by the Iraqi government of fomenting violence, said the law as drafted was “invalid and lacks legitimacy.â€
“The occupation forces have been rushing to pass such a law in a way that the rights of generations of Iraqis will sold,” the group said in a statement, adding that U.S. and British forces had “hidden their intentions for many years.â€
“The Americans backed by the British occupation forces have started to reveal their greed for Iraq’s oil wealth,” it said.
March 11th, 2007 at 6:23 amIs that wacky Mary Matalin still submitting their talking points?
March 11th, 2007 at 7:23 amOnly wondering aloud, as this delusional, stupid remark smacks of her input.
troll alert, how about this one?
Be forewarned, rude pundit is not kidding – lots of rude language, but if you’r still reading here, you probably don’t mind that.
This is not a permalink to an article, it just takes you to the home page; right now, the second article down is about Fox News, and if you browse on through the site you will find more about the right-wing noise machine.
March 11th, 2007 at 7:52 amYes indeed lunatic fringe.
The mainstream are God fearing folk who take “One nation under God” seriousely

Hundreds of producers, researchers unleashed on all of these candidates. Here’s hoping all of them have not a single skeleton it their closets. Looking back, this will be viewed a stupid move on the part of Edwards, Richardson et al.
March 11th, 2007 at 9:18 amtroll alert, how about this one?

Ah,that works,thanks chartreuse;I love me my ‘rude pundit’.
March 11th, 2007 at 9:41 am#17- Allo, Ducky. Feeling up to a little FOX hunting? I bloody well am! Pip, pip, cheery-o!
March 11th, 2007 at 9:43 amI don’t mean to be insulting and this is off topic but I’m wondering if the editors of TP could use another eye in editing/correcting text.
This is a protion of the above article “claiming the “lunatic fringe†in is charge.” obviously what was intended was “is in charge”. It may seem
picayune but I see these mistakes quite often and it gives the impression that these “articles” are slapped together in haste.
Really, I’m sincerely not being difficult and I really appreciate all that this site does but if you need some help send me an e-mail.
March 11th, 2007 at 10:06 amHey,I just noticed we’re still on standard time around here.
March 11th, 2007 at 10:09 amC’mon T.P.,snap to.
Liberals are cowards.

Thank you,

Faux News – We Report, You Decide
Faux News – Fair and Balanced
Lunatic fringe indeed.
March 11th, 2007 at 11:05 amHaving just finished the Sunday edition of the Las Vegas review Journal by ignoring Coulter’s column and most everything else except the SUN Section (The LVRJ and LV Sun merged a few months ago with the Sun maintaining its center/left position is a separate section) I understand the Faux pukes glomming onto the Editorial. They chose to ignore all the other reasoned articles in the same paper.
March 11th, 2007 at 11:32 amYup, just like when they reported “Scooter Libby Innocent of Obstructing Justice” but then failing to mention he was found GUILTY of 5 of 6 charges!
March 11th, 2007 at 11:47 ambut then failing to mention he was found GUILTY of 5 of 6 charges!
Comment by zippy
Make that GUILTY of 4 of 5,my man.
March 11th, 2007 at 12:03 pmBut yes,they did run a banner saying Libby was innocent.
These folks are nothing more than the rnc tv. fnc=rnc…….Thank God all together millions more watch other sources for news. Not to mention the internets. See, righties like phil-o don’t unnderstand that Olbermann does not represent the entire NBC network. It’s his OWN opinion. fnc-rnc is totally dedicated to spewing rightwing and whitehouse propaganda ALL DAY LONG.
March 11th, 2007 at 3:06 pmFOX(tm) IS the LUNATIC FRINGE, no doubt about it!!!!! That ILLEGAL ALIEN Rupert Murdoch, WHOSE VISA HAS LONG EXPIRED, IS A LOON OF THE FIRST ORDER as is Roger Ailes, THAT FAT TUB OF LARD and Murdoch’s BUTT-BOY!!!!!
March 11th, 2007 at 3:36 pmHeck,I’m not too good at this link thing.
Hey Barfly,maybe I’m not Rachel after all.
Comment by troll alert — March
Nice try, old girl. But I know it’s you. Stange how suddenly you’re so busy posting after i revealed your true identity. It will work on the rubes, but we both know who you are. But now that I’ve given posters here the warning, if they continue on conversing with you, I’ll just laugh and keep my mouth shut. Caveat emptor.
March 11th, 2007 at 3:46 pmBarfly,in my book,you’re officially an idiot now.
March 11th, 2007 at 6:27 pmYes,Rachel hi-jacked my name a few times,but I’m not him/her.
Zooey tried to tell you that on the Eaton thread,but I guess you were too busy drinking to notice.
