1. Too much Benghazi and Obamacare to cover

Pickled pig jowls Ailes probably made sure no one spoke about his golden boy Christie.

[arthritisR_US]

2. Wow, they sure make themselves obvious. nt

[Atman]

12. The trouble is, it isn't obvious to their viewers.

Fox viewers will watch/believe NOTHING else. Literally every other news outlet is "lamestream media" in the back pocket of Obama. Every one. The only other people they'll listen to are Rush and Drudge and Glenn Beck, or anyone who has falls in line with Fox.

[arthritisR_US]

14. They really do live in a bubble...

[Boomerproud]

34. It's been that way since cable news came into being.

Everyone watches the news that reflects their belief system. We on DU have expressed our anger at CNN/MSNBC and the 3 networks for constantly playing down the middle (aka "Everyone does it...&quot but Fox has never been condemned for being "too conservative" by the Freepers. That's the difference between us and them.

[mostlyconfused]

45. Did you mean to say..

That we on DU have never (or have?) expressed our anger at MSNBC for being "too liberal"? That would appear to be the parallel to the Freepers calling Fox "too conservative", wouldn't it?

[Shoulders of Giants]

3. Fox News knew that as of Tuesday, he was their best chance of winning.

I'm guessing they figured if they didn't talk about the scandle, the scandle goes away.

[TeamPooka]

23. scandal

[Shoulders of Giants]

26. ...

[TeamPooka]

27. welcome to DU. We don't casually throw the term "Nazi" around here.

It often gets you blocked and/or banned.

PS it wasn't the grammar police it was the spelling police.
Get your facts right noob.

[Shoulders of Giants]

28. That's Grammar Nazi not Nazi. Its Completely Different

And he has a dictionary, which makes him in charge of spelling as well. I bet you are real fun to have over for dinner, aren't you?

[TeamPooka]

36. enjoy your brief stay at DU.

[A Simple Game]

33. Welcome to DU, I like your graphic.

Don't let some here get you down, some just hate new posters or just try to groom them to their way of thinking. Most are on the conservative side, pay no attention to them.

[pam4water]

39. 'Steels' ur pic XD

[PatSeg]

40. I stole your pix as well

Very clever and appropriate.

Welcome to DU!

4. Limbaugh: Fox "Is Probably -- It's Safe To Say -- In The Christie Camp"

[Beartracks]

42. Is he being dismissive that Fox supports a guy who <gasp> hugged Obama??!!

Just curious. Out of context, I can't really tell what El Rushbo is getting at.



====================

5. This story was broken and exposed by Maddow/MSNBC.

CNN is trying to play catch-up, but Fox is trying to downplay a rival's victory.

The power of Maddow.......

[Tx4obama]

6. Local reporter and Maddow...

It all started when a 'local' reporter started digging and didn't let up on the story, then Maddow started reporting about it on TV before everyone else did.

SIX segments regarding Christie from Maddow's show last night, January 8th, here: http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show
There is a segment in there with Maddow and the local reporter.

p.s. The first one will load and the rest will play automatically.

[Cali_Democrat]

7. Go Maddow!

[Cofitachequi]

8. thanks

[Kingofalldems]

16. What is the award for TV journalism?

She should win it hands down.

[Tx4obama]

17. I think there are several...

I think the probably the biggest one to win would be the The Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting: http://www.pulitzer.org/citation/2013-Investigative-Reporting
http://www.pulitzer.org/awards/2013


Here is a LIST of the awards/honors Maddow has received so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_maddow#Honors_and_awards


And...

12 Reasons Rachel Maddow is Every Liberals Hero

For 5 years in a row now, Maddow’s MSNBC show was the only cable news show to be nominated for a Television Critics Association award in the Outstanding Achievement in News and Information category

[CTyankee]

44. Oh, that uppity WOMAN!

[Enthusiast]

9. Do not forget the TPP fast track.

[JoePhilly]

11. YUP ... Christie closed the bridge to divert attention from TPP.

[HughBeaumont]

10. Surprisingly, CNBC covered his "apology" for a great chunk.

Must've been a slow news day in the poor-stomping world.

[Historic NY]

13. FOX NEWS, fairly unbalanced.

[Stuart G]

15. Do you suppose this will be shown on Fox News SHIT???

[Cha]

18. Has fox put a (D) after Christie's name yet?

[TeamPooka]

22. I was wondering when they were going to call him a Dem too. After he's convicted... nt

[SmittynMo]

19. One of their "good ole boys" was busted,

and they saw no reason to cover bad news, since it was against the GOP. Gee, maybe FAUX news really is the GOP, hiding behind a cable news channel. LOL. Hell I knew that years ago, and some people are just now reporting it as a possibility. Yet one more reason NOT to listen to the idiots at FAUX. Not FAIR, and BALANCED to the extreme right. Go as far right has you can imagine.

And I have to agree with the NY mayor. How could Christie not have known there was no traffic study going on? I would think that information would have been known the day after they opened up the bridge again. And it took 4 months to get to the bottom of this? I tell you why. He's lying.

Ba bye Christie, you're toast in 2016.

[Gary 50]

20. If Obama...

If Obama and his people were the ones accused of shutting down the bridge for political purposes would Fox give it less than 15 minutes air time? I'm sure they would because they are so fair and balanced. Did Fox ever mention the Benghazi or IRS "scandals"? I'm not sure since I only watch the lamestream media.

[7962]

21. Dont know about Wed, but I was in a doc office Thurs and thats all they were talking about on Fox

As I sat in their waiting room, one of their 2 TVs had fox on and Geraldo was raising hell about it for quite some time.
Then I got my earwax flushed..........

[Rex]

24. GOPnews protects their party from exposure, that is what Hannity and Blow Hole

make millions of dollars for! I believe Foxnews to be the first ever politically leaning news outlet to exist (here in America). It is like Free Republic on cable TV.

[Tx4obama]

25. Jeff Zucker (CNN) at TCA: Fox News Is 'Republican Party' 'Masquerading as a Cable News Channel'

[Boomerproud]

35. You're correct Jeff-so quit trying to emulate them.

n/t

[spanone]

29. what do you expect?....bad republican news breaks, faux exonerates, next!!!!!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. This does not include the time that Fox spent ...

... discussing the fact that Liberal Media were spending more time on Christie than they spent on Benghazi.

Much discussion on the bias of Liberal Media.

It was like "Fox Meta".

[lpbk2713]

31. It wouldn't surprise me if CBS was a lot like Faux.

... given that they are unabashedly turning to the right.

[Kingofalldems]

32. Kick and Rec all Christie GWB threads.

[blkmusclmachine]

37. Let me guess ===> Christie (D)

[Beartracks]

43. Of course! He touched Obama, so he obviously caught... the Big (D).

=================

[Beartracks]

41. Facts be damned! It's just a leftist witchhunt to keep Benghazi out of the news!!1! n/t

<-- if necessary

[DeSwiss]

46. Where are the Fukushima graphs? n/t

[El_Johns]

47. How much time devoted to the WV spill?
