Fox News Is Angry At President Obama For Telling The Truth | CrooksandLiars

"Just like that, the light went on, but for Fox and Friends, no one is still home.

Roger Ailes and his gang are miffed that Obama called out Fox News by name for their mean girl coverage of poor people. Of course, they're also in absolute denial that they're responsible for anyone and to prove it, they trotted out none other than Stuart Varney, Poor-Shamer-In-Chief.

Varney cheers when companies move their operations overseas to dodge taxes. He thinks it's awesome not to pay employees overtime pay, because God forbid they should be paid honest wages for extra work, right? For Varney, if unemployed people and their children go hungry, so be it. Are there no poorhouses? Let them die, and decrease the surplus population!"

...................

Thank you again, President Obama, removing the evil and diabolical personal media propaganda plaything of the Oligarchs and Evangelicals and Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, otherwise known as Fox, from the conversation leaves room for the adults.

When Fox is unable to use the well worn Victim Card they really do struggle with their hate and lies.

I have a simple suggestion for Fox and President Obama, just so maybe President Obama and Fox can arrive at a place of agreement and mutual respect:

Fox will stop their LIES about Obama, and Obama will stop telling the truth about Fox....

angry they are when their lies and hate and manufactured news are exposed.

"Release the hounds of truth", Mr. President, the rotting corpse of Fox is a stench the hounds will quickly find.

Jon's piece last night was a masterpiece, both against Fox and against the generally useless corporate controlled media as a whole.

I think they use Varney because his English accent gives him some distance, like (they think) a neutral third party observer. Also, he sounds a lot like Robin Leach on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous - I think that connects with their audience.

Stewart's gloves are OFF now. Much like Obama's.
