Anybody know this "Big Story" FAUX News is going to break? |
|
I caught a snippet of Bill O'Reilly. I was bored, so sue me! Anyway, he had some author on pumping his book "The Connection". Judging from the cover it outlines, or attempts to outline, a Saddam/Al Queda connection. Sorry, I didn't get his name. O'Reilly made a comment that FAUX is going to break a 'Big Story' tomorrow. I assume it may be about some sort of Saddam/Al Queda connection, but such stories have come up before and all of them have been discredited or fallen flat.
Take from the source, FAUX that is, whatever you will. I've found that NOT watching FAUX, CNN, or CNBC and sticking to newspapers is better.
Anyone have any clues or insights as to what Roger Ailes is going to ram down our throats tomorrow?

6. If this is the story that was |
|
thrown all over a couple of months ago by the "WEEKLY STANDARD", about a Saddam-Al Queda connection, then they truly are nuts. It was supposedly a leaked memo (?) from the DOD, and it was debunked by the DOD. (If I am remembering correctly.) Is this their big story?

things have gone to HELL in Iraq so now they have to make up shit to support why the f*** we ever went there. It is beyond sad and more than a little pathetic.

I just made an assumption based on the context of the conversation that 'Bill the Liar' and 'National Review' propagandinst were having. It stood to reason that maybe the 'Big Story' might be something along those lines.

11. Fox, the author, the publishers are all on the same payroll. Does Fox care |
|
Does Fox "disclose" who is paying the bills for the authors on their shows?
They cry when other shows don't, but does Fox clearly state who is paying the authors they have on their shows?
I doubt it.

14. Does such a glaring detail even matter to 'FAUX'? |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 11:44 PM by freethought
Probably not. Like I said, I don't watch 'FAUX' if can help it. I even get into arguments with my father that he shouldn't watch the crap they shovel.
