Is FOX running scared already? Seem a bit more 'fair and balanced' today
I watched them just to see what they would be saying. Not as rabid RW today. They almost choke on their own saliva trying to sound 'fair and balanced.'

1. It seems the winds of change have caught them square in the face

2. Ya Don't Think Rupert's On The Phone Again????
With OUTFOXED coming out Monday, sounds like the NewsCorruption Empire is batting down the hatches. Olbermann's shot at them last night was downright balsy!

I sure hope MoveOn or someone finds a way to get this movie on a national cable network like IFC or Bravo...so we can see this movie, tape it, copy it and blow the "credibility" of this sham of a network sky high!

4. They know they are..
under the microscope. I'm sure it will be business as usual soon enough.

10. What is this movie all about?
The only push it is getting is from Drudge. Which makes me wonder. But the guys making the film seem to be saying they have footage of Republicans colluding with Fox on producing the news. Including Bush!

5. I've noticed a distinct shift in tone and tact...
They seem to have suddenly realized they are bailing for a sinking vessel and are slowly, but surely, abandoning ship.

6. Not Having Cable TV
I would "guessetimate" they're starting to suck up to a change in the News and sources well before the election.

Of course, I could be wrong and I'm only thinking of the RW Media whores ....

7. Back Peddling
Just creating clips on a low ratings Sat to prove they can swing both ways (so to speak) in the event they need to defend themselves in the future.

What is that expression about never putting pearls before swine...or something like that

8. I was shocked they had positive things to say during N.C. Rally coverage
about how the Kerry/Edwards ticket is resonating with Democratic voters.

9. They are scared - no doubt ...
... I could not believe the ass-kicking Tony Snow took today and last night. First, last night, he had two guests who shot down his over-playing of the fundraiser. Then today Susan Estrich - who always struck me as the female alan colmes (weak as hell)- KICKED HIS ASS about the CIA report.

Carl Cameron is going to get his from the new movie OUT-FOXED, apparently they have him practically on his knees groveling before Bush. I certainly hope they play that clip during the Democratic Convention. They should work with the Daily Show people to put something together for the delgates to laugh at. As Olberman says, We report and you decide whether we lied ...
