Faux News: "This day as important as the falling of the Berlin Wall"

[Bluebear]

Referring to the Iraqi election, one of their commentators just now (counting a whole lotta chickens before they hatch) proclaimed this day as important as the Berlin Wall falling!

1. OMG

I guess they want to write history also.

[Bluebear]

3. P-r-o-p-a-g-a-n-d-a!

[neuvocat]

2. ???

Anyone care to tell me just what they were talking about?

[Bluebear]

4. Oh sorry, I will edit OP

[neuvocat]

9. Huh?

The Iraqi elections? Geez. They're so desparate to make something out of it that they're losing what little creditability they have.

5. it's pretty sad they just cut to one of the polling locations

and the poll workers were shifting the flower pots in an empty room. Then a later shot showed nobody in the room at all.

[Bluebear]

8. Maybe the flower pots get ballots nt

6. They're the Pravda of the GOP

What do you expect?

The truth?

7. Premature, but hey

At least they're fair and balanced.

BTW, I don't have cable, but I watch clips of the Daily Show on the Comedy Central website, and there's one now which shows a clip from Bush last press conference, and there's this reporter asking him a question about the economy, and he inserts the most blatant editorializing into the question, talking about Bush's critics as people who are divorced from reality or something. Does anybody know the story behind that?

See, if I ever get cable again, I think my head will explode.

11. did Fox give a reason for its importance?

[yurbud]

10. I hope it goes well, but chances slim

[Bluebear]

13. I'm with ya.

[indigonation]

12. urp

:puke:

[pretzel4gore]

14. that's exactly what a soldier in iraq was saying

cbc tv interview earlier today....'this election as important as the berlin wall falling'
man, the mindset the american people gonna have to deal with.....a stupidity so deeply ingrained must be surgically removed.....

19. Soliders talking point cards

I read a couple of weeks ago that soliders have been issued their own "talking point cards" when dealing with the media. They cannot ad lib.

[Bluebear]

23. Oh I'm sure

15. 1 hour into the elections

and FUX is already saying the elections are a success because there hasn't been any violence.

Some guy on CNN was talking about this place will have high turnout and that place will be light and you shouldn't expect a lot of people to be out at 7:00am.... yada yada yada

More surreal stuff from what some call the news media. Once again... the bizarro world has managed to surprise me by the media's utter incompetence.

Ahhh... Rita Crosby now saying the next hour is critical in determining the success of the elections. I swear a nuke could go off and they'd successfully downplay it.

Grrrrr

16. might be as important, but will it yield the same results ??

:( :shrug:

17. And did they stick a

Fox fact on the bottom of the screen like this?

Fox Fact: The Berlin wall was brought down by President Reagan over the objection of Democrats.

I never watch this crap but it was on the other day when I was in the gym and it is unbelievable what is on there. It starts to make sense that people are so divorced from reality when you consider they are getting their news from here.

21. bark cough hahahahaha

18. What Else Can They Say???

This regime, that network and it's followers are so conflicted by lies and distortions and revised history, they couldn't know or tell the truth...or, even worse, face reality.

Fortunately, I've been watching a lot of CBC, BBC and other international coverage and it's a stark comparison to the propaganda people are being fed here. They don't mix their feelings as to what a sham it is to have an "election" in the midst of a civil war where the rules and election are controlled by an occupying army.

These days, this regime is waging a full-scale media war on the world...doing the only thing it knows how to do...divide and confuse. And Faux is the biggest cheerleader.

20. MSNBC: Longer it goes without violence = more voters later

Do you think maybe the people with the bombs might think the same way??

[Skittles]

22. they are Bush Whores

what the hell else can they say?
