FOX News' quick slide into disarray and dishonor...
As if Neil Cavuto's interview with George W Bush was not enough to convince people of FOX's purpose in life - to promote the right-wing agenda - now we have one of their White House reporters screaming and acting like some asshole on acid or hallucinogenic. What's up with these people? Just because their rating are down and people are starting to see them for what they are, they fall apart.

12. There's like 25 stories on the front page alone! Could you be more
specific?

Thanks.

2. They're in a panic
not only are their ratings down, so are Bush's. They are trying to keep the wingnuts following them.

4. Fox news might now be sliding into disarray, but they long ago slid into
dishonor IMHO.

6. You are implying they originally had some honor
I would have to disagree.

7. Disagree on one point
this has not been a "quick" slide. It's been happening every day, every minute since this farcical "news" network began.
Their success has led to their downfall. There just aren't enough freeps to sustain all the rightwing media. Everybody climbed on the boat. Every TV station, radio station, newspaper...you name it. They got themselves a rightwing spin doctor of their very own. Even hackneyed Dennis Miller got a show. (fortunately, now deceased). The Comedy Channel had Colin Quinn..mumbling inanities amidst spittle. Guess what? Even the Kool-Aid drinkers got tired of the same old braindead regurgitation of Rovian "disassembling". Not only inaccurate, it's boring. Watch O'Reilly. His schtick is tired and annoying. And Rush has been reduced to a first-class whiner. Poor me.
So, now the boat is sinking with all the blowhards aboard. They're going down with their numbers.
Fine.

14. Fox News Does Not Exist For the Ratings
It exists because its owners have the same agenda as the regime and are
effectively part of it. It is their primary propaganda organ, though
less important to them now that the rest of the media has been brought
into the fold.

If the Fox is doing the news, you won't ever hear about what is
happening in the henhouse!

16. good point
Fox has been losing money and it doesn't matter. Their friends have deep pockets. It's our Pravda. Oil money will keep them going for their nationalistic (not patriotic) propaganda. Along with the Swiftboat Liars and their other paid attack whores.
But the wannabees need the revenue. And they'll sink.
You can tell who the smart monkeys are. They're already hedging their bets and becoming more "moderate". Look at ole Newt. He's Mr. Senior Statesman now. Cuddling up to that "bitch" (his words) Hillary. He needs more spotlight time or he'll wither and die.
They're all whores. So as they sense the mood of the nation is changing, they'll follow whoever is holding the leash.
Locally, we have former Rep. Bob Barr doing the moderate dance. Yeah, Bob, like we've all forgotten about your unbridled self-promotion calling for the destruction of Bill Clinton.
Now, he's been born again. As the voice of reason.
Gag.

9. "quick slide"????
Pretty sure you were going for the permanent affixation to the very scummy bottom of the professional press heap by recently demonstrating an unerring penchant for publically proving they are stupid... :shrug:
