Fox's E D Hill & Steve Doocy lie and insult Dems during 1/20 show
The fact that Fred Barnes insulted Dems is not really news - and I guess lies from Fox by anyone is not really news - but for the record (paraphrased from Mediamatters):

FOX & Friends anchors heaped insults on Democrats during inauguration coverage

FOX & Friends co-hosts E.D. Hill and Steve Doocy used the show's January 20 coverage of Inauguration Day ceremonies to heap insults and ridicule on Democrats....as in "CHAMBLISS: Knowing how you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches -- Peter Pan peanut butter made in Sylvester, Georgia, about 25 miles from my hometown of Moultrie. responded to by HILL: But you know, senator, could you have Senator Kerry's manservants come in and make those sandwiches for us? 'Cause we don't do that by ourselves, you know. Isn't that what he had his guy do? Make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? They must be good."

Appears Roger Ailies did not like the Condoleezza Rice confirmation hearings, so Hill attacked Boxer and Biden:

HILL: I was struck by Senator Boxer's use of rhetoric (defined by Hills context as hot air, empty words, empty talk)instead of any facts (A LIE - TRUTH IS THAT A TRANSCRIPT SHOWS BOXER USING ALMOST ENTIRELY DIRECT QUOTATIONS OF RICE'S OWN WORDS), and I was struck by Senator Biden's use of sarcasm instead of any, you know, concrete information. Is that -- am I just naïve? Is that the sort of -- I mean, do people talk to secretary of state, you know, nominees that way normally? You know, calling them liars and then, in Senator Biden's, you know, very condescending(ANOTHER LIE - THE "So do me a favor. As my mother would say, 'God love you, please do me a favor.' Start to tell the whole deal." WAS ONLY AFTER EXTENSIVE QUOTING OF THE CONCRETE OBSERVATIONS "about coalition efforts to train Iraqi security forces by Peter Khalil, former director of national security policy at the Coalition Provisional Authority, from Khalil's December 20, 2004, NEW YORK TIMES OP-ED). you know, tone, saying, you know, "As my mom has said," you know, "'God love ya, but,'" you know, whatever. Do they talk -- I mean, is that normal protocol?"

CHAMBLISS: Well, you know, some people would refer to it as sour grapes. I don't really think that's the case.

HILL: But is that normal? I mean, is that really what goes on in a normal give-and-take?

1. Ignore FAUX...................
do not read anything about them, do not discuss them and most of all do not watch them. What's the point? We all know they're biased bushbots and no amount of discussion is going to change that.

Ignore them. They do not exist in our world. Their world is one of dishonesty and propaganda. Our world is one of truth and progression.

Remain in our world, their's is not needed here.

2. Dems need to stay off of that channel entirely
ALL the shows, every appearance is just another setup for the smiley-faced hatchet-job frat boys and girls...

By continuing to appear, we give them credibility to the bushbots that watch it...

Denounce them for what they are, the junta's propaganda wind, and stay the fuck away...Let them rot on the vine into insignificance all on their own
