Fox & Friends explains why McCain can't use an "email machine" (VIDEO)

The "email machine" comment comes at the 3:10 mark

This, it turns out, is "well chronicled" "known for years"

FOX and Friends this morning 9/15/08 started the ball rolling (as they always do) about the storylines that we'll see pushed through the day. It's the same old "Election2008" coverage we've come to expect: attack a minor incident as evidence of media bias (conspiracy, even) and distort Obama ads to make McCain look victimized.
With video.

Today's big diversion ("a major controversy") features photographer Jill Greenberg, hired by Atlantic Monthly magazine to shoot John McCain's cover photo; while doing so she also "tricked him" into posing for a shot that makes him look "like a villain," found at her website Manipulator.com. The magazine did not use that photo but rather another
which the FOX crews are complaining about - his red eyes were not cleared and his skin looks bad. AM is not apologizing for that "respectful" photo (we are at a new level of propaganda when a "news" outlet complains that their candidate's cover shots are NOT being retouched to make him look better - "maybe they hired her on purpose," smeared Gretchen Carlson) but they are apologizing to McCain for the photographer's unprofessional behavior. Of course, now FOX wants magazines and other media outlets to censor vet photographers and contributors to make sure everyone is properly politically neutral - like them. Too funny.

I don't want to give this "major controversy" fluff diversion any more attention, though suffice to say it's getting plenty of play on FOX.

A more serious case of advocacy for John McCain is making the rounds on FOX. In response to Barack Obama's recent ad that cites McCain's lack of computer knowledge as one indicator of how out of touch he is with everyday Americans, FOX is on full blown defense. They are insisting that his lack of Internet use stems from his torture (their emphasis) at the Hanoi Hilton and his resulting disability to raise his arms above his head, and add that arthritis has set in and made it worse. The chyrons say that Obama ad "mocks" McCain's "inability" to email.

1. I heard a freeper at work talking this nonsense....

I asked him how many times he situated his keyboard
over his head.

[smartvoter]

5. What was his reply? nt

[PassingFair]

6. He claimed that Obama had been made to apologize.

:shrug:

I haven't seen an "apology" anywhere.

Seriously, I am SICK of arguing with
these guys, as they think they are
playing some kind of GAME.

:puke"

2. well, I know I always place my keyboard in the convenient "over the head" position

to make typing easier. :wtf:

Perhaps someone just needs to explain to John that proper use of a keyboard would look something like this:



represented in an ergomatically correct chart,

or, in an image example of someone close to John's age:

?v=0

Note to John and Fox, I looked hard, but I couldn't find a single image on the inter-tubes of people raising their arms overhead to reach a keyboard. :shrug: It's really never too late to learn proper keyboarding.

3. Can we start a fund to buy McCain a chair?

I mean a 4 term Senator married to a billionaire heiress with 7 maybe 10 houses really should have looked into getting a chair A CHAIR in one of these houses or in his Senate office.

4. Well for 5 years McPOW didn't HAVE a chair

Why do you mock him with your chair rhetoric? :sarcasm:
