LMAO!!! DESPERATE Fox News makes another embarassing stumble

FOX is "Taken In" By Republican Parody Group that Calls Themselves "Communists for Kerry" and Actually Accepts That They are Legitimate! Oh, My God. What a GOP Propaganda Machine. Hey, FOX, the Only Stalinists Running Around are Working for Rove.

October 3, 2004

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION

Well, Fox News makes a fool of itself twice in two days.

See the FOX article, entitled, per the GOP message points -- and revealed in the documentary "Outfoxed" -- "Some Voters Still Flip-Flop After Debate":

Of course, there were some Kerry supporters in attendance who had no doubts whatever about their candidate.

"We're trying to get Comrade Kerry elected and get that capitalist enabler George Bush out of office," said 17-year-old Komoselutes Rob of Communists for Kerry.

"Even though he, too, is a capitalist, he supports my socialist values more than President Bush," Rob said, before assuring FOXNews.com that his organization was not a parody group. When asked his thoughts on Washington's policy toward Communist holdout North Korea, Rob said: "The North Koreans are my comrades to a point, and I'm sure they support Comrade Kerry, too."

It is unclear whether the Kerry campaign has welcomed the Communists' endorsement.

3. It's not really funny
It's almost beyond belief. After yesterday's outrage, you'd think Fox would be doubly cautious. They obviously really do not care to even pretend to be a legitimate news operation. They don't give a shit what anyone thinks except Karl Rove and the freepers. But if anyone else prints even a mistake, they're all over them huffing with righteous indignation at how their competitors are traducing the noble traditions of the journalistic profession.

Don't try to tell me this one was an accident, too. Two days in a row? Those fucking bastards.

11. Don't be so certain.
This is just the kind of crap that they throw up on their website, and put on air, hoping that people will hear it. They'll never retract it and they'll never admit they made a mistake. Remember-they're still trying to furiously spin that the whole KKKCarl Cameron thing was meant to be a "joke". When the hell is the rest of the media demand that these motherfuckers (and I mean that they probably do that literally)clean up their act?
