Faux is in overtime desperation mode now.
First we had Carl Cameron caught falsifying Kerry quotes and then we have Jane Roh trying to legitimize "Communists for Kerry" as a real organization only to correct themselves after trying to do damage. (Check link with editorial correction at the very bottom).
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134268,00.html

And this was the "news" organization that was selected to work the cameras at a presidential debate?
THey will stop at nothing to keep this man in office!

1. Way to fact check, faux! Where are the calls for resignations?
Editor’s Note:

In a version of this article that was published earlier, the Communists for Kerry group was portrayed as an organization that was supporting John Kerry for president. FOXNews.com’s reporter asked the group’s representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was. The Communists for Kerry group is, in fact, a parody organization.


Fauxnews is, in fact, a parody news organization. :puke:

3. Hey, there's a niche for them!
They do a better parody of the news than SNL.

Only problem is, if they do that, then they have to compete with Jon Stewart.

Hey, it'd be tough going up against The Daily Show, I admit -- but it couldn't be nearly as tough as making excuses for Shrub and trying to make people believe he actually has what it takes to lead a first-world country!

6. Time to start up a "Klingons for Kerry" website and wait for Faux
to come a-calling.
"Are you a legitimate group?"

"Why yes, Brit. Yes indeed!"

11. There's probably already a 527 going by that name...
...or was that the "Fascists for Freedom"? I'm always mixing up those extremist PAC's! :D

7. Fox: "Are you SURE you're legitimate?"
Person dressed as Groucho instead of Karl Marx: "Oh yes, you can take our word for it."

Fox: "Well, that's good enough for me."

FOXNews.com’s reporter asked the group’s representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was

2. Fox/Bushco News Should Be Sued
for trying to throw an American election through media lies! I don't think we'll here too much more about Dan Rather from Faux News.

4. This is the network that called the 2000 election?
The cabal arranged with CBS ABC NBC to stand down while Murdoch and Roger took on the responsibility or calling the election. All arranged. Brave Fox. Brave Fox.
