fox news again.........Reid: Did Dems ignore e-mails to perserve seat?

[IChing]

[wakeme2008]

1. One time I could see a mistake

but this is no mistake....
:grr:

[Pirate Smile]

2. So stupid - Reid is also in the SENATE, not the House, along

with being a Democrat.

How friggin dumb do you have to be to work for Faux News or be one of their graphics writers?

[Cha]

5. Fucking Righteous Dumb and

you have to lie with a straight face.

[IChing]

7. They are not stupid or incompetent ...three different times.

THREE TIMES

[Pirate Smile]

12. I know about listing Foley as a Dem but discussing Reid and the e-mails

is idiotic on so many levels it is unbelievable.

If they said Pelosi, instead of Reid, it would have at least made some sense to me. Bringing in Reid is just bat-sh#$ dumb.

[tblue]

32. And did you hear what Katherine Harris said?

That the DEMS have known about this and kept this secret, and therefore have endangered our children? That's what she said. The witch.

[lonestarnot]

21. I still say Dems need to SUE THE FUCK OUT OF FOX NEWS!

[The Wielding Truth]

43. There 's something called a cease a subsist order isn't there?

Could we as citizens sue them? Anyone know the law?

[lonestarnot]

56. Yes there is, but I'm not a lawyer. Where is Fox headquarters?

Need a lawyer there. Problem is what are the damages?

[The Wielding Truth]

59. Maybe campaign laws .The corruption of misrepresenting a political

candidate to defame the integrity of the opposing challenger or party?They are aware of what they are doing so it IS intentional. They should at least be warned to stop.

Fox News headquarters in New York City with its street-side studios on Sixth Avenue (1211 Avenue of the Americas) in the west extension of Rockefeller Center. Says Wikipedia.

I'll send this thread to the DNC. Anyone see another way hold Faux accountable?

[lonestarnot]

67. As I said earlier on another thread, all DUers should have

standing for a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress! :rofl:

[The Wielding Truth]

68. Now you think it's frivolous? I think it's despicable. There are

citizens who catch this trash on the run and don't get the whole story. To let these misleading captions go out, is harmful to us. But maybe you don't mind that our party is being maliciously pulled into this.

[Toots]

72. I seem to recall they were already sued for broadcasting a falsehood

and the courts said they have no obligation to tell the truth and found for them..I guess that is why they are so bold with their blatant LIES...

[cascadiance]

46. Is that Duke Cunningham he's standing in front of?

Though if this is a recent set of footage that would be impossible. Looks like the Dukestir...

[gully]

58. WTF? Do we need to send this to the major media? ABC, CBS

wha?

[Coexist]

71. where did you get those screenshots?

If I may ask.

[Mountainman]

10. Faux news must consider it's audience to be really stupid or gullible

to be putting up this stuff.

[shrub chipper]

13. Faux news must consider it's audience to be really stupid or gullible

Ya think!!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

50. they'd be right on both accounts. n/t

[Brundle_Fly]

26. I seriously doubt

the graphics writer is the one doing it.

Its a propaganda channel, they will do, what they can... and this is it... sad.

[radwriter0555]

69. They're actors only. Don't credit them with any particular intelligence

because they have a hairdresser and tanning salon written into their SAG contracts.

3. .

For those who haven't seen it yet, Jon Stewart about the use of the question mark by the media:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Brilliant!

Will Faux ever stop sucking GOP cock?




Maybe...

:shrug:

[driver8]

16. Not while the GOP is throwing them " a little extra for the effort."

"Fox News"...now that's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.

[PerfectSage]

24. Nope

Faux news = GOP Foxsuckers.

[tblue]

30. Hell no! The GOP is the reason Pox News was created!

and Pox News is not a typo. Roger Ailes worked for Reagan. They wanted to counter what they saw as liberal-leaning news, which means anything that doesn't swallow the GOP party line whole.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

53. oh man that's a classic

[SammyWinstonJack]

65. ? Brilliant!

:evilgrin: Love Jon!

[Mountainman]

4. It is really interesting to me to see how the repugs are trying to twist

this around as if they can't admit to themselves that it was one of theirs who is involved.

Yes little Virginia repuke, there are repub bad guys!

[HeeBGBz]

6. Are they on drugs?

What are they trying to pull? I've heard they like to rewrite history, but you can't rewrite the present as long as someone is paying attention.

That is way creepy.

[Aviation Pro]

8. What's the deal with the starburst....

...coming from the brunette bimbo's chest? Also, how drunk does the blonde look?

[IChing]

9. digital camera and flash n/t

[Parche]

11. FUX news

Can we get them thru the FCC, with the FOLEY D-FL thing, and now this???

[driver8]

17. "Fux News...we fuck up the news so you don't have to."

How can people watch these idiots? I guess they get to hear what they want to hear by watching them. I suppose it makes them feel better to think that they are on the "right side."

You cannot tell me that the Foley (D-FL) was a mistake...no freakin' way.

[Hav]

15. .

Uh damn, I only got it now...I wondered which seat they would have wanted to preserve by "ignoring" (?!?) it. They aren't really implicating that the Dems wanted to preserve Foley's seat, right? They can't go that far, right? Unbelievable.

Jesus, they are using the Republican scandal as a Dem scandal!

[BootinUp]

18. They won't be happy until 55% think Foley is a Dem. n/t

[Hav]

19. .

I think that thread needs to be mentioned on other threads. That is just too outrageous to miss.

[WePurrsevere]

20. Perhaps these screen shots should be sent to Dean & Pelosi? A lawsuit

might be in order. Once might be a mess up but 3 times? Yeah right... don't think so. Hopefully this obvious BS will turn even more viewers away from Faux "News".

(edited to copy and paste in missed "b"s... keyboard is farkled up)

[lonestarnot]

22. We should launch a class action on top of the dems suit for

intentional infliction of emotional distress!

[enigmacat]

23. The "chick" in the middle looks and sneers like Michelle Malkin.

[bunny planet]

25. I'm telling you, this is their unfreakingbelievable new ploy.

Just keep putting it out there that Foley was a Dem. They really think their viewers are that stupid. Fuck, maybe they are.
They couldn't be, could they?

[Amonester]

33. Most of 'em R.

But they R shrinking by the hour...

[laundry_queen]

39. I agree.

This is the only way they can see to avoid the consequences, which must be bigger than we thought if they are ready to stoop this low. And yes, I've met those Fox views who think Fox is REAL news and that Fox wouldn't lie. They ARE that dumb. Fox knows that while not everyone will fall for it, SOME of their idiot viewers WILL. They sure know their demographic.

[mikelgb]

27. we're in the middle of brazen orwellian propaganda folks n/t

[tblue]

31. That is the only explanation. It's a conspiracy. It IS.

[Vidar]

28. Reid had better be planning one hell of a libel suit.

[bonito]

29. NEWS ALERT! FOX DOESN'T KNOW REP. FOLEY IS A

REPUBLICAN!

[Secular Agent Man]

34. So, is this how Ailes is going to "shake things up" at his lame-ass

network? Truly pathetic, beyond words.

[Bjorn Against]

35. Fox News is going to lose even more credibility with this crap

Even the people who watch FOX generally know that Foley was a Republican, it is a claim easily disproven and to make the same "mistake" three times is not something that would make you look very good in the eyes of a whole lot of viewers.

This is the type of thing you can shove into any Fox News viewers face to prove they lie, because even most of them know Mark Foley was a Republican.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

55. credibility? you think they are concerned about credibility?

it's not a news organization, it doesn't give a shit about credibility. THIS IS THE REASON for its existence.

[bunny planet]

36. Keith gave O'Loofah the benefit of the doubt for doing it last night

but he shouldn't have. This is their new dastardly plan.
Think I'll send this to Olbermann now.

[Marie26]

37. They really are in an alternate universe. nt

[Hav]

38. Why is Fox doing that?

I thought about why Fox might doing it. It's absolutely ridiculous, too obvious and one of the most blatant acts of propaganda I can think of.
They know that Foley is a Repub, the Freepers know it and most likely the majority of their viewers is aware of that fact as well. It's a few weeks before the election so they wouldn't do anything to hurt a Repub. They could actually try to ignore the matter. It is rumored that they tried that before the emails were made public.

On the other side, the story about a Congressman talking dirty with minors is just too good when the other channels are reporting it, it's like the story of the year. They had to decide between GOP ass-kissing and the money/ratings...so in order to milk the story without hurting the Repubs, they make it a fucking affair of the Democratic party and that includes every aspect. They do not only have cute reports depicting Foley as Foley(D-FL), they also use every attack against the Repubs about the topic to slam the Dems, for example by "asking" whether the Dems ignored the warnings they received because they wanted to protect Foley's seat.

Like I said, it's such a blatant act of propaganda, one should actually laugh about it. It reminds me of one thing that Jon Stewart once said: The only one who would report the Iraq war differently if we had a Democratic President, would be Fox News. Here we see that he was so right. It's absolutely laughable and yet so despicable.

[toadzilla]

40. fuck fox.

how is this even legal?

[Coexist]

41. Un - friggin- believable.

This is sooo wrong.

[enki23]

42. that's not a fucking mistake.

that's their fucking strategy. they're that fucking desperate. and, as clueless as fox's audience is, it'll work on a good number of them.

[Swamp Rat]

44. Better question: Do republicans fuck children before or after dinner?

[gordontron]

45. freaking rediculous

this needs to be out in the real media...sheesh

[Warren Stupidity]

47. Confusoids.

Confusoids are a form of meme that is designed simply to confuse an issue. Fox is putting out the 'Foley is a Democrat' confusoid. Consider their audience: it is the cabled-up Republic base voter. This confusoid attempts to keep them from staying home in november. It will probably work.

[Ksec]

48. Fox is working at fever pace to crawl out of their hole

Thats why their ratings are plummeting. People dont want to be uninformed and they now realize Fox cant be trusted.

[cascadiance]

49. Check this article out... Someone needs to fix this typo! :)

This probably wasn't intentional, but it is amusing...

The Silent Majority
Written by John Foley
Wednesday, 09 August 2006

Congress has a lot of good apples, so why don't they toss out the bad ones?

...

The task would seem to fall to the ten members of the House Ethics Committee, but recent events suggest that they've been away from their phones. The Democrats have railed against the "Culture of Corruption" fostered by the Republican majority, but from whence is this "culture" born?

According to Dr. Saul Faerstein, the psychiatrist who treated convicted Congressman Duke Cunningham (D-CA), lots of things happen to people when they decide to run for office, but for the most part anything predisposing a member to bad behavior has happened well before they start giving stump speeches.

...

[bonzotex]

51. This is no mistake....

Here in Texas and I'm sure in other moron infested red states, Fox news in on public screens all over. Bars, gyms, retailers, restaurants, its hard to escape. The sound is usually down or inaudible anyway. These little crawls and blurbs are just thrown out there to infect people who are already Faux News suckers.

It doesn't matter if it's a ludicrous lie. Its just like wingnut talk radio. They throw out ridiculous lies and distortions all the time. It's never retracted or corrected. It just becomes part of the ambient repuke propaganda noise rattling in the empty heads that listen and watch.

[Sparkly]

52. They're really going for some kind of record, aren't they?

:mad:

[cascadiance]

54. Maybe to be "fair and balanced", they should make another "mistake"...

and print a story about Margie Schoedinger, the person off the radar screen in terms of accusing Bush that he raped her, and instead make the mistake of doing a story on "Juanita Broderick, who accused George Bush of raping her, was found dead two years ago with a gunshot wound to her head." That would create a stir!

[gully]

57. Is this for real? Link please.

thanks

[MagickMuffin]

60. Faux News Distort and Distract

That should be their new theme/meme.

Does anyone know what they are saying?
Are they also confusing the viewers through the spoken word?

First off I would think that someone within the FCC should be aware of this SCANDAL.

We all know Faux doesn't support reality news. The first Faith Based News Channel. They have to have Faith their viewers are that gullible and stupid....

Even though they are using a disinformation campaign, the main thing to remember is the voters in his District they KNOW Foley is a Repub. And I guess that is the one thing to consider. The voters are the only ones that will get to make the difference in Nov.

Faux News will get what it deserves when viewers realize that the place they thought they could TRUST the "news" coming from Faux is nothing more than disinformation. They will start looking for other sources of information that doesn't get the FACTS WRONG, on purpose.....

[Cobalt Violet]

61. This is just getting out of hand.

There must be something we can do.

[Cobalt Violet]

62. Dupe

[earth mom]

63. Now I've seen everything! Those lying bastards at Faux have NO SHAME!

FUCK THEM! :grr:

[TheModernTerrorist]

64. why are we waiting

for the Dem leadership to take action on this? Why can't we start a class-action lawsuit, AS DEMOCRATS, AS MEMBERS OF THE PARTY, and get this shit rolling? Can't we do that somehow?

[ComerPerro]

66. This is just insane. Why is this subject even being discussed at all?

Damn librul media.


If Faux were even half as fair as they claim to be, they wouldn't be spinning it like this.


I mean, WTF? If Dems knew about this, how could the Republicans have NOT known?

[Botany]

73. What a mistake ..... totaly innocent

Shameless shits.

[Peggy Day]

74. To officially complain-go to email

[e-mail]
according to fcc phone lady. She said you need time, channel and date. I'm on it.

[Betty]

75. where's the FCC in all of this?

this is unbelievable
