5. DONT FALL FOR THIS GUYS!!!!!!
DONT FALL FOR THIS GUYS!!!!!!

This conversation was planned and rehearsed in advance by fox news.

This is just like when Beck said "Mccain would have been worse than obama".

Its all bullcrap.

Its just fox being smart and trying to make people think they are "Fair and Balanced".

Noone believes that Glenn Beck likes obama more than Mccain for president.
He only said that to make himself sound more "bi-partisan".
Its all smoke and mirrors.
Just like this video.

Fox news will do a few more things in the future like this. Mark my word

In a time where fox is being TOTALLY exposed as a full fledged right wing owned and operated "news" station, They are throwing things like this in the mix on purpose to make themselves seem more "fair and balanced".

Especially after CNN just PWWNED fox for Promoting 9-12 instead of covering it.

Fox is smart, more of this is coming.

6. I think your right , The chad....
To keep their ratings , they have to give the right something to scratch their heads about,
If the President and some foreign leaders think Faux is a piece of crap, you have to create an
illusion that your not that bad.
Good call.

7. Remember: This is NOT LIVE!!
Billdo's shows are taped, reviewed, and edited before airing. This is NOT LIVE! THERE ARE NO SURPRISES!

None of Bernie Goldberg's comments would be included unless they were precisely according to script. This was part of what Goldberg is hinting at: You can call your shows commentary all you want, but as long as they are being aired on a network titled "Fox NEWS Network," being delivered by overfed, over-coiffed white guys dressed up to look like news anchors and sitting behind news desks in studios deliberately designed to look like television news studios, viewers are going to, understandably, believe they are watching the news. This is precisely the impression that the Fox "News" Network wants.

Do I want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine? Yes and no. There should be some sort of standard developed for television news, but there is no room for stifling dissent. I DO believe that a network should not be able to put the word "news" in its name unless it meets some pretty strict guidelines. For example, broadcasting the news should not be a profit-driven enterprise; in my perfect world, anything broadcast on a news network or as a news show would not be allowed to have any advertising or commercials. If that is too stringent, then maybe allow three to five minutes of commercials only at the end of each uninterrupted broadcast.

Second, all commentary would have to be taped in studios markedly dissimilar to the regular news studio. Any commentary would have to be clearly introduced as such. An example of an acceptable commentary format might be the introduction and format of the Andy Rooney segments on "60 Minutes."

Finally, the Fox "News" Network does not feature news anchors, journalists, or reporters at any time during its broadcast day. All Fox "News" Network on-air personalities are spokes-models, nothing more, on the television equivalent of the National Enquirer.

Oh, yeah: And Bill O'Reilly is Bat-Boy.

Best regards, Wally

9. By the Way. . .
The chad said: "Noone believes that Glenn Beck likes obama more than Mccain for president.
He only said that to make himself sound more "bi-partisan".
"Its all smoke and mirrors.
"Just like this video."


What does Herman's Hermits have to do with the Fox "News" Network?

And why should we care what Peter Noone thinks about Glenn Beck?

I'm just asking.

Best regards, Wally

remember . . . "mrs. brown you've got a lovely daughter . . ." (or maybe he's before your time). you have to be of a certain age to remember that. that brit group did not make it past a few years. you meant to write 'no one' but left out a space.
