This collection of video clips is a quite powerful indictment of Fox News' use of Orwellian techniques to kill the Democrat's health care plan. Fox News' "fair and balanced" lie is supplemented with a "Prescription for Truth" segment on Fox & Friends that in practice strongly resembles the "Ignorance is Strength" sign outside 1984's Ministry of Truth. Fox & Friends regular spinmeister Peter Johnson Jr. tells endless lies (many of omission) to scare the heck out of Fox News' conservative audience.

3. Where in the name of all the gods did they get this shithead?

I'm really hard pressed to remember the last time I've heard such a collection of truth twistings, absurdities, and out and out lies. If that was fair and balanced, then I'm Lady Justice (which, after 33 years, would come as an enormous shock to my wife).

4. You don't look like Lady Justice to me...

... so that means Peter Johnson, Jr. is full of crap!

Fox & Friends is the most biased morning show in the industry. Since it's on Fox News I'm sure your suitably shocked. The "Prescription for Truth" segment, a misnomer if there ever was one, is their attempt to kill at all costs the Democrats' health care reform efforts. The few clips I put in that video is all that I could find on their web site. They run it all the time. Like twice this week alone.
