bias?

15. No doubt Fox will hire Noam Chomsky also, to keep their "fair and balanced" reputation pristine.

3. Well, there you go. Another example of them not even trying...
to pretend where their bread is buttered.

On one hand, I hate hypocrisy, so I prefer people (and corporations) be open and honest about their intentions; on the other hand, what does it say when media doesn't even try to hide behind pretense any longer?

Have we gone beyond the tipping point? Someone here likened this decline/deception to frogs being cooked slowly, so slowly they don't realize what's happening.

6. At least the new AG will know
where to send the subpoenas.

Attorney General John Edwards, of course!

7. This guy is a sucker for self delusion. He's is the least television friendly person out there.
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 09:20 AM by BleedingHeartPatriot
Additionally, he is well known for being a manipulative, scheming little turd blossom who is also a criminal who's avoiding prosecution, at the moment...well, FAUX apparently doesn't actually CARE about ratings anymore..:shrug:


on edit: Welcome to transparency Mr. Rove. I'm sure many will watch your statements closely :hi:

11. I am shocked I tell you!!!
Just shocked. I have already canceled my subscription to Newsweek because they brought that ass on board. No need worry about me catching him on Fixed News Channel because I would not be caught dead watching that.

13. I think this is great news!
Let's look at this from a positive point of view.

Between Rove's WSJ hacking and his Fox News blatherings--maybe he'll have
less time to fix elections and plot election campaigns that usher in the worst
leaders ever to grace the planet.

The only difference is that he's in front of the camera now.

28. Just maybe we will see him arrested LIVE on the airwaves.
There is an assumption that he is going to be free in this news!
