This is not the History Channel says Doocy of Fox
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Fox_host_tells_guest_mentioning_Keating_0925.html
<snip>
'Cut his mike,' producer suggests
The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way.

Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papatino tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s.

F&F's Steve Doocy told Papatonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike."

As Papatonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off.

"This is not the History Channel," he says.

7. It's the Revisionist History Channel.

How anyone but the remaining mindless few can still stomach Faux News is beyond me.

Willful stupidity...sad.

9. Its staggering that he is still on TV
the fact that the ratings are high enough to keep this bozo on does not bode well for the USA

10. They're not the History Channel. The History Channel is for thinking people,
FAUX is propaganda pure and simple aimed at people afraid of independent thought.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.

11. the fact that McSame now wants to go back to D.C. must mean that he has friends who need
bailing out. He sure as hell doesn't have any other expertise in the area.

16. Those who don't know their history are bound to repeat it.
And if the American Pravda has their way, we will be doing just that come November.
