Fox News deceives viewers about guests on Palin show
You're gonna love this one...

An upcoming Fox News Channel special hosted by Sarah Palin is titled "Real American Stories."

But rapper-actor LL Cool J says his participation in the show was bogus. In response, the network has snipped him from the program. In a Twitter posting late Tuesday, the entertainer wrote that Fox "lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW."

Country singer Toby Keith was similarly caught by surprise, his publicist said Wednesday. Elaine Schock said a radio reporter contacted her Tuesday seeking details about Keith's announced appearance on Palin's Fox News program. "I said, 'You're wrong. There is no Sarah Palin special with Toby Keith on it on Fox,'" Schock said. She said the reporter then e-mailed her the press release issued by Fox News, which said Keith would "explain the inspiration behind his song 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.'"

:rofl:

2. Probably safer than letting her attempt to hold a conversation on camera

4. Well everything they do is toward evil and makes satan happy
so they decided Failin (love that) would be better suited to talking to bit clips...like Space Ghost Coast to Coast. She could hire Zorak.

5. The Morons Don't Mind...
She couldn't interview her way out of a paper bag...and would be amusement to the rest of us. Faux knows it and thus gave her an "easy" assignment...sounds like all she did was come in and cut some voice tracks on a script someone else had written and another person is producing. Her total time: maybe two hours...depending on how bad she reads (I can only imagine).

But the faux coven will eat it up with a knife and fork...and it doesn't matter who is "spotlighted" as all faux wants is attention and people to tune in for at least 15 minutes to "sample" this abomination. Any "negative" publicity, as we've seen with Grifterella is taken by her zombies as a boost not a knock...yet another attack on their vestigal virgin.
