The Quintessential Fox News Image

Everything you need to know about Fox News is captured in this screenshot: the American flags, the fear-mongering image in the upper-right corner, the blond anchor with a facial expression that somehow combines sneering with absolute terror.

3. It's missing the thousands of factoid-spewing Red/White'n'/BLUE graphics at the bottom.

Oh, and the ever-famous Cavuto Question (otherwise known as a loaded question):

[trotsky]

6. Cavuto is such an ignorant fuck.

The other day I had the misfortune of catching a bit of his show. He was whining about the "fact" that half of all Americans PAY NO TAXES! It was, of course, the standard FAUX lie. Yes, it's true, half of all Americans are too poor to pay INCOME taxes. They sure do have it swell, living on $10/hr or less, huh? What he naturally didn't want to mention is that those same people DO play PLENTY of taxes - most notably payroll (SS and Medicare) but also property (directly or indirectly thru rent) and sales taxes.

Every time I unfortunately see a snip of FAUX, I get absolutely furious at the outright LIES they push, and the people they are duping.

7. Someone sprayed that same misnomer at DU yesterday. It was sad.

So I guess Heritage-penned hit pieces on the poor are vogue with both parties now.

Cavuto is an unrepentant corporate bootshiner. Insufferable and whiny to the core.

9. Lucky Duckies!

5. If you look a little closer...

You can see her vapidity shining through.

8. Is that a "teddy" she's wearing?

If not, how much longer before it is?
