David Shuster: Spoke With A Friend At Fox News...

[Hissyspit]

@DavidShuster: Spoke with a friend at Fox News. This reporter says several DC staffers are "aghast and embarassed" over Sammon + wish he'd resign.

They're aghast that Fox News is fucking garbage. Shocked, I tell you! :sarcasm:

1. Like Sammon is some sort of aberration.

No, he's the standard.

[tularetom]

2. In other words they have no problem with what he did

They're just pissed off that he copped to it.

3. Yup.

4. for those not up to date....wha happened?

6. Apparently, Mr. Sammon is a bit of a shit-stirrer

He was on one of those celebrity cruise thingies, and talking to the faithful, he admitted that he started the "Obama is a socialist" meme, repeating it several times despite his personal misgivings that it wasn't true. He said that he did it out of a sense of mischief, and was surprised or something when the media echo chamber took it and ran. Media Matters has a fuller treatment, if you Google their site.

Fox News head editors can admit to lying and nothing happens and nothing changes

5. Does Sammon love his guns too..

I remember when the Virginia Tech incident happened and he thought his kids may have been injured he was on fox because of his concern as anyone would be but, I get so tired of seeing these people run their damn mouths but once something hits close to home they become hysterical. I wonder if he is against gun control.
