The folks at Fox News, always innovative in the ways of fairness and balance, do some of their most inflammatory work on the banners that hover at the bottom of the screen. Not to rest at mislabeling party affiliation, they’ve taken to editorializing given names.


BradBlog:

Yes, we know the chyron is from a political debate show. But does anybody have any examples of similarly obnoxious/partisan/unsupported chyrons from Fox saying something like “George W. Bush: War Criminal” or under the former Speaker of the House “Dennis Hasbeen”? If so, we’d love to see them. Versus endless examples like the one above or this crap and this nonsense, or Fox calling Ted Kennedy a “hostile enemy” of America on one of their “news” as they did this morning…

Yes jim, scary people listen, believe every lie spun by Fox and are proud to share it. Because of a job, I have the dubious pleasure of being stuck in the Confederacy of Alabama where the majorities seem to gather all of their “information” from either Fox or the Southern Baptist Church. Being a live-and-let-live sort, what they do in their private moments wouldn’t bother me if they didn’t vote but they do, and guess where the 30 odd percent still in favor of this war reside?  The daily deluge of the world according to Fox interlaced with an apparent longing for the apocalypse sometimes makes me wish that we had lost our own Civil War and the mason Dixon Line was our southern border.

Most of the comments listed in this site are beyond creepy, beyond belief, and belong in Tales of the Playground.  The sheer numbers of vacant people that can actually vote is scary but it does explain how hollow-eyed, sheep-speak, follow blindly liberals like Schumer, Kennedy, Durbin, Pelosi, and Reid can get elected.

Forget Fox News. They are great supporters of George W. Bush and of all his failed poicies. So at least you know that there are morons pulling the reins there. I was just reading a story about Joe Kennedy Jr.,the former Congressman, and eldest son of RFK.. I think that he would make a great Democratic candidate for president. Do any of your readers feel the same way? I think that he should be resurrected..

The nickname “Sandy Burglar” comes directly from the horse’s ass himself, Rush Limbaugh.

There is no excuse for Fox News to exist.  We need the Equivalent of the Weather Underground to teach them a lesson or two. This country needs a revolution.

Despicable.  If this doesn’t demonstrate that Fox News is in actuality nothing of the sort, I don’t know what does.  This sort of thing is totally inappropriate for any type of programming which professes to be a news broadcast.  Whoever was responsible for this should be terminated from his (or her) position and sent back to the playpen for a “time-out” since this behavior indicates all too clearly that’s where this person belongs.

When money keeps talking, everything white becomes black and vice versa.
