What also struck me at the 2:08 mark was the following polling question: "Who do you think is the more dangerous psychotalker? A-Palin, B-Bachmann." Would this kind of poll, with, for example, choices of Pelosi or Boxer, ever appear on Fox?
Oh, and hasta la vista, Rep. Congressman With Guts.
One has to love the internet just for exposing this kind of hypocrisy.
Indy could not be more spot on. Fox News would NEVER air such a partisan meanspirited poll.
The problem though, is that the rest of the media AND the White House and Democrats are constantly pushing the false narrative that Fox News isn't fair and balanced in its hard news, when it is the fairest of all the news channels. This narrative is having an effect. Fox News should be aware of that. I don't think it defends itself very well. Bush never defended himself of the false narratives of the liberals and look where it got him. It will take more than just us bloggers defending Fox News. Fox News needs to get on board with it.
Isn't there now talk that the new NBC ownership intends to blow up the uberliberal MSNBC format, once the network is actually sold? MSNBC is effectively a microchannel, and were I inheriting it as part of a larger buy, I certainly wouldn't leave it intact unless I were in need of some loss-leader.
Poor Grayson. He lost an election and now won't be one of the apoplectic minions at MSNBC now that Olbermann is coming back. Well, he has 99 weeks to figure out what his next job will be.
Oh, and seeing Rachel Maddow's hypocrisy was pretty sweet as well. :D
"We are not a political operation, Fox is. We are a news operation."
Where is the laughing avatar when it's needed?
Can't help but enjoy someone so smug being so wrong.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseMakes you wonder if the Olbermann suspension was just a con job to try to give them some cover on this.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOne wonders if the informed Ms Madow has had a chance to see this.
"Those nickels and dimes, those nickels and dimes, those nickels and dimes."
Gotta love editors.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThis needs to go viral -- I myself will post this to facebook. FOX does need to defend itself and have a weekly (at least) feature on MSM hypocrisy.
