FauxNews

JD, have you watched the other networks since Obama was elected? Is the President's dog really more newsworthy than the state of the economy? Do I need to see Brian Williams with his head so far up Omama's rear end that the President could brush his teeth while doing his own?

You seem to have a hatred for Fox. If you don't like it, don't watch it. No one forces you to keep it on that channel. Fox is the lone major network that caters to conservatives. They run stories that will resonate with their viewers just as the more liberal networks do the same with their programming. It's funny how all the Obama defenders have such short memories. They don't remember how much Bush was bashed and ripped on the same news programs that now suck up to the new President. But, when one station dares to criticize the Chosen One, they are evil and liars and not worthy of being on the air.

I don't watch the national news programs much because they run too many puff pieces. I watch the local news shows at night because I want to know what's going on in my area. Sometimes I watch Fox, sometimes channel 7 - it depends on what time I want to watch.

I find a difference between blatant fabrications, like the supposed Obama-Muslim connection and criticism/speculation. I'd never deny that the other news stations are selling tickets to the "I Love Obama Show" and much of it I disagree with.

The media blows, the radio (and fox) is so far right the one sidedness is sickening, then TV is left to the nth degree, its' a no win.

BUT ......

Sookie is fine fine fine, with plentiful tt shots, I'm looking forward to next sundays True Blood.

If you like blatant fabrications, see the post above about Dan Rather. Or what about the NYT and kerry's "swift boat" incident. Plenty of liberal media ran lies about Kerry without fact checking them.

And even though Obama is not a Muslim, he was born to a Muslim father. And coincidentally, he used his middle name (which is a common Muslim name) when addressing the crowd in Cairo last month. Maybe he uses it only when he thinks it will get him in good graces with Muslim countries? So, you can easily draw connection between Obama and the Muslim faith. Not really a big leap for a news station trying to get their viewers riled up about something.
