FOX News shows extreme bias in reporting Blagojevich report

[Jaundice James]

Source: Examiner.com

Despite the U.S. Attorney's office, long ago, saying that neither Obama nor his staff had done anything wrong, the media, especially the conservative media and conservative pundits, publicly wondered if Obama’s staff had any inappropriate contact with Governor Blagojevich. Fox News, rather than reporting what the U.S. Attorney actually said, continually presented it as if it were in question. That myth, and wishful thinking on the part of conservatives, was dispelled immediately with the information released from Obama’s office today.

But you wouldn’t know that if you paid a visit to the Fox News home page which proudly proclaimed:


"Obama Report Shows Top Aide Spoke to Blagojevich

Internal review says Obama's incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had multiple talks with Ill. gov's office"

4. surprised to see this in the Examiner

for those outside the San Francisco area; the Examiner used to be a good newspaper; now it's just a right wing rag; the columnists are horrible and the news coverage is equally as bad

it's a free paper so it's mostly ads

5. Breaking News from Fox

Blago and Obama are really the same person

[LiberalHeart]

12. How can that be true when we all know that Obama is Saddam? His middle name proves that.

[Spiffarino]

17. Get it straight. He's Bin Laden.

Obama rhymes with Osama! :scared:

Us liburuls fail to see the importance of that and it drives 'em nuts.

[Enthusiast]

19. And they're both Muslim terrorists! nt

[Piewhacket]

6. I wonder if O'Reilly still masterbates during his shows?

Its a question.
I wonder if all those whackjobs who are watching realize?
eewwww....
Another question.
I'm not so sure we want to know the answer.
But I should keep asking the question.
cuz I'm a "journalist". hey.

Candlelight vigil anyone?
(another question)

I'm so on a roll!

11. Thanks for that nice mental image.

The mere thought of O'Reilly pulling on his f--k stick means I sure as hell won't be doing much sleeping tonight!

[Piewhacket]

22. Pulling his pud? No, I assume...

his pud is far too small for anything like that.
gad, he'd have to use tweezers, for pity sake.

No, I was thinking more like he's sitting there with
that distant look, busy f*cking the living sh*t
out of his own mind.

That's the image I be thinking. hey.

7. Wouldn't it be normal for a senator to at least be consulted

about filling his seat?

There's no way in hell Obama did not at least suspect that Blagojevich was a crook, (and thus, apparently, wisely kept his distance); but I would think that any governor and Senator of the same party would be expected to at least TALK to each other a few times a year in the course of taking care of business.

9. HANNITY' AMERICA sure isn't MY AMERICA !

This is done ! The talking heads will start exploding now. It's so much fun to watch Fake Noise, it's better than Will & Grace sometimes. Fred Barnes is sure there's more to the story than what's being told...

http://www.wisecountyissues.com see the prosperity in Appalachia thanks to G R E E D and The Party of GOD.

13. FOX News showing Bias?? PUHHLLEEAAAZZZZZEEE

[silverojo]

14. Fox News? Biased?

File this in the "NO, DUH!" folder. :rofl:

[tom_paine]

15. Yawn. In other news, The Sun Rose Today.

This is just standard stuff. Nazi propagandists programming their unthinking Sturmtruppen with Today's Lies.

Yawn.

Has it been successful? The Propaganda Arm as well as the entire Bush Criminal Enterprise? Every aspect of the world is burning and looted, like a bank safe after a robbery.

We Report. YOU decide if they have been successful or not.

16. When their bais collides directly with the truth it is funny.

Like on election night.

[Julius Civitatus]

18. Don't forget CNN: Lou Dobbs has been nasty about this

insinuating some "hidden ties" between Obama's team and Blagojevitch.

The MSM are back to their old tricks. They were SCARED of Bush and Cheney, and kissed ass at every opportunity.
Obama has not been sworn in, and they are already walking all over him, trying to come up with fake scandals, liek they did to Clinton for 8 years.

The Obama team better come down hard on the Washington press lapdogs, and soon, before they make this their operating procedure. Maybe Rahm Emmanuel should take a page from the Bush people, because they knew how to keep the media under control.

[Alcibiades]

20. According to my Republican nutjob aunt

"The Democrats" were trying to auction off Obama's seat. I explained to her that it wasn't "the Democrats," but just Blago, and we are mad as hell at him.

21. On their scroll yesterday "No 'involvement" but are all questions answer?"

They promised a fair and balanced debate after the break :eyes:
