FoxNews doesn't get it. Re: Teresa's speech.
I didn't know anything about Teresa H. Kerry until tonight and I thought it was a brilliant move to give her a prominent position. But the FoxNews comentators are acting like misogynists who are intimidated by an intelligent woman. Has FoxNews been this clueless for the entire Democratic convention?

2. Fox News has not had a clue yet.
The whole Theresa Heinz Kerry phenomena goes right over their stupid little pinheads.

7. FoxNews doesn't really get it.
They act like intelligent women are a feminist thing that only older women will relate to. Egads!

4. We know not to expect them to... they don't want to and Murdoch
won't let them. They have their marching orders.

OMG
an asshole on Faux:

"As usual, Ms. Heinz spent most of her speech talking about herself. About 15 minutes in she finally mentioned her husband's name."

Dickhead. It's the reporter from Outfoxed who chatted with Bush about his wife campaigning. HATE. HIM.

9. What f'ing ree-tard! She was SUPPOSED to talk about herself.
To let people know a little more about herself.

Honestly, how stupid are they over there at Fox? Sheesh.

14. Before tonight, I had a totally different image of THK.
Now that I heard her speak, there is absolutely nothing that the conservatives have to say about her that will resonate with me. I sincerely believe that her foreign background gives her the edge we need to return us to an America that we all can be proud of. Many of us who were born outside of the U.S.A. grew up seeing what America was capable of doing through sheer goodness and because of it, some of us are just crying for an opportunity to return the kindness.

5. Chris Wallace, the sell out,
compared TH-K to Eva Peron. Said he was surprised she didn't sing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" at the end. What a fucking shill.

6. I didn't matter what she said or did tonight
They have their marching orders to go after her and make her into a reason not to vote for John Kerry. Period.

10. They have no sense of whom she is addressing
I got that she was talking to women and first generation citizens.

Those people got the message. FOX is too detached to get it.

13. Oh, they get it perfectly well!
Their orders that is.

Their orders are to bash the shit out of THK as much as they possibly can.

The guy who bashes her the most wins the box of cigars.

They don't give a shit about anything else. Why would you think otherwise?

15. But, they're not even close to reporting what she said.
They claimed that she never talked about John Kerry! What a boldface lie! I distinctly remember she said that John Kerry received his medals the old fashioned way. He put his life on the line for his country!

That's pretty powerful imagery there.

17. They. Don't. Care.
They are so beyond keeping up appearances, they are so transparent, they don't even attempt anymore to look like "journalists" or even human beings.

Could anyone imagine this discourse even ten years ago?

18. just in case you haven't heard of "Outfoxed"
www.outfoxed.org

Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. Read on >> www.outfoxed.org
