Fox reports that "coalition troops" killed the Italian security officer,
and wounded reporter Giuliana Sgrena. Funny, whenever something occurs that Fox regards as positive in Iraq (read, lots of dead brown people), it's always as a result of actions taken by "American GIs" or "U.S. led forces". Today it's the "coalition". Shit, even the Washington Times admits that it was American soldiers who lit the poor bastards up. The clowns at Fox don't even try to pretend anymore.

2. There really isn't a whole lot of reason for them to pretend anymore
Pretty much anybody with a brain knows that Fox is GOP propaganda. Even many Republicans will admit it.

3. I'm wondering...
... if some of Fox's recent posturing is because they've
realized that by being so partisan they are exposed to
the F.E.C. and *all* of their air time should be reported
as... Campaign contributions.

4. Good thought. My hope is that they continue so far down the path
they have chosen, that eventually even the right-wing, drooling, knuckle-dragging, fundie wackos who comprise most of their audience will one day tune in to "Fox Reports" and be forced to say, "Aw, shit, that ain't right".

5. Does Fox say attack on Italians was deliberate like Turkish Press does?
I doubt you will hear this on Fox:

"US attack against Italians in Baghdad was deliberate: companion."
