More "fair and balanced" bullshit from Faux
Sorry, but I have to vent, vent I tell you!

So I was listening to "Coast to Coast AM" with George Noory tonight and the local radio station ran Faux News at the top of the hour. There was a story about how the governors of Arizona and New Mexico have executive authority to declare emergencies in counties being "overrun" by illegal immigrants. But in California, the Gropinator doesn't have such powers, though he wishes he had. The last line of the story: "Republicans are trying to fix it."

This presumes California law needs fixing, first of all. "Fix" implies there is a problem to start with, and that sounds like bias to me.

Of note also is that the governors of AZ and NM are Democrats. I guess the "fair and balanced" media is trying to point out that the Republicans want to "fix" the problem, too.

They reported, I decided: Once again, Fox has proven itself to be a pissant operation run by political operatives and catering to morans.
