Panic at FauxNews??
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 01:21 AM by damkira
I just watched that swarmy little bastard Neil Cavuto. All he talked about was withdrawal from Iraq and he had 4 guests in a row -- all of which opposed withdrawal. Usually they will have a token liberal or moderate.

Is this a sign of panic amongst the Republican elite or just at FauxNews because they know their rednecked viewers won't watch their programming if there isn't a war?

The fact is, the public is no longer buying what they're trying to sell.

Anyway, I think it's a good sign and it clearly shows that the momentum is toward a troop withdrawal.

1. The Worm Turns ... on the Fox.

They are simply mirroring the desperation of the administration, who are finding that the techniques they have used for five years are not working anymore.

2. the "war" is the engine that runs the neocon agenda
it's how they steal

it's how they scare the masses into letting them stay in power

no war and John and Jane Murkan will notice how much things suck in the "greatest country on earth" after 5 years of repuke rape.

3. I seldom look at Faux News, but...
whenever I've checked out their reaction after more BushCo nonsense has come to light, there is always a scroll at the bottom of the screen that says " << TERROR ALERT HIGH >> " !

Yeah, they're terrified that the sheeples may catch a whiff of truth!

4. I'm sure it was "fair and balanced"...
One guest who would withdraw once they became a christian theocracy...
One guest who would withdraw once they ran out of oil...
One guest who would withdraw once they ceeded all personal rights to coporations...
One guest who would withdraw once the rest of the region was filled with "democracy" (see corporations)...

See! They don't just offer one point of view! It's fair and balanced, presenting all sorts of wingnut views!

:sarcasm:

5. Bleeeh I was just watching that. Their text was "Will cutting and running
in Iraq hurt the market?" or something like that. I just DESPISE those so-called "issue questions." Just like when MSNBC ran the text "Dean Campaign in Downward Spiral?" BEFORE anyone was talking about that.

6. I was actually talking about something earlier...
but here again, 3 guests. All against withdrawal. They are really worried about it.

7. Oh, well. I missed that...I just clicked over to Faux to see how they had
handled the situation today and wasn't really watching but did catch the text.

You're probably right. Whenever they go (sorry for the sexist cliche) "balls to the wall" it's a sure sign they're worried. Just like the rest of the repukes/neocons. It's a good sign.
