FOX NEWS: They distort their own April Fool’s Poll…

[meegbear]

This is too much…Phoenix Fox 10 News runs a poll to see who is "the most foolish American" and the host proclaims—Britney Spears the winner! That wouldn't be surprising except that the real winner of the poll was…..drum roll please……George Bush….

What's that Richard Pryor joke: "Who are you going to believe me–or your lying eyes?" I believe Groucho Marx originated the quote…(h/t Paul)

1. I'm surprised they even had the guts to include Chimpy.

4. I wouldn't be surprised if he weren't even on the ballot...

...but he still won by write-in.

2. Did you hear them kind of pause when they realized that Bush was the highest right there for

everyone to see - like they weren't expecting that graphic to come up or something. Heh.

3. Man, talk about burying the lead...

6. I find it interesting that they didn't put them in order

As if they knew it was going up on the screen and that were planning do it that way. How stupid is that?

8. What IS the point

(of running these polls)?

They might as well just make it up.

12. You mean they don't already? n/t

9. Hey, this is a first!

Dubya actually won an unrigged election! ;-)

(Yeah, I know he was elected Guv here in Texas.)

[CJCRANE]

10. They might as well just say

"the most foolish American is...YOU, for watching this pathetic excuse for a news channel".

11. That is priceless! I can hardly believe Fox Fraudcasting would let that slip

by! Bet somebody loses his/her job over that one.
