1. Man! The "FOAX" interviewer must be reading her own press releases!

FABMA!!! ("Fair and Balanced," My Ass!!!)

What is she bucking for? Bill O'Reilly's spot?

[MindMatter]

62. This was a terrible interview. Why is it so hard to state the obvious?

Every tax bill, and almost every law passed by Congress involves financial decisions. ALL governments "redistribute the wealth".

The only important questions are FAIRNESS and EFFICACY.

The Bush/McCain tax cuts for the most wealthy are a massive redistribution of wealth and those policies are neither fair nor beneficial to the economy.

Simple truth, the rich did better under Clinton.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. What a tool.

[wtmusic]

3. Poor dear forgot her meds.

It will all be over in a week honey.

[Kookaburra]

4. If she would just eat some carbs every once in a while

maybe she wouldn't be so unpleasant.

Just sayin'...

[yellowcanine]

5. Notice she had no response to the point about McCain opposing the Bush tax cuts.

Major fail by the Fox News Barbie doll.

[wtmusic]

8. Notice also she interrupts whenever Burton scores a point

That's Laura Ingraham's technique...must do whatever it takes to stop the bleeding

[yellowcanine]

15. Haven't heard much out of Laura the Right Wing Babe this cycle. Could it be she is not a Sarah fan?

Oh the humanity!

[wtmusic]

21. She was filling in for Billo

and barking like this twit. She has to defend Sarah, or after 11/4 it's back to fringe squawk radio and Alaska, respectively.

[ensho]

6. gosh that fox woman's mouth never stopped

glad I never watch fox

[KurtNYC]

16. Note to self: If I ever go on Fox for an interview, bring small signs

to hold up on my side of the split screen while she asks and answers her own leading questions.

Signs will say:

"what she is saying is not true"
"you call this an interview?"
"watch a REAL news channel"
"If you can handle the truth change the channel"

[Peggesis1]

22. signs are a great idea

Those signs should be issued to anyone who appears on FAUX news. <smile>

[Richard D]

27. That would be hilarious! n/t

[Cha]

39. Excellent IDEA...they'd have

to smuggle the signs in but it would be worth a shot.

I made the mistake of attempting to watch that video in another forum last night and could only get so far by muting that screaming barbed wire out. It was interesting watching Bill Burton's face, though..I'd never seen him before. Just heard his name and read what he's said.

[freeradicalm]

7. Once again...

Why does anybody from OUR side even give Faux Noise any hint of credibility by showing up on that program to be interrupted talked over etc. Even Ed Shultz went on there, and his getting up and walking off was a proper response to the loud talking interruptions, but my point is that he should not have acknowledged even their EXISTENCE and gave them NO CREDIBILITY by going on the air with them. Boycott Fox and ALL advertisers. :banghead:

[jhrobbins]

35. I have thought this for a long time - I just don't get why people go

on fox-especially shows like Hannity's and O'Reilly's knowing in advance that they are going to be abused, dismissed and shouted down. Makes no sense to me - I guess I'm not seeing the bigger picture.

[knixphan]

55. Yes.

BOYCOTT.

Starting November 5th!

[nyc 4 Biden]

9. That was very entertaining.

Bill Burton kicked her arse!

[Gato Moteado]

10. what poll is she referring to that shows a majority of people think....

...that fox news is the most fair and balanced? i've never seen any such poll.

[nyc 4 Biden]

13. Must be an AOL poll. n/t

[freeradicalm]

14. Most People..

who never go to their website, or watch the show would know anything about it, it's just basically the ditto-heads, which shows the IQ of their audiences, straight out of a palin rally. That would be the voters in the polls that they relate.

[Quantess]

29. If there were ever a poll,

it would be that the majority of loyal FOX viewers think FOX news is the most fair and balanced.

[AlbertCat]

34. Post from the YouTube site....

This might help to explain what she is LYING about

BTW. She is lying about the Rasmussen poll. The majority of REPUBLICANS feel that Fox news is the least biased, NOT Americans.

Rasmussen also says that 87% of FoxNews viewers will vote for McCain.

That shows you how "unbiased" they are.

Do you really think 87% of Americans want McCain??

[Native]

11. Burton was great!

[husky92]

19. Bimbo Personified

I agree with the person who posted earlier. Why do Dems continue to go on any of Fox's crap. All they are going to get is confrontation and it isn't going to change anything with voters. Fox's viewers are probably 95 percent Republicans. They ought to be going on shows that have an impact. Fox just wants someone to beat up on. You watch Hannity and Colmes and Colmes gets rolled over everytime when they bring on the likes of Rove, Morris and all the Republican's cheerleaders. I hope when Barack gets in office he tells them to kiss his derriere!

[knixphan]

54. ditto on the derriere!

[Xipe Totec]

12. He really got under her skin

I love it! :rofl:

[wtmusic]

17. "Megyn Kelly Destroys Obama Spokesman Bill Burton Over Fox News"

same video on YouTube, different title :crazy:

[donheld]

18. Trying to be the female Bill O'Reilly

[Just-plain-Kathy]

20. I never saw that woman before, she reminds me of a repuke neighbor I have. ...n/t

[tblue37]

43. She reminde me of Elizabeth Hasselback on _The View_.:

always shrieking to drown out the other person's voice.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

52. Did you see EH introduce Sarah Palin? It was like EH was a blond clone of SP's. n/t

[ooglymoogly]

23. Bill Burton swept this Laura Ingraham wannabee under the

rug into a smelly heap of tired talking points. He should run for congress. He is brilliant. He checked her at every political speech and interruption she made and then check mated her in the end. Very entertaining. KR

[1corona4u]

24. I left my comments on Youtube, since I can't use that word here...

:-)

[jeff30997]

25. Can you give us a clue ?

Is that word beginning with the letter C or the letter B ? :)

[1corona4u]

42. A BIG 'C'....

:-)

[jeff30997]

46. Lol.

Oh,now I C what you mean. :D

[knixphan]

56. I C as well. And Concur.

[goB]

26. very funny as usual

[Jack Rabbit]

28. We don't have an agenda, Bill

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RainDog]

30. by gritting my teeth, I was able to watch this segment

however, I would not watch Fox News if you paid me to do so. That woman makes me want to puke. What a lying sack of shit.

Wish he had brought up the Pew Poll about Fox News viewers being the least informed viewers in this nation.

It's only socialism if the democratic candidate says something. That's fairly unbalanced to me.

Oh, I want Obama to win by such a landslide the Fox assholes' heads will explode.

I think we should call it "Taint News."

[onlyadream]

31. Fox the most unbiased?? Really?

I find that very hard to believe, unless the poll was biased.
And remember, just because people think something is true, doesn't mean that it is.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

32. What a ditz!!!

Crash and burn, baybee. Crash and burn. :rofl:

[AlbertCat]

33. she doth protest too much, methinks

Good lord! Is this a segment about McCain and Obama or Fox News? Why is Fox so defensive? And about what? Socialism?! WTF! Could the Obama Team HAVE A POINT HERE?



My barber was ranting about socialism the other day. I said "Socialism? You haven't even thought of the word for decades now, and all of a sudden, it's the most important thing in your life. What is Socialism? Can you define it? Here, I'll give you a perfect example of Socialism: NO-BID CONTRACTS."

36. Funding sources on the CMFA that she mentioned

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=109x35271

The CMPA is largely funded by the Four Sisters -the funding foundation of the modern conservative movement.

Informative links about each of the Four Sisters is at the Wikipedia link that follows

Media Transparency documents that between 1986 and 2005 CMPA received 55 grants totaling $2,960,916 (unadjusted for inflation).<6> The data reveals that the overwhelming proportion of CMPA's funding comes from conservative foundations.

The funding information, covering 1986-2005, lists the following donors (note: all figures are unadjusted for inflation):

* Carthage Foundation, part of the Scaife Foundations - $512,000 from 8 donations
* the Earhart Foundation contributed $120,000 in six grants between 1999 and 2003;
* John M. Olin Foundation - $730,000 from 15 donations between 1986 and 2001;
* Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation - $250,000 nine grants over the period between 1989 and 1995;
* Sarah Scaife Foundation, part of the Scaife Foundations - $760,000 from 9 donations spanning the period between 1991 and 2003; and
* Smith Richardson Foundation - $416,916 from 3 donations between 1998 and 2001;

Thus, out of the total of $2,960,916 in foundation grants, nearly all of it ($2,668,916) came from just four sources: the John M. Olin, Scaife, and Smith Richardson foundations. In other words, CMPA received 86% of its foundation funding from those four donors. Here is a sample of other right-wing causes funded by these 3 donors, as listed by their respective SourceWatch articles:

* John M. Olin Foundation - American Enterprise Institute, Project for the New American Century
* Scaife Foundations - American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation
* Smith Richardson Foundation - American Enterprise Institute, Hudson Institute

According to Salon journalist Joe Conason, the availability of this information does not indicate an openness on the part of the Center for Media and Public Affairs. In a Jan 2003 exchange of views with Lichter, Conason said "The IRS form 990 returns filed by center redacts the names of all the individuals and organizations that contribute to it, thereby concealing them from public scrutiny. But the watchdogs at Media Transparency have collated the 990 returns filed by the conservative foundations, which disclose their contributions to Lichter's outfit."<3>

37. fox new the world's MOST BIASED TV

Who gave them this unbiased thing ? I mean, who ever has a brain on earth understands for who they are working to ...

[SavageDem]

38. Bill was out-STANDING!

Man, he handled that perfectly. Didn't let her rattle him, kept his point going through her slavering over-talk, smiled the sardonic grin to annoy her, and stayed on-message throughout.

I loved it!

[tblue37]

44. She actually scolded him like a third-grade teacher,

"You know I don't appreciate the sarcasm. We don't put up with that here!"

How obnoxious for a so-called reporter/interviewer!

[knixphan]

40. We SO have to get people to stop watching Fox.

I mean, like 'bus boycott'-style intervention. Maybe with a real President in office, we can turn our energy to full on ANTI-FOX warfare, getting all of our friends and loved ones off the fox.

[totaljg]

41. All I can say is

C
U
Next
Tuesday!

[jeff30997]

47. Hehehe.

Yep,I cunt wait for next Tuesday.:P

[go west young man]

45. Bill did excellent.

That fellow Dem's is how it should be done every time when dealing with Faux. (which incidentally Dem's are better off not doing at all.) His sarcastic line was funny as hell and her head seemed like it may implode at any moment. Great stuff.

[MissMillie]

48. wow, does she suck

ok... that was obvious.

[mrbarber]

49. "I read emails from democrats and Independents...."

What "Democratic or independent" would waste their time e-mailing Fox News?

And "We don't tolerate sarcasm"? Wow, I guess she's never had to sit through O'Reilly before, huh?

[hootinholler]

50. Tragically, teh tube is blocked at teh work. n/t

[specialed]

51. She may just as well have stomped up and down crying and wining..

I work for a real news agency! I do! I do! I do! You pooty head.

what an idiot.

[dbmk]

53. Its clear: She wants to jump his bones

[Divine Discontent]

57. is that Ann Coulter??? I think it is... husky soundin' lil thing, isn't she?

WOOF! LOL.. what a whiny cry baby she is - and she interrupts a lot.

DONCHA just lovvvvvve the amount of whine and slime coming out of the McCain backers here in the last week???? it's amazing!

[knixphan]

58. If their ratings drop, would be bad for them, yes?

Makes me wanna just buy 100 copies of OUTFOXED and start mailing them out to people...

We need to figure out how to concentrate our fire on this dark tower.

[Ian_rd]

59. Wow. The Right is completely freaking out. They are terrified.

Their grip on power is in serious trouble. This video is a perfect illustration of what's going on within the Right. I heard Sean Hannity on the radio say, among other things, that an Obama victory would be the "end of freedom." And all over the evangelical networks is the message that Obama is an enemy of God. The rhetoric is at a level that I never thought possible - to the point that I fear for my country more now than I did in 2004.

If Obama wins, their grip on the minds of millions will vanish. If McCain wins, the manipulation of the American people will be worse than anything we've seen yet. This is the moment when we either slip into the kind of propaganda spell of Nazi Germany, or we continue the swing back to sanity that started when Katrina hit the coast.

[knixphan]

60. damn straight!

[depakid]

61. Poster child for media divestment and re-regulation

Trying to be a female Bill O'Lielly.

[agentS]

63. He was a LOT nicer than I would have been

I would've brought up the "terrorist fist jab", the Color of Change protest petition, and the endless drumbeat of Obama/Ayers/Farrakhan ties. I would have also brought up their lack of reporting on McCain's ties to the Georgian conflict, and their general lack of reporting on any Palin screwup.
