1. haha heads will explode now!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Well, it took them long enough, now didn't it???

:eyes:

[WCGreen]

3. I heard Fox News was ready to recognize that gravity is what keeps

people from flying off the face of the earth...

[Hugabear]

6. I think they're still trying to determine if the earth truly is round

Maybe one of these days

[Skink]

7. Dude it's flat so we wouldn't fly off.

[jberryhill]

15. +1 - Why ever would anyone at FOX think anything was needed for that purpose

I mean, it's not like the earth is round and spins.

Bill O'Reilly can't explain the fucking tide, and we pretty much had that nailed down in the late stone age.

Even Egyptians had the Nile flood nailed down better than Bill O'Reilly out banging pots and pans whenever there is an eclipse.

[JackRiddler]

25. This would be a circular argument however.

Gravity is what we call something that undeniably operates but define variably as a force or an arrangement of the universe's n-dimensional geometry. Which doesn't change your point, really, but I can't help saying it because we don't know what it is, and certainly FOXNEWS would have nothing to contribute to a discussion of that.

4. Shepard Smith is a good person IMO. Not sure why he's at Fox, but he is a

good person IMO.

[Tx4obama]

8. I agree. I like him and watch his show when Tweety's repeat is on over at MSNBC. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. I think Fox is trying to dump the crazies. Why else would they be getting

rid of Beck & Palin? They served their purpose. Ailes knows this is a loser of an issue, so they're going to try introduce Romney as the sane choice. I think Romney will eventually be the nominee, but I'd sure like to see him & Trump go head to head.

[Hannah Bell]

29. trump is still insisting obama doesn't have a birth certificate.

and still implying he was actually born in kenya.

[RKP5637]

36. Yeah, I would like to see that too. "Romney and Trump go head to head." n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

40. I think Ailes is trying to let some of the air out of Trump's sails to make way for Romney.

Trust me, Romney will be the nominee.

[RKP5637]

42. Yeah, I think so too, Romney will be the nominee. He's also probably the

least craziest of the pack. n/t

[Amonester]

9. Wow. I won't go *there*, but I guess freeperville must be going...

*apeshit* crazier than *usual* .....

:rofl:

[ZombieHorde]

10. I just checked. Same level of craziness. nt

[Amonester]

13. Which *side* r they massively *banning* I wonder.

The eff-neeeuze bashers?

[jberryhill]

11. FOX has been a commie leftist news outlet to them for a while

You underestimate how far the swamp has been drained over there.

[octothorpe]

37. "Shepard Smith is an idiot" seems to be the theme over there.

But the far right has been saying that for awhile. I know for sure they were out against him when he was giving Beck a hard time for being a loon.

[struggle4progress]

12. They must have a new line ready: "Why won't Obama prove he never ate a baby?"

or something

[slay]

14. Shep Smith is way too intelligent for the dingbats who watch foxnews to believe

i'm amazed they even employ such a decent guy.

[Tx4obama]

24. I'm hoping that Shep will eventually end up on Current TV with Keith Olbermann :) n/t

[Lovette]

34. I'm sadden

knowing that I won't be able to see Keith Olbermann when he returns; I'm going to have to petition Wow cable to get "Current TV"

[Angry Dragon]

16. That has never been in dispute

[jberryhill]

18. Awwww.... don't start...... /nt

[Old and In the Way]

17. Trump forced the issue.

Fox would have been content, along with the rest of the serious Republican candidates, to let the idea percolate along within the base. We've seen lots of Republicans say, "well, I'm not really sure, but I understand how this could be an issue with the people..." . Trump made the issue way to hi-profile and threatened to make the entire 2012 primary about the birther issue. I'm sure Rove and Ailes realized that the time had come to get the silliness behind them. Now that Fox News has weighed in, the Birthers will be silenced on this issue. It will be interesting to see how Trump reacts to this news from the official Republican media organ.

[AsahinaKimi]

19. I wonder who pulled their chain to annouce that...

After all, Fox News Lies all the time. Is it in their best interest to go with the truth this time? They just punched Donald Trump in the nose.. I find it hard to believe that the people at Fox would just let this go.. they love conspiracy theories and anything that has to do with hating on the left.. in fact, I am surprised their headline doesn't read..

"FOX NEWS CONFIRMS OBAMA IS NOT FROM THIS PLANET!" FOX NEWS REPORTS, YOU DECIDE!

[Elwood P Dowd]

20. I actually watched Fox and Shep during Katrina, and he was going ballistic over what was happening.

Went over to Freepville, and they were dog cussing him. They wanted their death and destruction, and they wanted Fox as their cheerleader for it. It was sick.

[Mimosa]

21. Shep and even Geraldo were deep in the doo doo, in water to hips, advocating for the citizens who we

While CNN were afraid to get feet wet. In those dark days only Fox was hitting up all my neighbourhoods. And caring. I can't forget what they did then. :(

[eridani]

22. Too bad. The more exposure of wingnuttery, the better for us n/t

[MilesColtrane]

23. Fox News-clearly just another organ of Big Liberal Media

BWAa hah hah hah hah

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

26. Stop with the criticism - it's only been 2.4 years!

They DON'T HAVE a crystal ball, yknow.

[Tx4obama]

27. What are you talking about? n/t

[deacon]

32. lol! Yep, it only took them 2 1/2 years to get ONE thing right. n/t

[Skidmore]

28. So Rupert and The Donald are not BFFs.

[deacon]

30. And you know why and why now? Because the GOP wants to be rid of it. CNN too doing the same

thing by all of sudden ending their "investigation.". If the GOP wanted to continue the antics, Fox and CNN would oblige.

[slackmaster]

31. It was touch-and-go for a while there

I'm glad it all worked out.

[demwing]

45. delete

dupe

[underpants]

33. Ailes and Rove trying to take the wind out of Trump's sails

but gee thank you Fox News for finally definitely reporting on something that the real world knew years ago :eyes:

[MilesColtrane]

39. Yessiree

The GOP establishment doesn't want morons who might go off script, like Trump or Palin, anywhere near the White House.

It's OK for the Republicans to court the jibbering, batshit-crazy vote, but they don't want one of them in charge.

[Motown_Johnny]

35. Citizen, or Natural Born Citizen?

[jberryhill]

38. Well you see.. It ain't natural to have a white mother and an African father...

...so that there Obama cain't be no natural borned.

[The Second Stone]

41. They report we decide

How about they list the facts for once? They have finally decided that this issue is suicidal for them and their entire cause. So they just tell people what to think? Report the controversy. Who has benefited from this malarky?

[NoGOPZone]

43. We report, when we're good and ready nt

[ecstatic]

44. When their morning crew and Hannity repeat it, I'll be more

impressed. I'm guessing most birthers don't even watch Shep's show because he's not as crazy anymore.

[upi402]

46. Ok, so now I'm confused - does this mean Obama a Kenyan?

It used to be simple. Whatever Fox said, the opposite is true. But now?

[demwing]

47. When will Shep Smith finally come out of the closet?

and announce to the world that he's really a liberal?

[patricia92243]

48. So what is different that made them change their mind? It looks like Smith is saying the same old

thing that has always been said, so why is it different now - why was the stamped birth certificate not acceptable all along. Shows it is and has always been a bunch of nothing.

Wonder what Rush will have to say about it? Nothing will be official to the pubs until he give his pontifical blessing.

[AlinPA]

49. Roger Ailes will say that it was not a Fox "news" official statement. They are still birthers. nt
