1. It demonstrates republicans are liars and their voters are breathtakingly stupid.

2. If you are dumb enough to be republican,

then they will believe FOX. Some how, I'm feeling like our country is on the road to ruin and will ripe for another war, not a CIVIL war, but a
POLITICAL war, but with real shooting (with gun makers cheering both sides on, just so they can make enough money to escape to another country).

3. But Rachel gets one point completely wrong.

"the Fox News channel wants to be seen as a real news organization. In fact, they demand to be seen as a real news organization." - RM

Not when their own Terms of Use clearly says their content is for their audience's enjoyment and entertainment...and not as you'd expect something to be about journalistic news.

Once you fully understand that entertainment is Fox's primary mission, then everything they do should be measured for its entertainment value. Yes, they use the word News in their title, but it's not a label they adhere to in the traditional sense. Fox News is but one additional arm of Fox Entertainment, whose purpose it is to "Entertain" its audience. And the latest Bill 'O flap, while true and scandalous, fits right into their model.

Just Google it.

4. The model is evil, with evil intent, what more analysis does one need?

Fox lies..every word is a lie, anything it writes, says or intends is ...a lie. The whole operation is one lie from top to bottom.

5. Rachel did a good job on O'Reilly's stupidity

6. Rupert Murdoch Miracle

He is some kind of genius actually taking the "Carny side show act" to incredible limits. He was able to falsely call what they do new's (I always thought should be illegal)...and convince low information people what they do is legitimate. Unfortunately here in America some of the population known as RepubliCONS actually like being lied to daily. Anyone old enough to remember "Wally George"...? Is seems it all started will Wally George maybe...these far right loon-bags just love ignoring facts, causing disruptive flow of legitimate information.This is the way of the master tactician puppet masters who want the collective public to be looking at the shinny object as another unjust law is passed in the middle of the night or other sleazy RepubliCON behavior that is all designed to benefit the few at the great cost of the many ...unjust wars for oil ...Military industrial complex, Lopsided Tax laws for the wealthy, It's all designed to pacify the lizard brain RepubilCON Public while keeping the people that know the truth busy chasing the problems caused by the obfuscation and "The Big Lie"...

7. That news organisations are rated
