I stopped by FAUX "news"
What a channel surfing mistake!

Can you believe the denial there regarding the Plame leak?

The "commentator" was going on and on with the GOP talking points while the "anchor" just nodded and gave affirming response noises.
Funny how the "commentator" started off by saying that it was a "boring" topic and wondered why they should even talk about it. He then proceeded to talk about it.
:wtf:

What a sick TV station.
We need to reinstate the "Fairness Doctrine".

1. When they say it's boring
It's a slick way of influencing the brainwashed dittoheads who watch.

5. Pay no attention to the scandal behind the curtain
That sad thing is that it seems to work.

2. Gotta send the faithful out with their daily dose of BS
Anything approaching the ugly reality of the crimes of the BFEE must be ignored or dismissed.

Shiny keys!! Shiny keys!! Look over here!! See? Shiny!!

3. Shows their true colors and they aren't the ones of the flag they so
proudly and constantly claim. What was done in the Plame leak has harmed our country and its ability to gather intelligence on WMD's. (They must have long forgotten what the administrations original excuse to go to war was. That is understandable there have been so many.) The testimony of the former agents really highlighted the damage done. Anyone still sticking up for those responsible are not true patriots.

4. So What Are Today's Talking Points?
We're joyfull Fauxless...and my appreciation for those who put on the hazmat suit to soak up that toxicity.

So what's today's meme? Sounds like the first one is "this is boring, isn't there something else to talk about"? If that's all they have, this is gonna be a fun week...that means they're running out of their own spin to be spun with. But that's like asking an alcoholic if they've had enough to drink.

So what are the points today? Wilson's still an asshole? Plame was an agent, but she wasn't the agent they say she was, so no big deal? Rove and Libby are heros since they heard this leak and THEY reported it (I actually heard that one the others day) to Fitzgerald and, if there's a conflict in stories it's Russert and Cooper who are in big trouble.

Usually I catch the planted calls on C-SPAN...those are usually the ones that start out with "I used to be a Democrat..."

8. EVERY progressive should cancel subscriptions...
to ALL MSM magazines...it's not like you'll be missing any real reporting, and maybe it will send a message.

9. BS
Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 08:24 AM by startingnow
They are so far up to their necks in BS it's actually funny. Now people can see the true liars that they are. Bush could put a gun to someone's head, blow their head off-- on camera mind you, and they would still attempt to spin it.

Anyone else get the feeling that they're paid actors? It's like wrestling.

10. Once in a while one of the anchors on" fox and friends"
Makes a statement that sounds incrementally to the left of the other two
and when the other two bust him/her on it they get this "deer in the headlights" look like thay are going to be dragged off by the secret police.Would be funnier if that network wasnt so dangerous.
