(m)Ann Coulter Pulls Back the Fox News Curtain
Ann Coulter Pulls Back the Fox News Curtain

Ann Coulter's latest article is on the Democratic CNN/YouTube debate, and it's not very good. Mostly it's about how Barack Obama claims to have had a hard time getting a cab in New York City, and that's probably a lie (because Guiliani fixed that problem, apparently. But it's the first paragraph of the article that I find most revealing.

Fox News ought to buy a copy of Monday's Democrat debate on CNN to play over and over during the general election campaign. For now, the Democratic candidates need to appeal only to their nut-base. So on Monday night, the candidates casually spouted liberal conspiracy theories that would frighten normal Americans, but are guaranteed to warm the hearts of losers blogging from their mother's basements.

For the record, I am not blogging from my mother's basement, which would be quite a feat in more ways than one.

For another, doesn't this make it clear, for those with any doubts, whose side Fox News is on?

1. Why hasn't FOX hired Coulter?
They're not that stupid.

2. Has Fox ever denied being a GOP mouthpiece?
I don't watch much, but they really don't try to hide it.

6. Problem is.. truth is not balanced
Edited on Thu Jul-26-07 08:57 AM by C_U_L8R
truth does firmly take a side.

Faux seems to believe they have the obligation
to present the opposite side of the truth.

5. "losers blogging from their mother's basements"
Edited on Thu Jul-26-07 08:56 AM by BullGooseLoony
Ha ha! If that phrase wasn't such a cliche by now, I'd accuse her spending a little too much time online herself and plagiarizing the same losers she is making fun of.

What a great writer she is!



BTW, it's common knowledge- pretty well accepted as a given- that Fox News is right-wing propaganda. Maybe a small percentage of their viewers still don't quite get it, but most of them watch fully understanding of what is being fed to them.

I can't watch faux without having a string of small strokes.

Well, all I can say is, good for them.

(m)Ann Coulter. Funny.
