Summary: John Fund disputed the assertion of a correlation between "the approval ratings of {President} Bush {and} the ratings of Fox News" by baselessly claiming that "Bush's ratings are up, and Fox {News}'s ratings are down." In fact, while Fox News ratings are indeed down, so are President Bush's.

On the October 3 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund disputed producer/director Robert Greenwald's assertion of a correlation between "the approval ratings of {President} Bush {and} the ratings of Fox News" by baselessly claiming that "Bush's ratings are up, and Fox {News}'s ratings are down." In fact, while Fox News' ratings are indeed down, the two most recent polls, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted September 30-October 2, and a CNN poll conducted September 29-October 2, both showed President Bush's approval rating declining from 42 percent to 39 percent. Moreover, Bush's approval rating in those polls is no better than a year ago.

3. The ignorant lemmings are the greatest blessing these monsters have

The religiously insane, incredibly proud garbage that mindlessly vote for republicans will believe anything a "conservative" says on faux or on the radio. They lack any intellectual curiousity, have no desire to know anything and are content to believe what they are told to believe. They are the number one domestic enemy of our constitution.
