[SharonAnn]

2. Good grief! She's completely unhinged! Don't bother watching this,

Faux News

[truth2power]

12. Child rapists???...

[southernyankeebelle]

32. SHE FIGURES IF SHE SCREAMS LOUDER THAT PEOPLE WILL

BELIEVE HER. WHAT A HACHET JOB SHE DID. HER POLLS ARE OF THE IDIOTS THAT WATCH FOX ONLY. SHE KEEPS FORGETTING THAT ACORN COOPERATED WITH OFFICIALS. WHAT A BITCH.

[Cheap_Trick]

3. Goddamn News Reader, pretending she's a journalist.

Oh, NOW they're concerned about voter fraud. After the weasel fuckers stole 2 of them.

Rot in hell, rat bastard republicans.

[tomm2thumbs]

4. Acorn can submit a list of acts of fraud committed by FOX employees now

all they need to do is go into public records & search the databases - no doubt there will be a LOT and they certainly have good reason to compare 'records' with the network that is attacking

[struggle4progress]

47. It looks like Fox is guilty of copyright fraud!

49. How many people is FOX wiretapping?

Ex-FX Exec Sentenced in Wiretapping Case
By Linda Haugsted -- Multichannel News, 1/4/2005 9:54:00 AM MT

Former Fox Cable Networks Group publicity executive Randolph Steven Webster has been sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay $22,607 in restitution to his former employer to resolve charges that he illegally listened in on weekly teleconferences at cable network FX and spread the information he gleaned ...

[Touchdown]

5. How does this woman sleep at night?

What a lying... well I can't say the "B" word here.:puke:

[jefferson_dem]

8. I was tempted to place that word in the subject line.

I wonder if we could have been granted an exemption this one time because that shoe so fits.

[galloglas]

6. What a crunt she is!!

[Touchdown]

17. Hey! Not fair!

I didn't say the "B" word and you get off scott free for saying THAT???!!!

I want your protection racket!

[burning rain]

37. Huh? Galloglas conflated...

"Crunchy" and "runt," OK, kinda peculiar, but innocent enough. :-)

[moez]

7. He did a good job....

but, man - he comes off really smarmy. I've run into salesmen like him in the past and I always feel a little slimy when I'm done.

[NavyDavy]

15. not smarmy he was trying to shut the faux cretin up so he could

make his point it was a few workers from ACORN not ACORN it self that done these things....

[ProfessorPlum]

9. holy shite, that was the most annoying clip I've ever seen

damn. I want those 7 minutes back. What a waste. I mean, good for that guy for not backing down, but wow.

[jefferson_dem]

11. This is what "news" has come to for some.

It's no surprise FauxNews troglodyte viewers snake around calling the president a socialist, terrorist, Kenyan-born whatever.

[ihavenobias]

10. Cenk is dead right, Kelly is TOTALLY angling for a primtime commentary show on Fox.

I mean, she's clearly not doing news. And she meets all of the Fox requirements:

Insanely biased in favor of conservatives? Check.

Hot? Check.

That's all they care about.

[Quantess]

13. She's like a better looking, female, version of Sean Hannity!

[howmad1]

31. Hmmm, wonder what casting couch she used to get her job.

[wackywaggin]

14. Two bit tramp pretends to be a journalist

should be the headline of this article. Same old stale Repig tactics of saying outrageous lies hoping to catch an innocent spokesperson saying something inappropriate then putting it all over their news stations. She should be fired.

:smoke:

PS. I am a hired census supervisor.Found out a couple of days ago.

[Touchdown]

18. She's a circus act... a whore.

They hired her because of her hair, her face and her rack. The fact that she never learned basic manners and interrupts incessantly is a bonus for Fox.:eyes:

[T Wolf]

16. Someone just shut that Fucks reader up permanently. This, as much as any example,

proves you cannot carry on any kind of rational discussion with a rethug.

It is a waste of time to try.

For those who say that the POS is hurting her side, I think you are dead wrong.

Those who want to believe Fux and their shit will see and hear that the ACORN spokesman "did not answer" her question. Not even the physical evidence (the tape) will dissuade them from their faith-based ideology.

They must be shut down. And since Murdoch is too rich to be affected and the network is too powerful, the only targets remaining are the men and women who spew the lies.

Make them afraid to go on the tube and lie. Make them suffer consequences personally for their actions. Shut them up for good. When they replace one talking head with another, shut them up as well.

The first amendment does not give free rein for all speech. If you say that they must be allowed to lie without consequences under some "free speech" bullshit, I would say they are yelling fire in a crowded theater and this particular speech is not protected.

[Wetzelbill]

19. I like how she never shut up and then got mad

at him for supposedly talking over her. She was going to cut his mic and everything, lol.

[TEXASYANKEE]

20. No wonder Rachel is so popular.

I watch Rachel every single night. Why? Because of thoughtful, UNINTERRUPTED dialogue. I couldn't watch more than a minute and half of this yellfest. How can anyone watch Faux News??? It's always yelling and screaming and lies. Blah!

[GrantDem]

21. This isn't the first time that she has came unhinged...

anytime she is challenged she loses it.

[Ezlivin]

22. Her two brain cells are at war with each other

And soon the silicone in her breasts will rise up to rule them all.

[realitythink]

23. Wow.. she's not very nice

[20score]

24. It's Babe O'Reilly! She does look better than Billo, but she slides down the 'Looks' scale with

every word. (Okay, I get credit if that nickname catches on.)

[EnviroBat]

25. What a complete fucking asshole.

Fascist bimbot. Fox propagandist whore.

[bookman]

26. She's no journalist.

Fox News. What a joke!

[Hulk]

27. And that pathetic network is proud of her acting "the bitch"...

What a total clown. she thinks she did good. The propaganda network pats her on the head....and the lame viewers think that ACORN is filled with child rapist felons who are committing massive voter fraud.

Nice going fox.....your viewers are for sure the dumbest and most ill-informed in the country...thanks to sniping bitches like this wench.

[Butch350]

28. Drop Megyn an email....

[e-mail]

[thereismore]

29. I hate her. But Acorn did hire these workers who did some stuff. Saying that Acorn is not

responsible is a lie. They should suck it up and say it's not going to happen. Then somebody like this whore would shut up.

[tomm2thumbs]

38. in fighting, its best to take a bunch and turn that energy into your return shot

which he kinda didn't do - I woulda said '18 individuals out of 450,000 Acorn workers is not perfect, but it's better than Fox's percentage' hahahahaha, or better yet, use the Catholic Church - ask her if he thinks the entire church is bad given the literally hundreds of priests who have molested children? Does she think the entire Church is useless then?

[Wetzelbill]

55. ACORN turned them in

and then cooperated with the authorities because they hired these people and they didn't do their jobs.

[truthrocks]

30. Everyone will HATE this, but I gotta speak the truth . . .

. . . as I see it.

Believe me, I have nothing but contempt for Fauxnews, but that guy was a terrible spokesperson for acorn (or for anybody). The only thing he accomplished was showing that he, too, is endowed with a hefty dose of the pompous-obnoxious-bully factor, along with the best/worse of fauxnews. Period.

He did nothing to defend acorn, he just repeated pre-prepared mantras - "does fox new get blamed when someone steals from fox" ... blah, blah, blah. He had plenty of opportunity to clearly state acorn's position on the fraudulent workers and refute the charges that were being hurled at acorn. Instead, he chose to engage a let's-see-who's-the-biggest-jerk mud fight and let fauxnews have the last word, clearly repeating the charges, with no one to defend acorn.

just my 2 cents . . . :think:

[trumad]

33. Your 2 cents are worth a bucket of shit.

[wackywaggin]

34. You're right!!

He really was not a good spokesperson for ACORN in his responses. Best to remain cool and calm when FOX personnel act up, to make them look like the ones out of control. Both were out of control and I could not even watch the entire video.

:smoke:

[raystorm7]

40. Agreed. I wasn't impressed. First mistake these guys make is to go on Fox News in the first place...

Now who is the real idiot?

STOP GOING ON FUCKING FOX NEWS!

[Dollface]

35. Compare this to a Rachel Maddow interview. No one who watches that can be interested in the truth.

There really is no point in appearing on Faux. But she was so pissed when he used her "never STFU" technique that it was kind of rewarding. "Do I have to cut your mic?" Now that's journalism.

[The Wizard]

36. That woman is a vile

piece of crap. Anyone watching Pox to be informed is an idiot

[DFW]

39. No one watches Faux to be informed

They watch to get their RW talking points, they watch to learn how to shout down someone
with a point of view that differs from yours, or they watch it to remind themselves how
dangerous a trained bunch of propagandists are when presented in pretty packages to please
the brain-dead.

I hope Obama's FCC sees this and remembers the "I'll cut your microphone" routine when the
the time comes to renew their license to present newscasts. There is no one out there, either
for or against this station who thinks it is anything BUT a propaganda broadcaster for the
extreme right wing element of American politics. It is about time someone enforced the Truth
In Advertising laws of the country and made them admit it.

[Touchdown]

44. They're cable, which means they're untouchable.

They don't broadcast using public airwaves, they broadband using cable corporation's wires and feeders.

Without a law governing cable content, they're not going to be reprimanded for anything.

The first bill I would pass, is a law that says "You can't call yourself a news service if less that 30% of your content is actual news." Forcing Fox News to call themselves Fox Something Else.

[LynnTheDem]

53. PERFECT point! And very FACTUAL.

"No one watches Faux to be informed."


FOX VIEWERS AMONG THE MOST MISINFORMED
http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/IraqMedia_Oct03/IraqMedia_Oct03_rpt.pdf


Rightwignnuts LIKE being lied tricked duped conned.

[DUlover2909]

41. Here's a good way to thwart aggression like hers:

The Acorn guy could sit there and smile benignly while the news-model attacks with her facts about Acorn employees fraud cases and guilty pleas. He responds by saying, "No, I'm not aware of any of that." She would persue her attack and he could respond again, while smiling, "Not to my knowledge." Just keep lying right back to her as she tries to manipulate the topic of conversation. He's not under oath. He could just flat out deny her facts and offer nothing to her viewers and just waste her time by smiling and acting like he doesn't know anything and it was pointless to have him on.

[olegramps]

42. She is just another disgusting Republican bitch.

I don't know when it is going to boil over and some of these lying Republican whores get what is coming to them. No I am not advocating violence, but I can sure see how it could happen.

[Reform]

43. In what country did that woman...

kill that leopard?

[Gamey]

45. China, as in Made In, or From

[kaygore]

46. I never watch Faux News--if this woman is an example--how pitiful

Rude
Dumb as dirt
Uninformed


Just plain stupid

How very sad that this passes for "news"!

[depakid]

50. Fox should be divested of its broadcast licenses over repeated behavior like this

Lack of media accountability is THE single overriding problem in America. It's led to every other major polcy debacle over the last 10 years.

[LynnTheDem]

51. ANSWER THE QUESTION MEGHAN!!! If Faux WORKERS steal from Faux,

do we BLAME FAUX???

Do we call FAUX a THIEF???

ANSWER THE QUESTION MEGHAN!

Fuckin' 'ell, rightwingnuts are MFing assholes.

[LynnTheDem]

52. By the way, Faux "News"; your headline is a LIE.

Acorn is in fact NOT the target of ANY voter fraud registrations.

THAT is a FACT.

[Thrill]

54. She is so rude to everyone. Shes an ugly person

[Nostalgic]

56. of course she won't be sacked for unprofessionalism

this kind of confrontation brings in the ratings, so faux should be happy.

[rooboy]

57. Faux viewers only watch Megyn Kelly to beat off anyway. n/t
