4. Faux does all that so what is he trying to tell us?
Why brought that on from him? Was he knocking the "liberal" media for criticizing St. George again?

5. uhh, I'm counting 4 things
stage the news,

One

manipulate the news,

Two

use the news to make personal attacks,

Three
or use the network's newscasts to advance personal political positions.

and that makes four.

And isnt' John Gibson the guy from Faux news? Is he trying to steal froma Mony Python skit? Becuase if he really feels that way, he's working for the wrong people.

11. *giggle* the element of surprise. Surprise that his audience can count.
:rofl:

In response to John "Binky" Gibson I'll quote Robert DeNiro from 'Midnight Run'.

"I got two words for you. Shut the fuck up".

8. I know it's my pet peeve. I know it bothers no one else, but
the word "media" is a PLURAL noun.

"Three things the media AREN'T supposed to do"!!!!

The media ARE supposed to speak English, at least in this country.


Yet another reason to hate Gibson.


Okay. Done ranting.
