When I hear FOX news misuse words, abuse words
and use terms and phrases that make you go "HUH!??"
it comes as no surprise.
Well, the post was funny up to here. Can you give any real examples
where Fox is saying things that don't make sense;
FOX
Fair and Balanced
Whole new meaning for the word "fair".
Whole new meaning for the word "balanced".
If you have to keep reminding people that you're
"fair" and "balanced" there's a good chance that
you have to keep saying that to get people to
believe things you're saying that dont' seem to
be either fair, or balanced.
Ever hear of a advertising slogan or motto? When my laundry detergent of
choice keeps repeating springtime fresh do I take exception that it is
winter no matter how many times I wash my shop rags?
If you've watched Hannity & Combs - even once
you recognize the "are you still beating your wife?"
style of "discussions".
Commentators are not to be confused with NEWS......I refuse to hear anything
about murders in Aruba ever again..... However when the commentators are not
pontificating the channel does squeeze in a bit about daily news, events
etc......and I have yet to see anyone demonstrate that FOX plays loose with
the facts.......they can't hold a candle to Rather and his fall from grace.
If you've watched the O'Riely (sp?) Factor or
even read the liner on his latest book - I think
its title is Freedom Warrior, you have to get
out the dictionary and check that the definition
of the words haven't, in fact, changed since
last you looked. Hadn't had to do that since Lyndon
Johnson declared War On Poverty and Nixon
declared War On Drugs.
A book title?.....I'd suggest not reading the thing if the title really
bothers you....however before critiquing the book itself to be "fair and
balanced" one probably should read it first.....Rod
