90 Seconds of FOX: "Fair and Balanced" Coverage of Petraeus Hearings
By bluegal Monday Sep 17, 2007 4:59pm
from Robert Greenwald:
To laugh at the ridiculousness, to scream at the outrageous or to... Well fox went to new lows in their analysis of Petraeus' testimony last week. When our friends at Media Matters let us know that they had 7 to 1 analysts in favor of escalation, it was hard to believe, even for FOX! 22 minutes supporting the escalation and only 3 and half against it. They went to such great lengths, they even cut away to Ann Coulter when Democrats questioned Petraeus! Read more...

Props to Robert Greenwald for exposing the neo Pravdans
I saw it when they went to her, and I just started laughing. They sure know who to talk to about technical things like war, don't they? I know I was waiting to see what her take was going to be because you know, she's always right on every subject. :roll:
They have to go to new lows to keep up with the continual dumbing down of the population.
Mr. Greenwald must have a stomach lined with steel to be able to sit through THAT much propaganda.
Did they actually dust off man-on-dog Ricky Sanatorium for that interview?!?!? WOW. Faux must be desperate. That's funny that he said the "adults are in charge" after he and the reich-winger majority got tossed out on their arses in Jan.
Ann Coulter is a nut job. Anything she touches becomes dumber.
Ann is right. I hope those toothless rapists that call themselves troops all come home in body bags.
Coulter is GREAT! No one could possibly be a bigger idiot. She makes her whole side look dumb. MOre COulter!
WHY does anyone watch Faux Noise? The only time I see anything relating to Faux Noise
is here on the C&L thead, and in each instant I get sick at my stomach and feel like
throwing up. Let that 20 percent cent, or whatever, continue to watch, but pleeeeease
give some consideration to us who refuse to do so and don't have any of that trash/
garbage on your threads...Not only does it make me ill, but so angry that I could do
something illegal as to that R.Murdick bunch of crap...and you don't want to be responsible
for something like that occurring do you?
WHO gives a RATS ASS what Ann Coulter says? She is a ZERO. I have tuned her out long ago. Her CHEAP SIDESHOW may entertain the National Enquirer sect of this society, but it is just plain irritating (like a tick) as far as I am concerned. It really says a lot about Fox when they continually feature her on their network... all fairness considered, they have shown me that they cannot lure anyone with an ounce of integrity onto that show unless it is to bash them with unfounded accusations designed to rile their base... what a useless lot.
RW @ 10:
The fringe extreme 22% of the population, also known as the reich-wing base.
Why is Ann Coulter considered an expert on anything?
Ann Coulter, as she gets older and even more hideous looking, will become more and more irrelevant, even to those morons that worship her now.
All the more reason that Dems and progressives should NEVER appear on Fox News.

FOX CARTOON NEWS
With all due respect to their message, foxattacks is one of the worst designed websites I have ever seen.
Totally abused comment section with zero user controls or monitoring, activate!
Beck is about 10 lbs from standing in for the Pillsbury dough boy. I can already smell the yeast under his rolls brewing.
Like Andy Kaufman so many right wingers get caught up in the act.
At first glance Is see the actors gleam in his eye as he spews his venom.
Then I start to think he really believes what he is saying.
So he is rather a good actor or insane.
you might want to copy diane sawyer and good morning america on your e-mail message to cnn.
Fox is just supporting the troops. All you seem to be concerned about is the troops' welfare & family relationships. How do you think it would look if there was no power in baghdad after 4 years? Ah, ffs, just on news. Condi has strong-armed Iraqi justice minister to rescind ban on Blackwater. Naive to think this wouldn't happen, I guess.
Yeah, why is it that Fox says they're fair and balanced yet they continually seem to support the right-wing neo..........
hey, what are you doing ? Arrested ? For what ? Get you hands off me, man ! Whoa, don't tase me bro ! Arrrggghhh!
Nice presentation there from Greenwald!
Hurry up and take your country back! Time is running out.
Wait - so Mann Coulter thinks the Dems believe the troops are rapists? Seems to me that Mann has a rape-fantasy? Maybe brought on by her days dating Bob Guccione Jr? (of Penthouse magazine fame???) And maybe it's one of those fantasies that can never be fulfilled because the only boys that would "enter that space" are the prepubescent right wing bloggers that W invites to the White House for snack time!
Fox just balances out ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN. Why are you peeps whining so much? Oh, sorry, I forgot, you're libs - it's what you do best. Happy whining!
Mrs. P
Speaking of whining, how do you feel about Move On , Mrs. P ?
SantasClaws @ 23:
Thanks so little for the delusional point of view. And I wish you happy whining in November 2008 when your party of hacks and criminals becames the permanent minority party. Enjoy, loser!
umm, 2008?
Mr. Greenwald should fix the date at the beginning of the segment... unless he's somehow living in the future. Which would be groovy, but unlikely.
...and then you get to the bottom of the barrel and think...WHAT IF I LIFT UP THE BARREL ?
I watch the other news stations and Fox and feel that the majority lean toward the liberal views. But even though we may not like what another person believes in, why do so many comments have to be so ugly. I am so thankful to live in a country we can express ourselves but I always thought, that it should be with respect and courtesy. From the looks of the comments, it seems we are going the other way, rude and demeaning.
Phyl @ 28:
The right wing started this by deciding they wanted to turn extreme in rhetoric and deed over 20 years ago. Over the last 10 years that trend has worsened. Just turn on the radio at about any time of the day to listen to what they say. We, on the left, have been silent while they hijacked this nation. Now we are the angry ones and we are the ones fighting back, and fighting hard. I am proud that we now have the spine to fight hard, and we will stop at nothing at this point till we win and change this society.
That was absolutely inhumane. I knew those bastards at Fux were bad, but everyone needs to call their ASPCA chapters and let them know they aren't properly feeding or grooming their circus monkeys. If they aren't willing or able to take care of their hermaphrodite baboon, then the authorities really should euthanize it.
[...] More Fair and Balanced news coverage from our friends at FOX HERE. watch the [...]
No Ann, we think that you're ignorant. I'll bet her hoo-hoo has teeth though! How does that ugly creature get air time? It's unbelievable!
Why do so many people on this site yell about Fox News all the time then download Fox crap? If you would just stop watching it and stop commenting all the time you may have an effect on the only thing that will change the network, ratings. You don't have to watch the freak show to know what it is going on.
Really, I'm sick of hearing about Fox all the time. The misfits that watch it, and the people on it are not news and the information that is generated is a waste of space.
Ann puts the colt back into coulter.

Disney, Verizon, General Electric, News Corp (FAUX) and Time/Warner own most TV, periodical outlets in this country, and not one of them is "liberal." Time/Warner might've been at one time under Ted Turner, but they've been sold to a much more conservative group.
Then you have Clear Channel, who has boosh relatives on the corporate board, and creating "spontaneous" demonstrations against the Dixie-Chicks, owning most radio stations and recording labels. And lest we forget upstart groups like Sinclair who produce conservative biased programs within days before elections.

It's tough, but I think they're up to it (down to it?)

Ann Coulter - skunk spit!!
SantasClaws @ 23:
"Whining"? Look, Mrs. P, why don't you save your little school yard taunts and go swing on the swingset in your little fantasy land where all the "libs" are ruining the world and corrupting the airwaves? Yes, the media, which is owned by 5 major corporations, never gets tired of pushing the liberal, socialist, anti-corporate agenda. I guess they just don't like themselves very much. You are being LIED to and MANIPULATED by your beloved fox news, but you're totally ok with that, aren't you? You just don't like it when "libs" get all uppity just because we are being brainwashed to support the reprehensible sacrifice of american soldiers for OIL.
