Verdict's Beat the Press: 3 More Reasons Why FOX Is A Joke
By SilentPatriot Wednesday Apr 30, 2008 4:00pm
In his "Beat the Press" segment Wednesday night, Dan Abrams awarded all three dishonorable mentions to FOX News, which continues to prove itself as an utter joke.

...and one of my favorite newsmen {Aaron Brown} is coming out against O'Reilly... calling him the blowhard that he is... if more and more people cry the "emperor has no clothes" than maybe we can put Faux "news" in the McCarthyistic light that it is.
It is incredible to me tht anyone watches FAUX News. Equally incredible to me is tht this country gives credibility to the likes of Ollie North.
People with limited intelligence watch Faux News . . . people for whom thinking is a sin. Every single study shows that views of Faux News are the least educated among us. So since there are more of us . . . what see we actually go vote and shove it up their collective asses?
FOX is also still claiming that Obama attended a radical school ... Harvard!
“It’s not like we tune in to FOX for facts.”
Or watch FOX news at all, (except sometimes after a few highballs to get a laugh)
Fox News is run by the CIA.
That comment by Ollie North has to be the dumbest fu*king thing ever said on tv.
One of the best things one of their females at Fox ever said was that once she had seen a bird fly with only one wing.
did you guys read this
Deborah Jeane Palfrey found dead ? killed

Are you talking about the Aruba girl?
pissed off patricia @ 7:
LOL ... Really? yep, I oncest seed a boang seben oh seben flyin with one wing too.
itsme @ 8:
Since there hasn't been an open thread since it happened, we haven't been able to discuss it too much yet.
This guy has the feel of a man who's one step away from working for faux.
I Like Pie @ 10:
No that is “D.C. Madam,”
pissed off patricia @ 12:
I made a brief mention of it in an OT aside this morning. You'll have to go a long way to convince me she did herself in.
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ @ 5:
They can be entertaining if you just watch them for fun. Sadly a lot of people take everything they say to heart and believe it all true.
Fox is so finished.
If all the major networks would start belittling Fox instead of trying to emulate them, they might actually boost their ratings. I think Abrams is on to something. EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP TREATING FOX NEWS LIKE IT'S A LEGITIMATE NEWS SOURCE. It would be a hoot if all the networks starting ridiculing them, and so easy to do given their penchant for playing loose with the facts. Then, we can all watch Fox play the victim card - poor pitiful picked on Fox.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey? Wasn't she the DC madam with the list?
Finding her dead shouldn't be surprising, Pols will do anything to stay in office and away from their deeds.
Although, some times in the mornings it's difficult to differentiate between Morning Joe and Fox and Friends. Lately it's getting more and more difficult.
itsme @ 14:
I was making a joke.
Maybe we should thank Faux for a least one thing. Young voters are trending Democrat, out numbering Repugs two to one. Faux News with their own bullish behavior has turned off many people except those who share their views, which is about 28% of the country. Good Bye Faux! Thanks to your pro-war, pro-republican views, you have heaped destruction on our country.
but theaa siat it on tha teevee set! dat man Peeursent kill all thoze girls...and, and, and, dat colored fella iz a mooslum. Typical Fox viewer.
Two things I would not miss if they vanished from the earth tonight. Fox news and Wal-mart. Both of them have nothing to offer but garbage. Wal-mart sells it and Fox spews it.
A high school news program could do better than these idiots at Fox and Friends. These assholes embarrass themselves everyday. What a joke.
"..a recruiting campaign for al Queda and all the enemies of America.."
Wow! Ollie turns up the fear mongering to 11. Yet, the FoxNews knuckle-dragging watchers soak this shit up.
And remember, Fox is the same network who has Mark "Office N-word hater" Fuhrman on the payroll.
Left&Left @ 23:
Actually I think you are being too kind to them.
Left&Left @ 23:
Different is not deficient, Left and Left.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
I'm with you, Patricia. Always tell people that shop there that Wal-Mart is Satan.
Pissed off Patricia, I E-mailed Wal-mart about their shamefull treatment of one of their employees. Greed is destroying our country, from war-profiteers to the CEO's and MSM pandering to big business. Hopefully we can right this ship. If not, I fear for the future.
Was that north? I thought that dirt bag was long dead, must have been wishfull thinking. No one with any self respect tunes into F news for anything other than a good laugh. My tv starts to gag and choke when I get near that channel.
I feel that at least half the people who shop at Wal-mart turned off Fox news just before they left home. We had one Wal-mart here, then they decided it was too small. So they destroyed the woods across the street from that one and built a larger one. Then they decided they needed a really big assed one so they went back across the street and a bit south of the first one and destroyed a whole lot of pristine wildlife habitat and really old trees to build the third one. It's parking lot looks like a football field.
When I see crap like "stop hurting the progressive movement" and I know that the "progressive movement" is
backing a retrogressive bullshitter like Obama I have to either laugh or puke.
Haste makes errors. The last sentence in my previous comment should read, "Its parking lot looks like football field.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
Absolutely. I watched Bob Greenwald's Wal-Mart: The High Cost Of Low Price and was flabbergasted at how much bullshit they get away with. Glad I've never shopped there and will continue not to.
Jefferson @ 33:
Hey, do what ya gotta do. Just maybe don't do the latter here.
Now that MSNBC has does a hatchet job on my candidate I have switched to Fox. Just like I don't go on HuffBo or Daily Kos anymore - Fox is actually more fair and balanced.
It's not news or comedy.
It's like a mix of sarcasm and bullshit. Slub-a-rouse.
jmac @ 37:
Can't handle the truth huh?
jmac @ 37:
Oh? And who would "your" candidate be that causes you to watch a blatant propagandistic source of info-tainment for your "news"?
Speaking about FOX NEWS and the earlier thread about McCain's time in Vietnam, did you hear what an unnamed pundit (Bill O'Reilly) at FOX NEWS said recently?
"I hope he did not make a conscious decision to accept his captivity because [the captor] made things easy for him." The day earlier, he said, "And the question is, why didn't he escape when he could have? There are all kinds of theories about that. ... And I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that [he] liked about his circumstances."
An Average Joe @ 2:
And liddy.
repugs shining lites are from the gutter.
jmac @ 37:
Put down that pitcher of Kool-Aid and back away slowly.
Hey, go easy on FOX and on Ollie North - War criminals and traitors need a platform and a voice in America - After all, we owe them our freedoms!!
Yeah - Fox sucks - but that doesn't mean that Abrams isn't an asshole.
He was nowhere when it counted with respect to the Iraq war.
Now MSNBC - which has become Fox anyway - is making a phony feud with Fox to build itself up in the ratings dept.
MSNBC is a bunch of snot-nosed punks.
So is Fox, and so is CNN.
Democracy? Independence? Progressive thinking?
Nowhere to be seen.
Why waste time on any of these assholes?
Our lives are at stake - not that anyone gives a shit.
jmac @ 37:
You poor thing. You're confused.
Jefferson @ 33:
Well, forget about the "progressive movement". They have been taken over by a bunch of elitist racists.
Ollie North is a VETRAN you know.
He fought bravley and honerably in many wars and conflicts and gave GREAT SERVICE to his country.
Support our troups
Support our VETS
Support our WAR HEROS
He never did anything wrong - Just like every other AMERICAN that put on that wonderful uniform.
He defended America against the Panama and Granada.
goat hussein sage @ 40:
Goooo hillary! The other red candidate.
Rabbit @ 45:
LOL - I bet we can make a really funny joke about that!!
pissed off patricia @ 36:
Yeah. We don't allow that kind of thinkin' here.
tHeHusseinGaMeOfLiFe @ 38:
So you have just found Crooks and Liars Blog sight then?
PeterDay @ 51:
Thinking is fine. Puking? Not so much
Leaveus @ 52:
Oh a slight of words just like your thought process.
I have been a proud C&L member for a time. TYVM
Jefferson @ 33:
Well there is no progresive candidate available.
Just as there is no progresive voice on TV.
We got Obama and fox noise though!!
Don't let the Fox/Obama/More troops, More armor, more metals crowd define your sense of what a progresive is.
Don't look for progresives on a conservative/mainstream/democratic blog because when those chunks of puke get lodged in your nose it can really hurt.
tHeHusseinGaMeOfLiFe @ 54:
Yeah, I know - Your an OG.
And you haven't seen any sarcam or bullshit the whole time, I know.
Game at posting as a life,
they don't actually have members here...
casper46 @ 29:
squall-mart makes satan look like a little girl in red pajamas.
O'Rielly needs to send his punk-arse Ambush Reporters to Hanoi and interview McCains guards at the Hanoi Hilton! Better than that, Bill-o ought to go do it himself, being the "Been Under Fire, Combat Journalist" that he claims to be!
Leaveus ,
You mentioned a "progresive" candidate four times in your post at 3:02 PDT, what is a "progresive?"
Leaveus @ 48:
Yes, the Panama is a menace to America. Especially since the Republican John McCain was born there.
Ya Leavus, ain't you got no spell-cheq?
Harry R. Sohl @ 61:
No dude,
It was a long and valiant fight but we did prevail and fredom rung out over the land like crack in a project.
Panama is a threat no more - WE ARE FREE!!!
Buffalo-Bill @ 62:
None I care to use.
Sorry if it distracts.
pissed off patricia @ 16:
The inlaws are faux zombies. It's really horrible.
Every time Dh's asshole uncle opens his mouth I want to put my shoe in it. Foot and all. But the only way to deal with them is ignore them. Honestly. It's like they've all got 'mad faux' disease or something, the brain becomes full of holes which are then filled with the garbage that spews from faux.
Louie @ 60:
That's a good question and I am sure you could find 100 answers if you tried.
It is easier to say what one isn't than it would be to say what one is.
But like most words today the meaning is irelivant - So if you want to call yourslef a progressive, be my guest.
I think by even the most generous definition of a progressive would eliminate any media darling presidential candidate, nor would they be amoungst the supporters of said middle of the road BS.
I would say that with out exception a progresive candidate is one who is not held aloft by the corperate media.
You know the corperations, thier propaganda machine and thier political theatre don't really swing well with progresives - So don't look for them on your TV any time soon.
When the Democratic party goes and nominates John Kerry II and we lose yet again, maybe some of you on this post will FINALLY realize we have to have middle american to win.
Hillary made points on O'Reilly last night. She was very impressive. I don't know how Obama did on Chris Wallace (Fox) but I doubt he picked up any votes.
Leaveus @ 57:
You make as much sense as mcchimpy.
Leaveus @ 57:
Yes they do. You won't know because you are a drive-by troll.
What? No mention of the Fox-moderated Lincoln-Douglas debate???
Gaming life:
Baby buddy roll, my original post was not aimed at you - For those who can only call names I have little interest.
My comment was about the penchant here for making jokes and sarcastic comments when confrunted with FACSISM.
I can't use my real name here, but if it pleases you to think you have been here longer than me - I don't care.
Get your simple minded pleasure as you find it my friend.

An Average Joe @ 2:
The fact that G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and Karl Rove (two convicted fellons, and a soon-to-be pardoned fellon) are now considered to be conservative, political 'pundits' is evidence of just how low the TV news media has sunken. But I like it that way. Those people can be the role models for the right. A gang of macho-compensating chickenhawks like Krystol, petty crooks like DeLay, dangerous fascists who care nothing about the constitution like Liddy, clowns like Limbaugh, and circus freaks like Coulter and Drudge. Let them be the voice of the new conservative movement.
Game, we were never buddies. No matter what you change your name to or what I change my name to, I think it is fair to say we disagree as much today as we did when you arrived here.
They have a policy here that should weed out the simple name callers - But since your still here it obviously doesn't work.
Pericles @ 72:
Hey my vote would be to make them MARTYRS of the new conservative movement. Give justice a chance in AMERICA.
Re: Leavus, imac, etc...
The trolls are out in full force the last couple of days. Where's tyree on this post? Taking a 4 day weekend from the campaign?
Methinks some McGramps staffers figured out it's good math to get on "the internets" and froth up all the lefties against the other lefties candidates. Don't bite.
How many posts has princess provided about faux's ratings or about C&L posting about faux?
Dan Abrams is an embarrassment to the left - if that's what he is supposed to represent.
More likely Abrams is interested only in the ratings for his own show. All I can think of his a male Nancy Grace.
Jefferson @ 33:
or you could just eff off...
pissed off patricia @ 7:
Yes it was, because everybody knows that that stupid picture of Lindy England dragging a naked Iraqi man around by a dog leash is the current and most successful Al Qaeda recruiting poster. Try to keep up, Ollie, ya old BUFOON!
This guy is the counter-propaganda to the O'Reilly propaganda.

That's veteran, site, sarcasm and somewhere on this site you were quoted misspelling progressive.
Are you trying to prove the point of the comment by Left & Left 23?
In case you're wondering, I'm a Cold War, Air Force veteran, who had a Top Secret Clearance, and an E-4 rank upon Honorable Discharge.
In Panama, we attacked them, because Ortega was acting like a lord of a drug cartel, and in Grenada the causa bella for our attack was an air strip supposedly being built by the Soviets, when actuall it was being built by a British Tourist Company. I suppose they found that statement of ray gun's to be rather droll.
If you're trying to be funny, leave that to Stephen Colbert.

That's okay, but why is he touting KO as a credible newsman? I believe he was; I don't believe it now. He skews the news for obama, no matter what type of trouble or lies obama is involved in. I stopped watching him. There is no point.
Leaveus: Do you really think you are making a point here? We had better trolls than you and C&L survived.
It appears you are dazed and confused.
jmac @ 67:
obama and Chris belong to a mutual admiration society. obama said he was going to take Fox on; he did no such thing. I thought he was boycotting Fox, at least that is what he said, but as you can see, obama learned the art of flip-flopping well from John Kerry. obama was against Faux News, before he was for it....

Now we're talkin', Dan-o.
progressives make a mistake giving fox TV too much credit for this bush disaster.
fox TV is the visual whipped cream on right wing talk radio's turd pie of uncontested repetition. limbaugh hannity and co do the real propaganda groundwork earlier in the day or week. you can't turn a bad haircut or a fun day sail boarding into major character flaws while elevating a bunch of chickenhawks to superpatriot status without that monster talk radio media monopoly.
Abrams is doing his damnedest to catch-up to Fox News. His 'Verdict' show is among the most useless on the 24-hour cable news spectrum. All sensationalist dreck w/ little delving below the surface of ANY issue, and all directed by the perpetually shrill Abrams.
Abrams, being on MSNBC, is calling out FOX for lack of facts? Hypocrisy anyone? Pretending MSNBC, the home of Tweety and Obamaolbermann sticks to facts is ludicrous. Bashing FOX is always fun, but having the basher be a hypocrite like Abrams is silly.
Actually, actuall should be spelled actual.
It never fails that when we correct the spelling of others we commit the faux-pas of a misspelling ourselves.
I'm calling out the exterminator today to get rid of the gremlin in my computer.

Smart people do not ever tune in to FOX, in fact smart people do not watch television at all any more. We get our news and information on the net where we can cross reference sources, verify data, then we express and share our opinions on Crooks and Liars, Digg.com where we also share our source links in which we can catch up on how we view subjects with our friends from all over the world.
The "regular" jane/joe's watch television, then congregate in places like WalMart, Target, Homo-depot and Costco/Sam's Club parking lots and argue over the sanity status of Brittany Spears and how hot amateur mature granny porn starring Madonna and Justin Timberfuck.
Sometimes I wish that CHina would put more poison in toys to help rid us of the regular jane/joe glut peeps which are clogging and gumming up the social gears of the society machine. I know its bad to wish harm or think of wishing harm to anyone- but hey the ELITES think we are all Walmart(ect..) shoppers which is why they could not care less about the rest of us- especially when our numbers are increasing exponentially over the coach potato set.
I am still trying to figure out how our current president managed to go from the WalMart parking lot to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
