Fox News: At it again

[runawayjimbo]

News anchor suggests it's ridiculous to say a sitting president could actually be considered "lazy," Fox News cries "bias alert!"

Pfft, tell that to Calvin Coolidge. Dude took like 3 naps a day (but he was a helluva free marketer).

I am now totally jealous of Calvin Coolidge.

But you raise a good point -- wouldn't the hands-off, laissez-faire, conservative theory of government be more conducive to "laziness" than that meddlesome, overbearing, liberal style? Jeez, Sununu, stay on message.

Seriously. All that intervention has got to be exhausting.

And where does Sununu get off calling anybody lazy. When's the last time that guy took the stairs?

Wait did jimbo just point out that the free market policies of the 20s were not such a good idea?

OK Hicks, I simply must know where that gif is originally from.

Don't be fatuous, Jason.


I mean, is that guy like some kind of psychic guru who made his own self-help videos in the early 80s? I must see more.

Quite the contrary: I'd take Coolidge over that meddling FDR any day of the week.

Sometimes (all the time) I wonder if you are for real.

I'm completely serious. And don't call me Surely.

This morning's "Bias Alert" on FN.com is about a critical comment about Romney made by... David Letterman.

That's right, Fox is now mining late-night comedy shows for evidence of pervasive left-wing bias in the media.


Update: Now the front-page "Bias Alert" is about Paul Krugman... who is a columnist. Someone should explain to Fox News the difference between news and entertainment/opinion content. You'd think a network composed almost entirely of right-leaning pundits and talking heads would understand this...

[sls.stormyrider]

you are assuming that the purpose of FN is to inform people of the truth.

we all know that is not what they're trying to do - it's not even just their version of the truth.
what they want you to believe and the truth are not the same thing

[VDB]

Oh man, this just keeps getting better. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Now FN is dipping into the archives for a "Bias Alert Flashback" -- essentially demanding that Reuters and the AP issue an apology for allegedly sexist photos of Sarah Palin that were published in 2008.

[sls.stormyrider]

LOL. every criticism of her (she's not qualified, etc) was anwereed by  - that is sooo sexist.

of cours,  Rush was saying back then "we've got the BAAAAABE"

Agreed. It's not like anyone on the left ever called Mitt a race baiter for using the term "ObamaCare" at the NAACP. Or that Romney was engaging the niggarization of Obama by saying he was angry (two times!! Once, maybe, but saying "angry" twice in the same speech?! We know what that's all about). Or that people who say Obama likes golf are obviously trying to connect him to that other depraved black golfer or that "Chicago" is a racial dog whistle (BTW, where do you live MBW?)

Still, this race would have been a lot more enjoyable had Palin thrown her hat in (especially for you guys if she had won). And c'mon, she was pretty hot.

[Hicks]

meh, Christine O'Donnell is hotter.
