Fox News is being called a lot of things: Fox Noise, Fux News etc.
Well there is definitely one thing you can't call them, & that's News.
In their latest "fair & balanced", "we report, you decide" sham, Fox gave air time to the failed former Director of FEMA, Mike Brown. You remember him? He worked under the failed former President W.
This loony piece of excrement went on an unfounded (other then the fact that "righties" really hate Obama) rant blaming the current administration for the current oil spill in the Gulf. The secret agenda of President Obama & his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel was to politicize the disaster & use it to "bankrupt the coal industry"(direct quote). Loony went on to accuse Obama of everything except donning scuba gear & blowing up the oil rig himself.
Calling this a rant is being charitable. This mother was almost foaming at the mouth while he spewed his hatred for Obama.
Side bar: Chris Matthews of MSNBC later that day had loony Brown on to repeat these allegations. One of Matthews self promoting commercials states, that he, Chris Matthews gets to the truth & won't let guests get away with any crap, coz "he will call them out" Watching that interview was a lesson in how not to do your journalistic job. Christ, Larry King would have done a more credible interview. Maybe Matthews was off his game due to disbelief over the pure bullshit & hatred coming out of Brown's pie hole.
Side Bar #2: Politically, I lean a tad ,a smidge, a jot, a whit left of center. That makes me, according to certain elements in this country, "A liberal".
On most social issues that is probably true. If not wanting intrusion from the government or others into my or anyone's private life (including the bedroom), then I'm a liberal. However, I'm so fiscally conservative that I make $crooge McDuck look like a spendthrift. I don't want to continue wasting tax dollers on failed programs designed to help someone "get a leg up". Win or lose, let us live our lives.
After watching the Brown carnival & the actual lack of any challenge to this hatred, I'm so ticked off, that I hereby now declare myself, a full fledged, 100% died- in-the-wool liberal. In the words of President Geo. W. Bush,"Thanks Brownie, you're doing a heckava job".
Side bar#3: To all the hate spewing "righties", Beck, Limbaugh, Brown, Bachmann, Colter, Ingraham, Fox News & others of their ilk... in the words of the great American John Stewart, " Go fuck yourself".
