Canine Confusion Climbs
It's not easy being a Fox hater. It's quite a chore keeping track of all the distortions and lies, so it's not surprising that sometimes they don't quite get their stories straight. Need we add that we speak of the newshounds (another fine product of the Outfoxed gang)?
They trip themselves up constantly. One of our favorites is the serial interview complaint. What if Fox does two interviews: a (D) and an (R)? Suppose the interviews are conducted in that order? Well, that's a typical Fox trick:
In typical FOX fashion the Republican pro-administration guest had the last word and got to reinforce the White House agenda.On the other hand, what happens when they give the last word to a Democrat? You guessed it:
It's interesting that democrats give their responses later, after the point has already been made, and viewers don't necessarily come back later. Typical Fox.
The newspoodles have called foul over interviews with Mel Gibson ("chicken"), John McCain ("cowardly"), and Fred Thompson ("chicken"). Why? Because they did one-on-one interviews with Sean Hannity, without Alan Colmes, and that was considering an outrage at the kennel. "Tom Delay Ducks Interview with Alan Colmes!" And yet, when it's Harry Reid who snubs Hannity and speaks only to Alan, all of a sudden the biased bassets have no problem whatsoever with cowardice. No calling of "chicken" here, or mention of him "ducking" an interview with Hannity. In fact, when John Dean avoids Hannity to talk to Alan alone, the mongrels are rapturous, calling it "a welcome change" from having both hosts doing the interview!
And now their latest classic of canine confusion. The whippets are up in arms because Fox actually interviewed people who didn't think Hillary Clinton's "distasteful" RFK comment was as bad as the media have painted it. Scandale!
FOX News conservatives have turned into her most stalwart supporters. Not only did they defend Clinton over her RFK assassination comments, the only thing they found offensive was the Obama camp's reaction.Now fast forward to less than 12 hours later. The newsmutts are up in arms, because someone on Fox was criticizing Hillary's comment--you know, the one that was "distasteful" just hours earlier:
many segments discussing the horror of not the assassination or the fact that it happened in America but that Clinton dared mention it - even as a calendar reference, which is clearly all it was.... overblown rhetoric and misplaced outrage over her "irresponsible" comment, wilfully ignoring that she was making a reference to a primary season that went into June.... This is another manufactured media flap...So do you understand now? Heads: Fox is wrong. Tails: Fox is still wrong. When you're dealing with the newshounds, sometimes it appears the left paw doesn't know what the other left paw is doing.
