Even when it's spelled out for them, the Outfoxed gals refuse to tell the truth. With J$P Video!

The Fox haters are at it again. And since you can't teach an old dog new tricks, the same old hoary flimflams are the order of the day with the newshounds (another fine product from the Outfoxed gang).

There's nothing new about the "invisible man" technique. How to make Fox look biased? Report on a program by cherry-picking all the things that fit the frame, and just leave out anything or anyone who doesn't. Since the mob doesn't watch Fox they'll believe anything, no matter how many times you've been caught in a lie. This time it's a report on John Kasich's Heartland, where Liar in Training Priscilla railed against Bill O'Reilly's appearance. Here is how she describes the broadcast:

Imagine my surprise and delight when John Kasich said that the “culture warrior” himself, that Samurai of sensibility, that paragon of virtue, Bill O’Reilly would be making a guest appearance on Heartland yesterday 12/2/06. As part of the theme, the demise of culture in the US, Kasich would also be doing segments on “important stories” such as Britney Spears without underwear, animal attacks, and people trying to sell their children for new Play Stations [sic].

From that point an extended attack on Mr Bill filled out the "coverage" of Heartland. And that was that. See, it was nothing but right-wing "paranoia" and mindless fluff. How odd, since when we watched the program, it included these guys:



For Priscilla's information, that's Sen Obama (D) on the left, and on the right Rev Jim Wallis, who delivered the Democrat radio response earlier that day. They didn't fit the biased bowsers' frame, so they became the invisible men.

But this next is destined to become an instant hound classic. It all began when Donna posted this:

John Bolton Resigns - Fox Only Shows White House Side
...Fox took the time to tell us what Tony Snow thought of the resignation but no one else.... this is Fox News, where they do the deciding and they decided to just give the Republican, specifically the Bush administration view of the resignation.

Uh oh. Caught in the act again. Not Fox. The newsliars. Within minutes we posted this comment:

• Good point, except that it isn't true. The 15-second clip from Tony Snow was followed by a statement by John Kerry giving the other point of view. You should strive for a little more accuracy.

At this point, it seemed settled. After all, responsible writers would issue a correction or retraction, and apologize. But that didn't happen. An hour went by. Two hours. Three hours. Still nothing. And then it came:

Today I reported on Fox reporting that John Bolton had resigned and they had only given the Bush administrations [sic] side. Things were a little different when it came to Studio B today. They ran the same Bolton resigns story but this time they had another perspective to the story. This time they had a blurb by John Kerry saying that we need an Ambassador that has the full support of Congress. Comment: Which got me to thinking -- is Fox reading News Hounds? They used the same story but added the statement by John Kerry, which is specifically what I had pointed out was missing from the Fox On Line story - no Democratic perspective.

Um, no. That is the same Kerry statement they used the first time. Something is seriously awry when the newspooches have the facts spelled out for them, handed to them on a platter, and they still won't tell the truth. And they compound their deception with the arrogant conceit that Fox changed its programming just for them!

Here is the original report from Bill Hemmer's Fox On Line noon program. The one that showed "only the White House side", the one that quoted Tony Snow "but no one else" [QuickTime video]:


The newshounds: why should anyone with a functioning brain believe anything these rabid haters say?
