You mean you prefer those news organizations that manufacture documents against Bush for news and when confronted on it say it doesn't matter if there is evidence out there or not, they simply know it's true.

Well, FOX has "edited" things before. From Fox News Channel controversies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (sources included): no wonder they like bimbos with short skirts to read the news:

On the July 2, 2008 edition of Fox and Friends, co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy aired photos of New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and Times television editor Steven Reddicliffe that had been crudely doctored, apparently in order to portray the journalists unflatteringly.[67] This occurred during a discussion of a piece in the June 28 edition of The New York Times, which pointed out what Steinberg called "ominous trends" in Fox News' ratings.[68]
According to Media Matters, the photos depict New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg with yellowed teeth, "his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further". The other image, of Times television editor Steven Reddicliffe, had similar yellow teeth, as well as "dark circles ... under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back".[69]
During the discussion, Doocy called the Times report, written by Steinberg, a "hit piece" ordered up by Reddicliffe.[68] The broadcast then showed an image of Steinberg's face superimposed over a picture of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over the man holding the poodle's leash.[68]
Times culture editor Sam Sifton called the Fox photo work "disgusting," and the criticism of the paper's reporting a "specious and meritless claim" while denying that it was a "hit piece".[68]

Prime example of when it's OK to be a misogynist. Hypocritical liberals.

Anywho, I'd much rather have hot women reading the news than a President guiding America and the world by reading a teleprompter.

BS -when they are doing this quite a bit - it is like Hooters hiring with a single purpose. I noticed you did not comment about the 'editing' FOX has done.

Having said that, MSNBC tends to hire mostly lookers also - but the skirts are generally longer.

"McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years!"
"I can see Russia from my house!"

The hypocrisy isn't just dripping, it's flooding.

Unreal.
