Holy moley, fleet. You're posting every minute or two.
Of course, you're twitted, but this seems a bit self-important.

"Faux" seems to be accurate.

As I said before, many conservatives voted to not ban the word because they enjoy watching liberals make fools of themselves.

Why? Because one website says so?

I can also find websites which claim that MSLSD is "faux."

Did you not look at the website? It includes research and polls from several
different sources. Again, only on Fox can you find talking heads lampooning
President Obama for using teleprompters, even as they read the words they're speaking from teleprompters.

Statements such as you just made only show your bigotry.
Read how everybody voted on this poll Einstein?

Only conservatives voted to ban the word.

Faux doesnt want its viewers to look at other sources of information...doesnt encourage questioning....just be passive, watch and listen.

Source Watch mentions "The Memo." If we cared enough we could observe the day's talking points at Faux, on Rush, etc., and see how long it takes for the followers pick it up and start spreading it as gospel.
