"I might not be invited back George, but when Charles Gibson didn't know what the ACORN story was all about, that was a collective gasp you heard across the United States"
George Will: "No President in the history of this Republican has less reason to complain about his treatment of the press than Barack Obama...Out here is this one channel Fox, and they're all up in arms because in the words of Ms. Dunn of the White House 'it is opinion journalism masquerading as news' which some of us would say describes the NYTimes and certainly MSNBC...
Because he is an anti-Bush leftist, Rather went ahead and reported the story without having it verified first.
Bush's "dismal" service? He received an honorable discharge with the rank of Lt. He made up for any time missed.
A lot better than Bill Clinton's military record... oh, wait. I almost forgot- Bill Clinton was a draft-dodger!
Anyone who had actually followed the story would know that the documents were sent for analysis and verification before any story went on the air. Such people would also know that nothing contained in those documents was ever disputed. The documents were dismissed only because a credible link between those copies and original copies could not be establoshed. The woman who would have typed the original copies testified that everything in Rather's copies was accurate. She was only certain that she herself had not typed them.
Given the dismal level of service that George W. Bush has provided in every other professional undertaking, it is hardly any stretch to suggest that his ANG servoce was also dismal.
There was nothing dishonorable about being a draft-resister or an opponent of the Vietnam war. Many of today's anti-Obama whackjobs go a good deal further toward disgrace and dishonor than the he!!-no-we-won't-go crowd of the 1960's. Then of course, there were the chicken-hawks. We know who some of those were. You want dishonor, there's a good place to start...
Fox News can be called 'News' but it is News that is highly biased and a political arm of the extreme far right and the views of its owner. Fox News long ago crossed the line into the nether world of being a ultra conservative arm and media 'operation' of the republican party.
"I might not be invited back George, but when Charles Gibson didn't know what the ACORN story was all about, that was a collective gasp you heard across the United States"
Yeah, you' think that at some point, some staffer would have let him know that the ACORN story is this giant right-wing smear and bag of fluff that a lot of pretty dumb people out there have bought into. Sort of like WMD, only even more ridiculous. Gibson really should have known that. I don't really know how anyone could have missed it.

Hmmm. FOX is rapidly becoming not just a shameful and completely unprincipled propaganda outlet, but the US equivalent of RCTV in Venezuela. Backed by hard right-wing corporate money, RCTV in 2002 tried to overthrow the freely and fairly elected goverment of that country. FOX appears to have itself headed in that same sort of direction.
Meanwhile back on the ranch Harry Reid is dictating policy himself. What a lonely world it must be for that elitist...
Okay resume the meaningless attacks on a television show because it's s important... I mean it's not like you can change the channel or anything. Last I looked when I had basic cable I had 74 other channels..
The left can spew virulent lies and filth directed at the GOP, Rush, The Bushes all day long and it's kewl...
But dare anyone complain about B. Hussein Obama....his corrupt Chicago-political-machine way of doing "business".... dare anyone complain about the sycophantic, slobbering, ****-sucking, tingly leg BHO support network (poorly disguised as "news")....
...well that just has to stop.......tar and feather those people......those people have to go.....
What a simply pathetic whiny metro-sexual mentally enslaved group of sheep those on the left are.....Poor fools....They dish it out but cry "foul" when it's their turn to take it....
It's a good tactic for leftist fanatics to try to tell people the Fox isn't a news channel.
That way they can get people discussing whether Fox is a news channel, and avoid discussing the faults Fox keeps finding with Obama and the legislation his administration keeps churning out.
Considering that the leftists generally can't refute the facts Fox keeps pointing out, what better tactic could they come up with, than to change the subject under discussion?
Well I wonder why "Fox News" wasn't as critical & harsh towards George Bush during his eight years of lying, cheating, & deceiving America?
"For the first time ever, she went through an entire week without attracting a million viewers on any night. That’s barely more than Bill O’Reilly nets in a single night."
