"lol fox news" - The Megathread

[Likely Voter]

Also the Asst. SecState for Africa and a number of academics recommended against designating BH as a terrorist org at the time as it would have actually helped them with recruitment by showing they hit the "big time" and also it would have precluded people with negotiating with them. There were also some who argued for it. And there is also the issue of what real difference it would have made. In other words it is one of those things that is much more complicated than "Hillary refused to call them terrorists so she is a failure/soft on terrorism/etc" But hey, complex, nuance and grey areas are not what FOX news does.

[King]

Well hey, at least they admitted it.

Yeah, I wouldn't have known that was faked if she didn't admit it.

The man and woman sitting at the table together did seem to have the talking points down a little too pat, but I would just have assumed they were Wall Street blowhards. Then again, since they work for FOX Business Network, I guess they are!

I don't like Fox News that much, but in all fairness, we should at least create an "LOL MSNBC" thread (or even one for CNN.)

You seriously consider CNN biased? To a degree it would need a LOL thread?

Like you need another thread to post every single thing you disagree with.

Brit Hume and George Will mock the '#bringbackourgirls' movement

I mean okay, they have a point, but no need to be a giant dick about it.

George Will has always been a giant dick......pretty much the same with Brent Hume.

Hashtag activism is often legitimately mockable, but it seems like the #bringbackourgirls thing has actually succeeded in forcing the Nigeria government to stop ignoring this.

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed in Hume (I'd expect this from Will) in this case. Hashtag activism is almost always pathetic, but for once it seems to have worked.

I considered starting a "lol msnbc" thread for this, but oldies would probably just ruin that with his horribleness, so I'll put it here instead:

CNN's bias lies with its outrageous sensationalism

Agree on both points.

Not sure about bias, but I started a megathread for CNN's lolworthy geography fails several years ago.  I guess their 24/7 coverage of the missing Malaysian plane and that 'poo cruise' last year counts for something as well.

Fox in 2012:  Hillary had a head injury?  Pfft, whatever.  She's faking it.

Fox in 2014:  HILLARY CAN'T BE PRESIDENT, HER HEAD NEARLY FELL OFF

Ed Schultz really provides those FOX News sensibilities to Dem hackery.

[Joe Republic]

Fox is in talks with Stacey Dash, aka that one girl who was in the movie Clueless, to become a regular talking head.  This will certainly help their credibility image.

Haha, "clueless" indeed.

Apparently their anchors like to liquored up in an airport bar?

He acted like he was drunk on TV and constantly flirted with the co-anchor on his show when I used to watch Fox a lot.

He's been on leave according to the report here.  Hey, if he has a problem deal with it, but this was plain ole stupid to cause a rucus in an airport.

You know that when Hannity has Palin on his show, hilarious things will ensue.

As somebody who couldn't be bothered to finish the job she was elected to, Sarah Palin is an expert in laziness.

Why is the left obsessed with fox news?

[Joe Republic]

Why is the left obsessed with fox news?

Because it spews misinformation on a constant basis, and millions of impressionable voters lap it up?

Anyone who watches Fox isn't going to be voting Democratic anyway, so does it really matter?
