English Post 7

Ah Conservatives, I found this interesting - a recent fox news story had an interview with Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) in which Bill O'Reilly was essentially screaming, whining, blaming the (Jews, Arabs, Gays, pick one you can't go wrong) for the economic crisis the USA is currently facing, and then making a laughable connection between Rep. Frank and the crisis.... Isn't it funny how this only became a crisis in the eyes of Fox News after the Democrats took the house. Funny, they must've forgot that for 10 years the Republicans have been consistently deregulating the banking system and most of our economic system as a whole.

Selective coverage, I guess, is what I'm trying to get to. Fox News is pretty consistent in their completely biased coverage of the politic system in the country. With Sarah Palin essentially being their savior, the Republicans can do no wrong. However, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle giving eachother a fist bump? Why, that might be a sign of terrorism!

In addition, a lot of Fox News' stories now are about this character "Joe the Plumber", which has to be the greatest plant of the entire political season. The irony of this Joe the Plumber fellow is that he donated 100 dollars to the McCain Campaign and people at Fox Noise (Yes, I quoted MSNBC's Keith Olbermann) keep telling stories about how this "everyman" is voting for McCain. Well, of course he's voting for McCain, he donated a hundred bucks to his campaign....

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Fox News is a oxymoron.

and, I'm going to start a video of the week, today's funny video...
