efforts to bring our President down. What the hell difference does it make when and where Obama declared it an act of terror. Semantics and convolution is all that a party of fools have to offer.

To them it's either a protest OR a terrorist attack but it can't be that there were peaceful protesters there when a group of heavily armed guys arrived and opened fire.

I mean, that's IMPOSSIBLE.

After all, I recall Mike Wallace as one of the good ones, along with Dan Rather and others. Maybe not at the level of a Walter Cronkite, but, really, who is?

In any case, how did he become a tool of the right?

The only people who watch FoxNews are racists, homophobes, sectarian bigots and other like-minded reprobates. They are voting for the right anyway. They watch FoxNews to reassured about the make-believe world in which they live, not to be informed.

Fox News misinformation is being thrown at the general public from every location: bars, waiting rooms, store showrooms, airports. Most of my family still thinks it's just "the news."

He still said "acts of terror" on Sept. 12 (and again on the 13th mind you) and Romney said he didn't and Obama said he did and Crowley correctly mentioned to Romney that he was wrong and Obama did in fact say "acts of terror" on he 12th. (eyes roll at GOP, Fox and Romney)

Oct 2012

is that Obama said "actS of terror."

Obama was clearly not talking just of 9/11 when he said (please not the plural form of the word act -- act) ACTS of terror.

That means he was talking about more than one act -- the act in Benghazi and 9/11.

Fox News needs some new news analysts. The ones they've got don't listen very well.

They're despicable slime. Hate mongers. Spoiled children who when they don't get to have it their way will lie and throw temper tantrums. None of them should be in positions of authority of any kind.

Assuming that this video is real, that Fox actually edited in such a laughably childish way an important statement made by the President of the United States, Wallace is a contemptible failure as a journalist, and a sad and faded shadow of his father. How can a man whose father had a significant career as a more or less forthright TV journalist be such a toady to Ailes and Murdock? Are his children being held hostage in some remote hideaway as insurance that he will continue to shred the truth and defecate on the notion of journalistic integrity?

.....when Bill O'Reilly did the same thing to a speech that President Obama made when he was speaking in Germany. On that one, he got caught as well, and was exposed for the evil person that he is; except on that occasion his "exposure" was limited to the progressive news outlets. Mainstream America (and specifically Fox listeners) never had a clue.

The sad thing that I actually have conservative friends who watch this stuff and take it as gospel. It shocks and saddens me because I thought they had better sense. I guess that you have to go into some kind of deprogramming center once you've drank the brainwashing kool aid that is Faux "News."
