4. All Fox White House press passes will be collected by the White House on January 20
There is no constitutional right to a press pass.

You have freedom of speech, not freedom of access.

7. I only wish,
In reality, I wouldn't be surprised if FoxNews' "reporters" get assigned to the back of the press room.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they are never called-upon for questions.

And while I'm wishing, I'd love to see Helen Thomas back in her front-row seat. :D

16. I agree. Faux News is not a news channel.
Until they demonstrate that they are, they should have no access as such.

5. I'd be surprised if that fascist bitch showed a reflection if you held a mirror up to her.
Faux news, it is always biased, always bullying and agenda oriented, and always worthless.

11. Fox is a 24 hour Obama-hate fest and she pretends shock? Fox News, scared of losing access.
Your days are numbered FOX.

12. Why do they keep saying "fair and balanced"?
They must know it's turning into a parody of itself...

42. If they keep saying it enough maybe some of their own news people will believe it
Hey, psychology shows that you're much more willing to believe something (no matter how crazy it is) if you can convince someone else to believe it.

I'm sorry people, but I'm a female...a female who has always despised the "c" word (even though I swear like a sailor)...and that is the word that keeps coming to mind when I see the Faux females, the Elizabeth Hasselbecks, the Palins....

Again, :puke:

20. That is one of the most annoying newspeople I have ever seen.
I am thrilled that FAUX NOISE is not even on my channel selection...due to my choosing to delete it.
I could not put up with that crap on even a semi-regular basis.

21. I loved it... she tried like hell to talk over him
and he beat her at her own game. He called out Faux like no one I've seen. Have you ever seen an interview where two people fight it out talking over each other for such a length of time like that? He was doing it on purpose just to teach her a lesson. that guy has skill. wow

Let me tell you, talking over someone is a very difficult thing to do for most (normal) people. It is very tough to keep your thoughts straight, stay on message and not be distracted by the other person while your are both talking at the same time. You almost have to enter a "stream of consciousness" sort of state and shut the other person completely out of your mind. I learned this skill from a longtime RW friend of mine who constantly would talk over people. I think many RW'ers may be born with this personality defect. Could it be linked to Narcissism?? hmmmm...

23. Is this the Rasmussen poll this woman is referring to?
Rasmussen: Voters See Media Bias At Peak, Worse Problem Than Big Donations


~snip~

A plurality of voters (42%) rate both Fox News and their local newspaper as unbiased in terms of political coverage. But 39% say coverage on Fox is biased to help McCain, while 32% say their local newspaper’s coverage tilts toward Obama. Thirteen percent (13%) say their local paper is biased to help McCain.

Just eight percent (8%) say Fox is biased in favor of the Democrat. In the final presidential debate Wednesday night, Obama made a joking reference to Fox’s coverage of him, suggesting it is seldom favorable.

While 62% of Republicans say Fox’s coverage is unbiased, 58% of Democrats say it leans toward McCain. Forty-four percent (44%) of unaffiliated voters say Fox favors the Republican, but 40% rate its coverage as unbiased.

In a survey in early August, 87% of Fox News viewers said they were likely to vote for McCain, while those who watch CNN and MSNBC planned to support Obama in November by more than two-to-one.

Good gods, I hope the FUX propaganda channel has a hefty supply of fire extinguishers in their studios for that bunch of lying loathsome asswipes they employ when their pants catch on fire.

34. Oh my god-like being. There are some people who will be like the coyote
and bite their leg off while in a trap. But this woman is biting her leg off and the country all agrees... there's no trap. Obama's going in. He's in the white house. What are you defending, lady? Eight years of crap? Republicanism for the sake of it's outdated self? Your boss? Are you the black knight who keeps fighting with all his limbs severed? Why go to the mat like this? Does Rupert have such a tight grip on you guys? Really, what gives here?
