INCREDIBLE! FOX 'NEWS' LABELS FOLEY AS DEM DURING O'REILLY FACTOR!
Three Different Video Cutaways, 15 Seconds or More Each, Credit Disgraced REPUBLICAN Congressman as Being a Florida DEMOCRAT!

Just amazing. Fox's O'Reilly Factor just covered the Mark Foley (R-FL) issue in two different segments, one of them with a page who says he received communications from Foley, and another with Ann Coulter.

Never mind the content of either segment for now. Incredibly during a total of three different cutaways to video footage of Foley, he was labelled at the bottom of the screen eachtime as "(D-FL)" !

Just an oversight no doubt. Three different times. In two different segements. Each cutaway about 15 seconds or more. Showing Foley as a DEMOCRAT. Amazing.

[Sydnie]

1. Thank you!

I was hoping someone caught it!

[tridim]

5. It's all your Jon and Keith.

Run with it.

[roguevalley]

29. someone needs to challenge their FCC license again.

[Liberal In Texas]

32. FNC is cable. They don't have an FCC license. n/t

[kevinbgoode]

132. No, but we can demand they be removed from our cable

systems. And we can petition and protest that they should not be allowed on any cable systems at all.

[Liberal In Texas]

185. Yes, better than wasting time with the FCC. n/t

[Hepburn]

210. Now...

...that is a good idea. I never thought of going to the cable companies and raising hell.

[cspanlovr]

2. They really are scum.

[Eric J in MN]

3. Yes, I saw that and sent a tip to Media Matters.

If you want to alert them, too, it's:
mm-tips@/mediamatters.org

[donco6]

4. Further confirming their position as top propaganda ministry.

This could be good - when the RW nutcases call in and claim that Foley is a Dem, Randi can correct him and then while he's sucking on his teeth, she can blast him.

[wholetruth00]

34. If the Dems don't come out swinging over this tomorrow they

deserve whatever they get. The DNC should sue FOX for defamation.

[SpiralHawk]

6. O'reilly went to the Boston University college of communications

They should hear about his lying -- and demagogery --

What a low life.

[C_U_L8R]

7. They just can't help themselves, can they ??

and the hilarious part is... they get caught EVERY time.
What total freeekin idiots ... they are just making it worse
for themselves and their stupid shrinking party.
This is funny shit !!!!!!!!! Keep digging Faux !!!!!!

[rzemanfl]

8. This is way worse than CNN's habit of having the graphic for

*'s poll numbers be ten points higher than what their talking head is reading. I have seen that happen twice on their morning show within the past couple months.

[Bluebear]

9. Ministry of Propaganda. nt

[Supersedeas]

219. for the hearing imparied, no doubt -- catapult ready.....RELEASE

[lonestarnot]

10. The dems need to sue the piss out of FauX

[Smarmie Doofus]

61. Actually... that's not a bad idea.

Good way to get some PR momentum going against FOX. And underscore the GOP affiliation of Foley at the same time.

I'm going to email DNC.

[ComerPerro]

81. for several reasons, but this one really crossed the line...

[rodeodance]

149. incredibly stupid

[tblue]

88. Is anybody here an ATTORNEY?

DEMS SHOULD SUE FOX FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER! I'm talkin' class action, baby!

What a buncha lyin' weasely punks. When oh when will the left wing get a cable news outlet????????????????

Dont worry too much. Only dittoheads watch Fox and only they are confused enough to believe this garbage.

[bananas]

170. Fox viewers should have a class action suit

"You're making us stupid!"
use that study which shows Fox makes people stupid.
It was a study - asked people what their primary news source was, and then some questions about reality. Fox viewers got more more wrong answers than people who watched CNN, MSNBC, and people who didn't even pay attention to the news but just guessed at the answers.

edit: here's a blog entry about it:
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/714.html

Almost shocking was the extent to which Fox News viewers were mistaken. Those who relied on the conservative network for news, PIPA reported, were "three times more likely than the next nearest network to hold all three misperceptions. In the audience for NPR/PBS, however, there was an overwhelming majority who did not have any of the three misperceptions, and hardly any had all three."

[glitch]

234. Not just Fox, AP is doing it too...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2309442

[spanone]

11. In Politics There Are No Accidents.

[EVDebs]

199. ...just new Pearl Harbors, eh ? nt

[malaise]

12. This was deliberate

How sick are these people. Tell them it's too late.

[brettdale]

13. Once again and sorry to sound like a parrot

But email Faux and ring them with your complaints, contact the DNC, media matters, newshounds.us, crooksandliars, the MSM,huffingtonpost.com, Olbermann, Jon Stewart

IF THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE (AND IT WAS) SURLY LEGAL ACTION CAN BED TAKEN.

[tblue37]

54. I am certainly in favor of surly legal action.

They make me feel annoyed and sullen, too!

(I know it was a typo, but it was a really cute one.)

[bunny planet]

14. I just sent it to Keith,

Let's all let him know. I'm sure he'd love to hear about it.

[MidwestTransplant]

15. Got to tell Olberman too!

[rzemanfl]

18. I bet this will be on K.O. tomorrow night, too good for him to pass

up.

[Amonester]

89. COLBERT & STEWART 2!!

[mom cat]

16. Nice catch!

[Demobrat]

17. Good GOD but they are SCUM.

Lying sacks of shit that don't even bother to hide it. Makes me wish I believed in hell.

[kohodog]

19. Send this around. The RW propaganda machine needs to be exposed.

This was a Fox hit job. Good catch.

[Guaranteed]

20. Their license ought to be pulled. This is too much.

A television network can't keep lying like this and keep broadcasting.

[kestrel91316]

23. Really??? Who the hell is going to STOP them?

Certainly not the FCC.

[Eric J in MN]

40. Maybe the Democratic Party could sue. NT

NT

[krkaufman]

57. I'm sure that, if they ask, O'Reilly will issue a correction and apology.

not.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

118. Actually, I bet he will.......

....and deliver it with that smarmy arrogant shit-eating grin that says "Fuck you, Dems.".

[krkaufman]

225. Chuckle. That almost makes me want to catch his show tonight.

Almost. But not quite.

[karlrschneider]

35. Unfortunately, networks don't have or need licenses.

Any stations they happen to own do, but the 'network' is just content provider...they aren't subject to
FCC regulations (as if it would matter.)

[Ouabache]

186. I say seize Fox network FIRST when the revolution comes

nt

[KAZ]

21. This will end when you start taking out their assets.

No other way. Sorry.

[go west young man]

129. Not a bad idea...here's a list of advertisers to boycott.

http://skinthefox.com/sponsors_001.htm

[freefall]

217. Thanks for the list, go west. In that spirit. . . .

Alternatives to Adobe. Here is a list of freeware pdf software which I found by googling ".pdf freeware". A little research can probably turn up some reviews to help determine which are worthwhile.

http://www.cutepdf.com/

http://www.go2pdf.com/product.html

http://www.brothersoft.com/pdf_freeware_shareware_download_1.html

Thank heaven Google is not on the list of sponsors! Maybe we should email them and say please don't ever advertise on FauX!

I also just cancelled my account with Travelocity. There are getting to be more and more places I can't do business with. Oh well. I don't need most of that stuff and do need to save money.

freefall

[jimshoes]

22. I think rove and his

puppet news station have just jumped the shark. Even the brain dead twits that watch that show will know they're being flim-flammed. Even most of them don't like boy diddlers. They can't take that much doublethink.

[brettdale]

26. we need to tell everybody we know.

We need to tell everybody we know.

EMAIL THAT PIC TO ALL ON THE NATIONAL MEDIA LIST.

STRAT RINGING PEOPLE UP.

[rodeodance]

148. send this to ALL

[ClintonTyree]

159. As an aside, I love your sig pic......

Rance, Mohamitz......Rance, Mohamitz......Mr. Volman.......your cheeseburger! Love that flick!

Now, back to business. Screw FUX News! They're nothing but the White House propaganda wurlitzer. :grr:

[Julius Civitatus]

24. TRUTHINESS to the "Nth" power

If you don't like reality... just make it up. It's the Republican way.

[lies and propaganda]

25. and Tonites Worlds Worst Person as usual....

nasty big head Billo. Beyond reprehensible.

[young_at_heart]

27. Have they corrected it yet?

Have they apologized yet?

[brettdale]

28. The D was left up

Apprently the D by Foley's name was left up during the Mann Coulter segement and I have been hearing that they did it yesterday also.

This is SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH.

Could the DNC get lawyers invovled if its proven they did this on purpose.

[brettdale]

30. kick

kick

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. I hope that they become a laughingstock for this....

not that they already aren't to most intelligent Americans.

[Octafish]

33. Propaganda 101

Be the FIRST to lie. Afterward, even when told the truth, it's much harder to change a person's mind -- once it's gotten made.

[Gregorian]

36. They had to use it. They didn't have any R's left.

I recognize that D. It's the same one they used when they were impeaching Clinton.

The problem is, so many R's are being used for the republican scandals.

Of course it wasn't an accident. Any child knows who Foley is by now.

[Alcibiades]

59. I hope the children do know who Foley is

So they can steer clear of him.

[Joey Liberal]

37. How pathetic is Faux News?

Fucking pathetic.

[brettdale]

38. I would use the word

Illegal

[Eric J in MN]

39. "The Daily Show" won't have it tonight because it tapes...

...before "The O'Reilly Factor" airs.

Tomorrow night is the earliest, if at all.

[Eric J in MN]

41. I used to say that I want the Democrats to have their version...

...of "Fox News." But after tonight's "Fox News" sliminess, I'll try to phrase that differently.

[Old and In the Way]

42. Subliminal messaging.

I think this was meant for casual imprinting. Linking "D" with scandal/gay/resignation. This way, when they mention that both sides are equally responsible for the low ethics/morality, the Bushbots search their feeble minds and remember all of the "D"'s they saw on Fox News. They won't remember the facts, but they will remember "D" tied to scandals.

[ClusterFreak]

105. Exactly right.

They are so desperate now to prop up a dying regime, they are simply nakedly trying to reel in the most ill-informed, the least politically astute, the most fucking retarded to the fold, to wring out one more vote for the repukes next month. Beyond pathetic.

[Cobalt Violet]

43. They are scum. Scum News.

This is awful. I hope some real Dems. in Congress are paying attention and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[Kickin_Donkey]

44. Pure propoganda ...

Not even subtle. It's an intentional, bald-faced lie.

[brettdale]

45. kick

kick

[Ilsa]

46. The White House's "Ministry of Truth" does it again! nt

[truthisfreedom]

47. this shows JUST HOW FORKING SCARED they are. they know that if the pubs

lose this fall, faux will be toast.

[Dinger]

53. What WILL faux Do When The pugs Lose In A Landslide To End All Landslides?

One can only imagine . . .

[badgerpup]

48. Ya know, I was wondering if/when they'd try this...

...just didn't expect it to happen on TV...
keep forgetting about that goddamn-noisy-box*, since I don't have one...


* Robert Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land:patriot:

[Evergreen Emerald]

49. It is really insulting to their base--who will never get the insult

As they are too stupid to get it. Bush's base is so uninformed that the only information they get is from Fox "News." We know Fox "News" is simply propaganda. But the backwash (to quote Colbert) believes every lie they are told.

[brettdale]

51. Has any democrat of anyone in the MSM

Mentioned what Faux News had done yet, or is it just on the internet.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

50. Do they even EVER show him labelled as "R-FLA"?

[Pacifist Patriot]

190. That's what I want to know.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

52. Desperation.

Bleak, wailing, whining, simpering, whimpering desperation.

Makes me smile, actually. :)

[Tarc]

95. Just the word I was thinking of as well

Watching the Bush administration, and the GOP as well, try to vainly save themselves from this mess is both sad an hilarious as well. Like watching Napoleon try to still make people think he's in charge while living in exile.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

239. You go back as far as Napolean?

Me Too! :)

[walldude]

55. Hehe.. how desperate can you get

Let them embarass themselves. There's not going to be any lawsuit, they would just say it was a mistake or blame it on a tech. What I'm going to do is send this picture to O'Reilly and demand a retraction. This way he has to actually say to his audience that Foley is a Repug and not a Dem... That will have much more of an impact than a pointless lawsuit.

[AtomicKitten]

56. after hearing Katherine Harris going off about how Dems were

withholding information and not protecting the children, I put nothing beyond the capabilities of the Republicans to try to quash this scandal with whatever means necessary including painting Foley as a Democrat.

[D23MIURG23]

63. Don't forget drudge blaming the pages for egging foley on...

I didn't think it could get better than that. This is definitely in the same league though.

:grr: :nuke: :nuke:

[AtomicKitten]

68. ah, yes, the beasts

he must get a hard cash bonus from the GOP for this level of tripe

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

104. Yes, poor Foley couldn't help the fact that they are so HOT

[brettdale]

58. is there a email contact address

for the huffingtonpost.com ?

[Warren DeMontague]

60. Breaking News: George Bush eats Poo, Rupert Murdoch Fucks Baby Seals.

Whoops! I guess that was an "oversight"!

[jmowreader]

110. You mean they don't?

Back to the real problem: Faux wants its viewers to pretend any scumbag in Congress is a Democrat.

What they're not pointing out: if you took ALL the Republican scumbags in Congress and made them move to the Democratic Party, there'd be MAYBE five Republicans left in the House and two in the Senate. Maybe. It would probably be half that.

[nam78_two]

62. These people are just SO sleazy

This is just SO maddening....

How do you fight this type of sleaze....sheesh.....

shameless...completely utterly shameless, conscienceless....

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[mark wayne]

64. Martin Bormann would be proud!

O'Reilley is such a tool.

[Generic Brad]

65. They just make shit up!

Why does anyone watch thier blatant propoganda? :grr:

[peacetalksforall]

66. Did Rove come up with this? O;Reilly? The show's Director?

A staff member?

They're going to say it was an honest mistake?

And we go back to our life - crapped on by useless Republicans and knowing they have NO NONE NADA HONOR or INTEGRITY.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

102. They have to CORRECT it first before they can say it was a mistake.

[emmadoggy]

67. Holy #@%*#%@*#%$@!! Those *@*#*$*%*#*, @&#$*@#$&%*&@#, #*$&@*#'s!!!

I have no words. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Yep, all those Faux viewers who don't know Foley from the streak in their undies will lap it up and no matter who or how many times it is corrected, they will still believe he is a Dem. Nothing else will matter. They are too blind and ignorant from the Fox propaganda they imbibe and too thoughtless to question it when others correct it.

Un-freakin' Real. God, I hope someone slaps Fox silly over this.

[pa28]

69. This just another chapter in Republican partisan warfare.

Is there any doubt they would hit us out of the park if Foley really was a Democrat? Take a moment to imagine what they would do.

It's time to "define" the Republicans for a change and make Foley their poster boy.

:rant:

[go west young man]

133. I wouldn't be surprised if O'leilly misplaced his loofa in Foley's ass.

That's a good rumour to start with considering O'leilly loves to spread things. By things I mean lies.

[mattomjoe]

70. Is that screen cap from tonight?

Why is it dated 6/3/06 at the bottom by BradBlog?

[brentspeak]

72. Good catch.

[D23MIURG23]

73. Probably a typo meant to say 10/3/06.

The caption does say "former congressman".

[TheBaldyMan]

87. the name of the image ends in _100306.jpg n/t

[brentspeak]

71. Hopefully, the Daily Show will highlight this tomorrow

[Skittles]

74. that's how stupid they think - or KNOW - their viewers are

YUP

[BlooInBloo]

75. lol! Anyone supporting any republican deserves them in power.

[PDittie]

76. Here's a screenshot:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

97. omfg

omfg.

speechless. . .

[Wetzelbill]

77. I would like to say I was surprised at how low these people are

but....

:)

[brainshrub]

78. That's pathetic.

Just when you think they can't get more under-handed, something like this happens.

[TheBaldyMan]

79. They report, you decide

another example of 'fair and balanced(TM)' reporting from Fox.

[and-justice-for-all]

80. Thats what I call...

..An Acknowledgement of failure and an act of desperation to try and keep the seats they are about to lose.

Its pathetic...They have to sick so low and worm their way out of it. When they could have acknowledged their guilt and ask the public to forgive them for this, yet another, tragic sitution. But instead an like all repuke asshats, they would rather continue to lie and pass the buck.

What a sad, sad, party.

[Erika]

82. Faux News is a joke

This deception should surprise no one. They depend on the weak minded.

[cboy4]

83. They are revolting

:puke:

[EFerrari]

84. Jeesus, these guys will try ANYTHING.

:wow:

[The Wizard]

85. more evidence

Pox is run by the spirit of Dr. Goebbels. Soon they will self destruct.

[kangaroo77]

86. A lawsuit should follow

I heard it was 3 videos that Fox showed which included him as a democrat. that's no coincidence.

[brettdale]

90. This is what Im thinking

This is not just the usual spin and lies, this takes it one step further.

Has any MSM mentioned this yet.

[Bretttido]

91. This story is the straw that breaks the GOP's back

And they will do ANYTHING to try and remain in power. There is no limit to what they will do in attempts to cling onto the power that is slipping through their fingers. Their.... precious....

[brettdale]

92. DUers who have you contacted

Ive written to CNN, Olbermann, mediamatters, newshounds, DNC, Michael Moore and crooks and Liars.

Anyone contacted ABC,CBS,NBC, washington Post etc etc etc???

[rodeodance]

151. you have been very buzy --productive. I sent two

[tblue]

93. Fox's credibility is down below zero

A Rovian move if ever there was one. But remember, it's the Repuglican leadership whose ass is on the line. This is their latest attempt at damage control Be ready. There is surely more to come.

Hell is too good for these people.

[niceypoo]

94. Oversight my ass!

This is definately not oversight.....this is an intentional act by fox to fool the morons who watch O'Liely et al.

[Crunchy Frog]

96. That's a new fucking low, even for Faux.

The propaganda from all the media organs has been getting more and more brazen lately. I wonder if some sort of legal recourse is available, even though I'm sure it was just an innocent mistake. :eyes:

[brettdale]

99. There has to be some legal issue

There must be legal steps the DNC can take, im guessing though that tomorrow no one will be talking about it.

[conscious evolution]

250. Of course there is

It is called a war crimes tribunal

[AIJ Alom]

98. This is all part of the spin game. They're hoping to save face by

creating confusion. The morons that watch FoxNews and believe it as if it is the scripture will now go out in public and say that Foley is a Democrat. The hope is that by spreading this misinformation that this solely Republican bombshell can be somewhat diffused. Blatant lies. More Republican spin. Now we have the evidence let's use it against them.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

101. "NOW we have the evidence of spin?"

yes, FINALLY, it was so shrouded before!!

[BRLIB]

100. These SOBs need to be sued Big Time! Dozens of

lawsuits, from the Dem Party seeking damages, to progressives challenging their FCC license, need to be filed!
I'll pay $10 or more as party to a class action lawsuit against these scum and liars!
Any DU lawyers here?

[brettdale]

103. rawstory now has the link to bradblog

Keep emailing the MSM and make sure they report on the story.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

106. They're caught red handed

Kick and Rec

[Erika]

107. You think W's adminsitration will prosecute Faux/Bushco News?

Again, LMAO.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

224. No, I said they were caught red handed

I also think that this admin is the most corrupt in the history of America. And considering some of our past, that's a very powerful accusation.

[behonest]

109. Shameless

No matter what these people do they never admit they are wrong. They are pathological. Its a wonderful example of how you can't trust a republican to tell the truth-ever.

[Eric J in MN]

108. Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn7qCzV5sNM

[Stardust]

111. And the CLERGY that molested HIM was a Dem, too!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

204. And the alcohol he drank was made by Democrats!

:evilgrin: :silly: :spank: Seriously, Faux snooze, have you no shame? We already know O'LIEly doesn't.

[orleans]

112. duke cunningham is also a democrat, so is bob ney, so is george

ryan from illinois, so is jack abramoff, so is ....

yes, all the psychopaths, criminals and molesters. they're all democrats!

(didn't you know?)

[UrbScotty]

113. Is that how desperate they're getting? (nt)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

114. Black is White. War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength. Thanks, Bradblog,

for posting this!

[truedelphi]

227. Yep I think many of us only watch the news

So that whatever is said can be inverted - THEN we know the truth

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

115. Where will the "THEY PUT AN X OVER CHENEY!!!!!" crowd fall on this one?

The silence will be deafening I predict.

[Amonester]

116. So Is that bu$h~brain's "October surprise?"

If so, methinks turdy's losing it (will backfire).

[Zambero]

117. Fair And Balanced!

Yes, Mr. Foley gets to be both a Republican AND Democrat. He's obviously too much of a burden for the Republicans to handle by themselves. Now, resign Ms. Pelosi!

[oldboy101]

119. Foley switched parties and then resigned!

Turd Blosson, AKA Karl Rove, suggested that Foley quietly switch parties and then resign. That way after everybody got all worked up about this the Repukes could say, "Yes another Democrat has been caught attempting to seduce kids and has been forced to resign by Speaker Hasturd."

Could this be Rove's October surprise?

[tblue]

122. Is this true or just a guess? Because if it's true the plot is thickening

by the minute.

[judaspriestess]

120. this is a desperate appeal to the christians from hell

that have chosen to stay home on election night. Its so sad that these freaks will actually believe what they see because they watch nothing else but faux noose. They will be summoned like zombies to the voting machines. SCARY!!

[Erika]

124. The Bushbots count of these idiots.

Sad,isn't it?

[Erika]

121. O'Reilly and Faux/Bushco news is a joke

And people know it. They keep on lying and no one cares.

[EFerrari]

123. Brad, your server is really slow tonight.

I guess, that's good news in a way. But, fyi.

[Synnical]

136. I'm guessing just really busy!

Great catch, Brad!

[jayfish]

125. Fox News Is Not Required To Report Accurately.

http://www.answers.com/topic/jane-akre

...FOX appealed and won, after the court declared that FCC policy against falsification that FOX violated was just a policy and not a "law, rule, or regulation", and so the whistle blower law did not apply.

FOX did not dispute that it tried to force Akre to broadcast a false story, but argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports.

They can broadcast any damn thing they please.

Jay

[brettdale]

126. This really goes beyond that

WHAT THEY DID TODAY WAS SICK

WHERE IS THE REST OF THE MEDIA GOING NUTS, THEY CALLED FOLEY A DEMOCRAT.

OCTOBER 6TH 2006 IS THIER TEN ANNIVESARY, I HOPE EVERY DUER PROTESTS OUTSIDE FOX NEWS BUILDINGS.

[Crunchy Frog]

142. They may have the right to lie,

but they don't have the right to slander. I hope that the DNC will seriously take this up with them. I hope that other media outlets will use this to point out that Faux has no credibility (yeah, right).

[McCamy Taylor]

127. Left a complaint with Faux now to send complaints where they count.

To Democratic members of Congress!

[wiley]

128. The grass roots and the DNC must respond to this in every state. Already

in New Jersey, for example, Tom Kean's little son, Tom Kean, Jr., has ads running about how his daddy got Cheney's boy toy Alberto Gonzalez - who is supposed to be the US Attorney General instead of the goto guy who ignores laws, makes up wild interpretations of the Constitution, and investigates Democratic candidates to help Republican candidates cover up their crimes, incompetence or lack of qualifications - to bring some ridiculous charges against Democratic Senator Menendez of New Jersey. Kean is running these commercials in a desperate attempt to deflect the shame and disgrace that his father (and he) have brought upon the State of New Jersey and the US. It's like having a whole row of pots calling the kettle black. It's backed up and seemingly verified by The Newark Star Ledger. Some people will unfortunately believe this crap, as they will believe the Fox News Foley (D-FL) thing.

We need to let every CD in the country know this is what is being done, how the Republicans are playing this. Honest, straightforward folks throughout the country, especially in Red states and areas, do respond with disgust and anger at this level of corruption, manipulation, and dishonesty. Let them see how they were duped and lied to. Let them see how the Republican Party has manipulated their news channels and newspapers and lied to them about everything from who owns the ports in the US to what is actually happening in Iraq. Don't blame them or accuse them, let them know that decent, hard working people don't have time to check everything they hear or see, and those running the Republican Party have deceived us all.

To let this opportunity go by would be the greatest mistake Democrats made in decades, and the same Republican child molesters and holier than thou perverts, Republican criminals and Republican incompetents will still be in office after Nov. 7. Now would be a great time to let all other stations know about this as well. Because this is what the Republican Party is doing 24/7 everywhere around the country, right NOW!

The LTTE in today's The New York Post, another Rupert Murdoch mouthpiece, will tell you exactly how the corrupt child molesting criminal scum called Republicans are going to try to destroy the truth and confuse people

[Rex]

130. Well they tried to set up Bill (C), that didn't work but hey

when you work for the BFEE, you lie and do what it takes to keep them in power. Bill (O) was probably off set trying to make his new secretary have phone-sex. It is the network of fools.

[kevinbgoode]

131. Is it not possible at all to sue that phony news network? ? ?

That is most certainly an untrue statement on their screen - and if it appeared that many times, it was likely deliberate. At the very least, we should be mounting petitions to kick them off cable systems in our localities - those regulated services should be held responsible for what they sell as "news" on their systems.

[rhiannon55]

134. Unbelievable!

[Donailin]

191. it is unbelievable

these people have no fucking shame. None.

The whole lot of them are attacking democrats for making it political. They don't even see how they set themselves up as the champions of sexual morality in the first place!

Live by the sword, die by the sword!

135. This, on a show subtitled the "No-Spin Zone"

I guess, according to FOX 'News', black is the new white. yes means no, the sun comes up in the evening, and so on.

And I though I had seen everything. Someone should take a sledgehammer to Roger Ailes' nuts. If they can be found.

Pointed out on other blogs.

153. the amount of cyber space

this story is getting on DU is absurd. It's a sex scandal that's pushing Citizens' Rights issues off the front pages.

We should be talking about Americam having turned into the Soviet Union last week, I wouldn't be surprised if this Foley Folly isn't just another Rove scam.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

200. we can talk about both.

it's important because right wingers don't care about the death of democracy, but they are obsessed about sex.

[doctor_garth]

212. both?

did you see DU's home page last night? 99% sex.

I agree though, right-wingers are obsessed with sex, which means they rarely do it.

Marlene Dietrich used to say: Americans are obsessed with sex, we Europeans do it.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

220. not really 99% sex.

99% sex-predator. the difference is rather striking if you think about it.

160. FOX NEWS & Bill O’Reilly labels Rep. Foley a Democrat (3 TIMES!) PIC***

snip...

By: John Amato on Wednesday, October 4th, 2006 at 12:04 AM - PDT

See anything wrong with this graphic? The O'Reilly Factor ran it in not one, but two segments and posted it three times. I can understand if FOX and The Factor made an error the first time, but to post it repeatedly should be a firing offense, The most watched show on FOX News has now labeled the former Republican Congressman Mark Foley, who is in the middle of a sexual predator scandal that has Hastert's career on the ropes —a Democrat. Was it an error or done by choice? I report–you decide.

Looks like you're doing a lot of Photo Art tonight, this is the second new one I've seen tonight!

How's the reconstruction going?

I bet you're glad the Hurricanes have stayed off shore, so far this year.

[Swamp Rat]

169. It's going very slowly

I got a new, albeit leaky, new roof, but the contractor has not returned to do the interior work for which he was ALREADY PAID! :mad:

I still have huge holes in the ceilings where bugs and dirt comes in every day.... shit I could go on and on, but at least I am home and finally have hot water.

Did you see this one? :)

[truthisfreedom]

164. this just flushes the stools down the toilet every time they put it on the

air.

faux is going down down down down down.

[JI7]

167. didn't O'Reilly go to Thailand or some other country for underage girls ?

as did Neil Bush.

[NewJeffCT]

172. They will blame it all on a low level staffer

just an innocent mistake made by a low-level staffer who didn't even notice the error and never changed the graphic.

Obviously, it's not true... but, how can you prove otherwise?

[Liberal In Texas]

189. Even if a low level staffer entered the thing wrong, it should NEVER have

aired 3 times. The director, producer, and executive producer should have seen it. The director should not have put it on the air past the first time, the producers should have seen it and fixed it. The CG (character generator) operators who are supposed to double check this "auto-font" system should have either caught it the first time or fixed it after the first airing.

I know how this stuff is entered (I used to work in TV) and how easy it is to correct. It could have been corrected from any computer terminal in the control room or the news room. This is either gross incompetence or (as it really looks) was done ON PURPOSE!

BTW, the exact time and who entered the information is resident on the computer system. If you hear that they say they don't know who did it, they're lying.

[NewJeffCT]

205. You're right, it should not have happened

However, if Fox says it was an error made by a low-level staffer, is there a way to dispute that in a 10-15 second sound bite?

You just know that Fox - if called on this - will blame it on the error of a low level staffer that just "slipped through the cracks"

[Red Right and BLUE]

171. Oh my god.

How many times a year can I say this?

Jus when you think they've hit their lowest point, they come along and stun me with the depths they'll go to. After so long, none of us should be surprised, but I'm taken aback nonetheless. Especially by how blatant this is and how stupid it makes them look.

[brettdale]

173. it has to be the lowest point

In Faux history.

[Imagevision]

174. FOXnews is so ashamed of Republicans, They switched Foley 4 a DEM...

Rove must have called in the idea...

[mogster]

175. Two snapshots that speaks volumes

Foley speaking about sex offenders on Fox before scandal broke.


Foley on Fox after scandal broke.


Both from O'Reilly show.

[brettdale]

176. keep kicked

[SlavesandBulldozers]

201. unbelievable.

wait. . . wrong word.

[NobleCynic]

177. ....You're kidding

[wageslave71]

178. First post

I have enjoyed visiting DU for some time now. I guess it took this new low from Fox to illicit a response from me. I hope this pathetic maneuver comes too late to fool very many. The parties responsible for this "mistake" should be in prison getting Foley'd by some rather brutish men... or maybe Coulter has taken care of half that scenario already.

[krispifried]

184. Too bad

you think prison rape is worthy of jokes...

[wageslave71]

198. Too bad...

if you thought I was joking.

180. And the sheeple sit on their couch eating cheese puffs believing...

the Democrats are the pedophiles.

So this is how it goes with a republican smear campaign, just brush your sins off on the opponents and you will be OK.

[TorchTheWitch]

181. Goes hand in hand with this...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2306201

On Faux&Friends it was mentioned "What I want to know is have the Democrats been sitting on this for months?" They're blatantly trying to dupe stupids into thinking Foley's a Dem and this is a Dem scandal. Also, to make the not quite so stupids think that this is a bi-partisan issue and Dems are JUST AS BAD (so Repukes can think that Dems are just as bad so no need to give up their loyalty to Repukes and vote for them still).

The stink of Rove is overpowering. Unfortunately, with stupids and not quite so stupids it works.

This is the ONE thing that shows absolutely without question that FAUX is an arm of the Repuke party... the most blatant propaganda worthy of Bagdad Bob.

I feel like I'm living in the old Soviet Union... just without the necessity to wear a giant fur hat.

[Ganja Ninja]

182. Thank You FOX news.

For keeping this story alive and demonstrating once again the basic gist of it. Republican's are CRAVEN HABITUAL LIARS! You can't trust a Republican any farther than you can throw one. They will stoop to any depth to hold on to power.

[krispifried]

183. TeeVee

is the twin of the nazi-infested national security state and shares its goals.

[Vinca]

187. This is one step too far.

How do you make a non-exposed-boobie FCC complaint? We ought to flood the FCC with complaints.

[DoYouEverWonder]

188. Of course they use a clip with a black man behind him

Seems they want to reinvent Foley has a liberal DEM or at least make that impression on their viewers.

[conscious evolution]

192. Isn't propoganda a war crime?

[woodsgirl]

244. Now that's

something to think about....'cause there has been a lot of that going around. NYTimes, MSNBC, CNN so many. The Bangor News in Maine isn't using AP much anymore since they went over to the dark side. It is no accident that they got it wrong.Disinformation, propaganda, KKKarl. Jeff Gannon sitting in the WH press corpse for two years before anybody noticed he was not a journalist. That's the kind of thing KKarl and Bush get a good laugh over.These people should go to Hague.

[conscious evolution]

248. Plenty of precedent for it.

[wishlist]

193. They know many of their viewers don't watch news on any other channel

A good way to give false info to those millions of Repub diehards under their sway who have been convinced not to watch any other news besides Fox.

[Blackbird_Highway]

194. And Impeach that other Democrat!

and that other horrible Democrat, George W. Bush, must be
impeached for leading us into that terrible Iraq war. Damm
those Democrats!

Seriously folks, I just sent an email to the DNC pledging a
contribution if they file a lawsuit against FOX before the
election. I hope everybody else does the same thing. Even if
it fails, this suit needs to happen to get publicity and show
people how FOX is just completely unfair and unbalanced.

If the Dems can't even do this, then I just don't see them
getting my vote any more than the Rs. I'm thinking third party
or nothing for me.

[HughBeaumont]

195. Just another day at King George News Network.

I take Weekly World News more seriously than I do this flag-wrapped pile of partisan shit.

[ProSense]

196. Well, this is proof that Faux knows

how deep the shit is! Excellent screen shot!

[sinkingfeeling]

202. "Fair and balanced, but total lies" ...new motto for Faux!!

203. What if anything has been done by faux to correct and chide themselves

for this?

[Auggie]

206. Call Fox advertisers ASAP and threaten to boycott their products!

The sponsors will put more heat on Fox than anything else.

[raggedcompany]

207. that's awful..just awful

whenever O'Reilly finally dies, I'll toast his demise. and piss on his grave, if I get a chance.

[swimboy]

208. Those rat-fink fuckers

:grr:

[ryanus]

211. Definitely not an accident

I was checking out the reaction to the scandal on FreeRepublic and there were people who had assumed he was a democrat and other people had to point out that he was a republican. One quote was something like, "well I just assumed he was a democrat." Fox News is playing this fiddle.

[maxsolomon]

221. but will be spun as inadvertent

it was deliberately aimed at confusing the senior voter - who makes up most of fox's demographic.

[ck4829]

213. Every idiot and his brother will soon be referring to him as a Democrat

Just watch.

[alfredo]

214. This bit of Fox deceit was mentioned on MSNBC this morning.

The Republican shill that was on tried to drown out the woman who was hosting the show. He didn't want us to hear what Fox was trying to do.

[npincus]

215. Wrong... it's: Mark Foley (R-NAMBLA)

[Beelzebud]

[Fluffdaddy]

222. INCREDIBLE......indeed

[ronnykmarshall]

223. On our local Fox station ....

"Good Day LA" ---- yes I watch it, the show's a scream.

Dorothy Luce mentioned this and rolled her eyes when she said "Oh, it was be some Fox News joke". I wonder how long La Luce will have a job.

[rniel]

226. Can you imagine if CNN

Had done this same thing. Labelling a democrat with a (R) we'd never hear the end of the outrage.

[Virginian]

228. Worst Person in the World -- Fox News.

Couldn't spin it so they lied about it.

[Joe Chi Minh]

235. It's the Dirty Digger's organ, isn't it? Murdoch's.

[LibertyLover]

229. Well, for all the good it will do

I e-mailed one of my senators, Barbara Mikulski, to let her know about this and to say that I hoped she would bring it to the attention of the Senate. Yeah, right. Even if she did, like it would do any good.

[smb]

230. Their Usual Journalistic Standards

[slackmaster]

231. The media putting out bad information?

I am shocked, SHOCKED!

[bling bling]

232. There is something SOO wrong with O'Reilly in the head.

He is so gross in every possible way that I don't even care what he has to say about anything.

Anyone who watches O'Reilly is already a Republican, is already mis-informed, and is just happy to belong to the GOP slime machine whether their facts are true or not.

They seriously don't give a shit about the truth anyway. Whatever side the GOP takes is the side they take. Period.
