Look at this travesty of a "news" network parading around with partisan messages, omitting all the facts, and kissing the behinds of the Repulsivcans.

1. i debated for a minute

and decided I just cannot watch 6 minutes of that dumdass. You summed up fox news very well: partisan messages, omitting all the facts, and kissing the behinds of the Repulsivcans

2. Thank you, and I normally agree, I can't watch Bill0 or Glenn on

Fox clips, but this guy used to be on CNN, and, obviously, gave up the "ethics" of balanced reporting when he signed onto Fox.

The first minute of my clip, by the way, is our President talking about how much MONEY the CBO estimates the new HCR bill would SAVE!
Fox, of course, never bothered to air that clip. Instead, they sloganeer for Repubsivcan Senator Gregg of NH.

3. true

ignoring facts is what Fox is known for, they just don't know it, becuase... well, its a fact :)

I'm sure he was paid nicely to give up his ethics to become a puppet, I often wonder how they live with themselves.

5. It may not have anything to do with ethics

Most of these cable "anchors" are reading teleprompters of what has been written FOR them, not BY them. Most of them are also dim-witted enough to not question it all. As we all know, unless you are willing, and have the time, to surf the internet and read, you can be pretty detached from whats really going on in the world.

You could very well be right, and there are certainly overtly unethical people like BillO the clown and Glenn Pecker.

4. If you think this is going to save a single dime you're nuts

This thing is going to be bleeding red ink from the first moment it starts to spend. Health care insurance company stock didn't go up 10% overnight in anticipation of less money in the system. Our government adopting Enron accounting techniques is nothing to cheer about.

7. Tell that to the CBO, and Obama, it's not ME that said it.

If you think they are all nuts, OKAY!

8. Based on past performance

they are all freaking certifiable.

This government is too corrupt to even understand what actual spending reduction looks like, forget about being able to manage it in reality. This little cynical game of pushing costs off their books and onto states/localities/individuals, then needing to subsidize the same due to the fact that people can't afford these extra expenses in the middle of a depression is most certainly NOT reform.

6. If there is one concrete fact that came out of the health care 'debate' it is....

That Jeff Sessions can't count :rofl:

this whole thing started with Sessions's double counting the cost and then claiming that the Obama administration DIDN'T double count the costs and released his report after talking to the CBO chief on the phone thus making it sound like his double counting was sourced from the CBO. Fox News of course wrote it up to sound that way and it was on the front page of Google news the day before the final vote...and didn't change anything other than to give BillO etc. a talking point to unleash before Christmas so their mindless listeners had a KILLER point to bring up and enter into the mainstream consciousness.

9. As someone pretty well-versed in media propaganda tactics, also notice:

The fox "news" graphic for their 'health care countdown' segments conveniently places the 'S' in fox new'S' between 'health' and 'care' to visually be seen subliminally as 'Health Scare'. Believe me I'm not looking too deep into it, that's how propaganda works. Fear. See for yourself at 1:32 into the vid. This is the graphic they use over and over.
