News Bulletin: Fox News lies like a dog about Judge Vaughn Walker's Proposition 8 ruling. Or maybe not! The cultural warrior fanboys are expected to drag their knuckles on this topic and Fox News is glad to lead them by the nose on it.

1. I do not understand...
Why are people even remotely shocked anymore when Fox News distorts the truth?

2. You're right...
... I think Roger Ailes put it in the network's mission statement.

5. EXACTLY! I would be more shocked if it were reported that they accurately told a story.

3. Definitely worth viewing if you can put up with Liz Trotta, an engine of
the Conservative misinformation machine.

I think I'll subscribe to his channel. And follow him on Twitter.

4. 52% is an overwhelming majority?
I guess if 51% is a mandate- especially when it supports something right wingers want. But just watch the reaction when 52% vote for something liberals want...

9. As Cenk Uygur pointed out recently, polls show
a number of liberal positions on various issues to be in the 60s and 70s percent among the American public, yet the righties will still say "the American people don't want this". Well if 52% is an overwhelming majority, then 60-75% should be damn near unanimous.

12. Nice catch...
... I'd forgotten about that. Fox News, of course, ignored this. OTOH, critize Bush even mildly and you're not a "true American."

7. Fox says the rights of the minority are up for a vote?
So we can vote to take the guns away from the NRA? Cool!
