Fox News is NOT carrying the town hall meeting.
The truth? They know their lemmings can't handle the truth.

"Fair and balanced" MY ASS.

1. Did they switch away once they saw how well it was going?
Or did they just ignore it from the jump? Wow! Uggh.... But I'm not surprised.

4. I'm guessing that when they saw that it was going to be a civil discussion...
...they bailed.

2. Of course not. You can't heckle Obama from your tee-vee.

3. Ah, be fair...
They are carrying it on their fourth rate business channel that garners about .00001 of a rating point.

6. There's the proof. Truth be damned.
Sounds like Rupert needs to buy some more media outlets so he can hide the truth everywhere.

13. Chickenshits that they are, no.
But if this doesn't confirm their complicity in the fear-mongering, I don't know what will.

KO has it right -- it's ClusterFox.

8. Not surprising.
They can't have something like truth mess up their agenda.

9. Nothing like covering a huge Presidential Factcheck vs. covering the corporate/faux fiction.
Disgusting.

10. Most fun I ever had--watching Faux News on election night, 2008.
They didn't know WHAT to do! :rofl:

12. Of course not
There would eb real information about the bill. IT would interfere with the catapulting of Fox propaganda.

14. Conversely, when Pretzel-heiney* was doing his mouth flapping, everyone but FOX
wasn't bothering to air it... :)

Better that a cable station not be bothered because more don't want or care about what's on cable.

15. So what.
Fox News is not our constituency and not our target audience.

16. They will tell everyone after the town hall what the president really meant.
They can't risk their viewers hearing it from the source themselves.

18. It's weird how Conservatives live in a bubble.
Whenever I speak to one, I'm blown away by the number of outright stupid talking points they spit out, and how they've somehow managed to miss the biggest pieces of news.

20. That's a good sign -- they must not think that the RW will be able to disrupt it.
If they expected disruption, we can be sure that they would cover every minute.

22. there are absolutely no 'standards' for declaring yourself a 'news entity'
it's become so partisan that fox news won't run the President Of the United States town hall meeting.

this says all that needs to be said about faux
