Fox is running this headline: Ratings Agencies warning Democrats
of possible downgrade. Both S&P as well as Moody.

What is this warning DEMOCRATS. What about those
obstructive Republicans.

Or is this Faux rewriting a story???

2. If they got a warning of an impending bomb detonation...
they'd swear Al Qaida's threat was only against Democrats... Faux news needs to be shunned and isolated, so that it falls to the trash bin of history. Now that Murdoch is on the ropes, we can only hope some come to their senses and turn that shit off.

3. If Fox was around 200 or so years ago...
..they would have 'warned the British not to take our guns away' maybe? ;)

4. This just in: Democrats threatened by Global Warming.
Right-thinking (especially far-Right thinking) people will not be affected.

5. Fox feels like the Democrats are not capulating fast enough
they really want all their concessions.

6. classic propaganda technique... called diversion
and sadly, it works.

That is why they are running it. Since you are monitoring Fox, are they telling us the ins and outs in the UK?

7. Moody's avoided
placing blame and specifically refused to speculate on the appropriate means of resolving the debt ceiling issue.

8. The downgrade would be because of the debt ceiling, correct?
Whose party includes a solid wall of idiots refusing to raise the debt ceiling under virtually any circumstances? Which party has the largest group of default denialists? Which party did the MOST over the past 10 years to drive up the national debt/deficit?

Note: This is rhetorical only. I don't expect any intelligent response from Fox News (or its listeners/viewers/hosts).

10. yes, it's clever re-framing
the idea just floats around until in implants in the brains of Fox viewers that the cricis is all the Dems fault. Gee, how'd that happen???

13. How does Moody's have ANY credibility after the mortgage crisis?
much less the power to bring the government to its knees?
