Fox (Shills) News Channel Scores Again!!

Sun, 09/16/2007 - 3:52pm — Shane-O

Despite the fact that the biggest news This Week was the testimony of General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker before Congress regarding the Iraq War, both men seemingly refused to Face the Nation and Meet the Press.

Not surprisingly, the ~~esteemed General chose~~ White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and Communications Counselor Ed Gillespie directed that Fox “News” anchor Brit Hume get the exclusive interview with General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker.

No Sunday morning news shows. No Shieffer, no Russert. Only fat-pitches down the middle.

…and we accuse Fox of simply being the propaganda wing for the Bush White House… silly us…

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
