I beginning to think they have a big board in their control room with a bunch of scary sentences...which are hooked up to buttons that cause the sayings to be transmitted to the screen.
The control guys/gals take a bunch of Oxycodone and Clonazepam...get totally screwed up, throw bean bags at the buttons and hope they hit something that makes a tiny bit of sense.

Either that or they have the intelligence of a glue gun.

from being able to equate 1+1=2.

This is why Foxnews viewers are so woefully uniformed about current events and practically everything else.

They also are doing it so that they can argue out of both sides of their mouth that they did cover whatever point they are accused of muddling or not covering at any moment.

They show the truth and balance it with the other side, you know, the other truth, then viewers can pick the story they like. We report, you decide.

is that the Saudi royal family has an important financial stake in Fox News.
I can't believe that the righties are OK with this.

They could report that Sarah Palin is really Vice President, and has been since January 2009. Not only would 20 million people believe them, but their advertising revenue would probably spike up 15% upon their broadcasting the report.
