Of course it's Fox News

Do you ever play that game where you see a headline on a news aggregation site and try to guess the source? I have a Top Stories section on my Google home page and whenever I guess Fox News, 99.9% of the time I am correct.

This is the one I guessed correctly from this morning:

"Obama facing broad criticism for 'politicizing' bin Laden raid"

No I never actually click the link and read them but I have to wonder how they define "broad." Also I haven't seen their headlines concerning the recent put down of Jimmy Carter. I'm sure they'll get to it.

read something like this:

good news: "Bush does/says ..."

bad news: "Kerry responsible for votes/legislation affecting ..."

Oh, wait ... they "never politicized" anything ...

And, given their general misogyny, they probably mean they found some "broad" who opposes Obama's ad. Maybe it was Ann Coulter.

That's kind of sexist isn't it, what has Ann Coulter ever done to deserve that?

Also in the Top Stories section was this headline:

"Rupert Murdoch not fit to run a major company, says a British panel"

I guessed not Fox News. Who thinks I got it right?

Something tasteful like flying onto an aircraft carrier with a banner that says "Mission Accomplished" would be more to the appeal of the broad masses of republicans.
