Bored so I've been cooking and listening to Fox news...wow the level of brainwashing and

42. I watched for about an hour last week... What I learned:

(Yes, I took notes)

On Hannity:

All Iranians want us dead. They burn our flag (well, not exactly, the ones I saw had white stripes at the top & bottom, and 56 stars) and Obama is giving them the bomb.

The current Democratic Party is much more leftist than it used to be Left-wing policy: If you dislike America, you're probably ok "as crazy as that sounds." (Americans who dislike American hegemony are equated to Americans disliking America itself).

"Thou shalt not kill" is NOT the first commandment, it's really "Thou shalt not murder." This must be their excuse for the constant wars. I guess we're not murdering anyone?

"Hands up, don't shoot" was a lie, because Fox found a black person willing to say so on its station. Whenever they do any racist segments, they apparently make sure to have a black person who agrees with them - implicitly saying, "We're not being racist here." By the way, it's ok to call black people thugs since a black person was doing so on Fox. (They probably wish he'd gone further and used the N-word)

On O'Reilly:

The Obama administration's approach to Iran is based on "Willful ignorance" - same quote being used again and again by a former staffer (if it's from a former staffer, it must be true... Hmm, wonder why they no longer work for him, they couldn't have an axe to grind could they? If this were the other way around, Fox would immediately dismiss the person as being "disgruntled.&quot

If the NYT editorial board says something, it's what "the left" believes.

Re trading Bergdahl for 5 Taliban fighters: "You can't put troops in harm's way on a theoretical." Of course it wasn't a theoretical that Saddam Hussein might gain control of nuclear weapons and use them against America... It's not theoretical that the released Taliban fighters will return to the battlefield and kill more Americans either, obviously that's just fact.

I agree, the level of sophistication is incredible, particularly on Hannity - O'Reilly is more of a blowhard.
