Faux news calls it "A Cleanup Operation" (update for Outfoxed)
I don't know if this has been flagged yet but did anyone catch Faux News Corporation's reference to the fighting in Najaf as a "Cleanup Operation" this morning. On their morning talk show schmooze the idiot bobble-heads and the flashing news crawl at the bottom of the screen were all calling what real news networks describe as fierce fighting a cleanup operation. Now having just seen Outfoxed last weekend, I could only laugh out loud as they went to their "reporter" in Iraq who obviously didn't get the e-mail from the RNC director this morning and he called it fierce fighting.

The idiots can't even get their own propaganda straight!

1. "Some people say" it's a clean-up operation. LOL!
In "Outfoxed" I loved how they exposed the journalistically evil way that the Fox News talking-heads say whatever lie they want to--by prefacing it with "Some people say . . . "

No reference whatsoever to a source, whether a person or in print, at all. Just inserting rumors and lies into "news" TV.

I see this on Fox News and now CNN (esp. Wolf Blitzer) and sometimes MSNBC.

Evil bastards.
