Faux "Big Story".. outrageous bias.
Did anyone else see this? They have some cutesy bimbette replacing the regular idiot. She has that smarmy Terry holt and some woman from Kerry's campaign on.

The bimbette interrupts the Kerry woman repeatedly, all but calling her a liar and allows Holt to just drone on with his lies.

Kerry should never allow anyone but the most aggressive spokespeople to appear on Faux. The woman they had on today was way too nice.

1. Don't worry

I would suggest the only people who watch faux news are Republican Sheeple or Liberals keeping tabs on the enemies talking points. CNN may well be doing more damage as it may draw in more moderate voters.

4. But
It just feeds their hatred and misinforms them more, a la Rush Limbaugh. In that sense it still does damage.

Also, I think there are plenty of people who don't even realize that Fox is a tool for the right, or maybe just don't realize the extent to which that is true. I know people who watch it just because "they make the news more interesting" - basically by having loudmouths like Hannity and O'Reilly screaming at people all day.

3. not necessarily Kerry's choice
As I learned from the Outfoxed video this past weekend, Fox has its own list of commentators, and they are very careful to only choose weak, unknown Dem people. The Kerry folks couldn't get anyone serious on there no matter how hard they tried.
