And the winner is.....Roger Ailes, promoting Fox Business Network with reviews edited to reverse the meaning. Runners up: RedState.com (reviewing Olbermann's anchoring post-debate coverage when he wasn't on the air) and Glenn Beck ("the trolley is off the track").

1. good heavens!

these were GREAT! All 3 were truly the worst person in the world that day! how embarrassing each of them was - thanks for loading this - regular cable doesn't carry msnbc in my area (comcast), besides being ignored, any idea how I can force them to show it?? lol

2. I don't know why

Comcast switched MSNBC from regular to digital cable. I work for them and I think it may be the people who watch MSNBC are more likely to subscribe to digital and/or HD cable than those who watch CNN or (ack!) Fox.

5. ROFL! "Now please change it back."

That was an enormous insult to the show, and they tried to make it look like a compliment.

"We report, you decide." Yeah, well, I've decided that you're a bunch of fucking liars.

6. You wanna know something amazing re that story??

..I used to read MAD magazine back in the 60s when the biting political satire was mixed thoroughly with the low-brow ethnic (Jewish) humor. Well, one of the vignettes they did was how media outlets would take a crappy movie review and cherry-pick the phrases so it meant the opposite. Such as: The reviewer would write: "The lead actor was so lame if it were physically possible I'd've delivered a knockout punch through the screen just to put us out of our misery."

After cherry-picking, the review read: "Lead actor...delivered a knockout punch..."

Well, you get the pic.

As I watched Keith last night and heard that Roger Ailes had stolen his strategy from an old MAD satire, it totally hit me that we're really living in Bizzaro World. Or rather, to quote Oscar Wilde, must be another case of Life Imitating Art.

7. So true, pink-o -- thanks for noting that precedent to these...

as you say, Bizarro times.

14. Another edited quote about Foxed Business Network

Edited quote: "FOX Business Network is... a gas!"

Actual quote: "Whoever came up with the idea of a FOX Business Network is a Nazi who should be thrown into a gas chamber!"

8. No surprise

No surprise about the contenders. What always surprises me is that these people can walk around in daylight.
