This time, it's on their show "The Beltway Boys." Have these boys ever actually been in the Beltway? Perhaps if they had, they'd know that Senator Chafee is a Republican.

FOX?! Facts?! HAH! [Report this comment] Posted by: monkeywrench on Oct 10, 2006 8:58 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] What?! You expect the clowns at FOX to check their facts?! That would take precious time away from "creative journalism" – a.k.a., lying. What is even more pathetic than the noxious expectorations of FOX commentators, is that there are far too many people who believe their bilge, even when confronted with overwhelming truth to the contrary. How can we expect to maintain a democracy with such a dumb population? (Which may also explain the motive behind the Bush administration's aversion to science.)

[Report this comment] Posted by: helenwheels on Oct 10, 2006 9:00 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] How desperate must they be to keep doing this? Dems oughta sue. Why can they get fined for swear words or racy content, but not this? Basically, there is no excuse for this. It's either on purpose, which is pretty devious, or it's a result of incompetence. Both make FauxNews look even worse than they already are, if that's at all possible.

Which is about as likely as Hitler turning Jewish. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] It's a bit pathetic... [Report this comment] Posted by: People in the Sun on Oct 10, 2006 10:44 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] You think, with everything going against the Republicans, what genius plan will they have to get voters back, and then they come up with that? I'm no Carl Rove but for their sake I hope they have at least a war or two (or a bin Laden tape) planned before the elections.

That is just wrong on so many levels. If I was a Repub and watched FOX, I would be offended that they would think I'm that stupid...wait...their viewers ARE that stupid. Nevermind.

The Washington bureau of the Baltimore Sun issued a list of politicians running for office on a national level and stating and identifying ones who are in trouble. In Maryland, Michael Steele a Rep. is running against Ben Cardin, Dem. Cardin is leading by a considerable margin. Steele is identified as a Democrat. At present he is the Lt. Gov. of Maryland under Earlich, another Rep. The Sun is a liberal leaning paper (ask O'Reilly) so I don't think it was intentional. By the same token I did not see a correction posted. Go Figure.
