ROTFLMAO Fox ‘News’ Quote of the Moment

Share article:

Guest blogged by DES

Apparently the right-wing mouthpiece Fox “News” Channel is a little freaked out over getting fired as hosts of a Democratic presidential debate in Nevada. FNC management has responded to the drubbing by putting out a thinly-veiled threat to other Democratic presidential candidates and their media coordinators to keep Fox “News” on speed-dial (with Roger Ailes’s newest bitch-slap here). My, my, such a hissy fit just because they finally got called on the carpet for being the Republican Fox in the henhouse.

As they continue to wring their hands and stamp their feet over such shoddy treatment, Mort Kondracke let drop this amusing little bit of cluelessness:

If Fox was embarrassingly right wing or something like that, it would be plain for all to see.”

See the full clip here at Think Progress. Hat tip to John Aravosis at Americablog.com for pointing out this little gem.

Additional thought from Brad: Dear Fox ‘News’ Whining Cry-Baby Sore-Losers: You lost. Move on. Get over it.

    Thankfully the dems realize that faux “news” is the institutionalization of delusion.

    They celebrate delusion, drink delusion, dance to delusion, talk delusion, and express further delusion by asking “why don’t rational people want to delude along with us?”

    faux lock stock and barrel …

    This is huge. FOX News cannot be viewed officially as “news”, if one of the 2 major parties cancel a debate hosted by FOX “News”. The Dems should’ve done this a long time ago. Olberman was playing a clip of Skiles and the FOX “News” smearing Obama.

    On another front, Hannity today said that Chuck Hagel was not a Republican. Why is this news? It’s what I’ve been saying all along: REPUBLICANS ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES! SEAN HANNITY JUST ADMITTED IT TODAY!!! …by saying Chuck Hagel is not a Republican. He is saying, in other words, “Conservatives are NOT Republicans, and should not be in ‘OUR’ party.” So there, conservatives…now you know your party has been taken over by corporate fascist non-conservatives. No room for Ron Paul and Chuck Hagel. Less than 5% of Republicans are conservatives. 95% of them are corporate fascists: Frist, DeLay, Abramoff, Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, AEI, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld…NOT CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CPAC is NOT a conservative convention!!! It is a celebration of the corporate fascists that took over the Republican Party. CPAC, the GOP, Limbaugh, Hannity, FOX News…NOT CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!

    Where does Mort Kondrake live? In some kind of hall of mirrors where he can see only himself and other corporate, right-wing clones and reflections?

    I’m surprised he even used the term “embarrassingly right wing”. If he had a clue, he’d probably use something from the playbook, something meaner, more media-saavy, some term they’d like to add to the mix. The dolt may really believe it.

    If this becomes a trend for all the debates, Fox stands to lose a HUGE amount of money!

    Ohhh, Mr. Bill, Ohhhhh Nooooo…

    How do you say Cha-ching backwards!

    Fox “news” has been officially spanked on the bottom.

    Why would Fox news chairmen Roger Ailes be afraid of of John Edwards saying “see I’m in a fight with Fox News”? That statement alone amounts to a confession that Fox News is nothing more than a right wing mouthpiece!!

    Midiwiz #11 — Here’s another recent confession, this time from Rupert Murdoch himself, about how Fox purposely worked to “influence” the Iraq War, saying:

    Asked if his News Corp. managed to shape the agenda on the war in Iraq, Murdoch said: “No, I don’t think so. We tried.” Asked by Rose for further comment, he said: “We basically supported the Bush policy in the Middle East”¦but we have been very critical of his execution.”
