Fox Never Fails

Share article:

So in the first ten minutes of last night’s Daily Show, Jon Stewart spent about nine minutes skewering both O’Reilly and Bush. In the last minute, he hit Kerry. (All described in a previous item here.)

At the end of every Special Report with Brit Hume on Fox, they show some cute piece of tape from somewhere or another. Today they just showed a clip from last night’s Daily Show. Any idea which clip they decided to use?

That would be correct.

    I didn’t see it, although I like Brit Hume. The name "Brit" and his droopy face remind me of…yup…a British guy.

    Anyways,

    Was it Stewart skewering Bush to show that Fox wants to make it look like people attack Bush?

    Or was it because Fox is a tool of Bush, so they showed it attacking Kerry to keep the audience happy.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Fox has to be doing something right if they have more combined viewership than the rest. Although someone on my blog made a point that Fox is the only one with any conservative leanings, and the rest are therefore fighting for the more liberal viewers.

    As always Brad, thanks for having me 🙂

    Thanks for being had, Troll 😉

    Anyway, Fox is doing something right. For one, they are not boring. Then again, the colleseum was also very crowded when Christians were being thrown to lions, and most folks watch autoracing in the hopes of a fiery crash.

    So if you go by the standard that they are the most watched for a reason, then you’d also have to agree that Porn Films are the best movies.

    Aside from that, Troll, you can read COUNTLESS items on this blog of the hard leaning to the RIGHT by CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, CBS, ABC etc. We’ll have to agree to disagree that those outlets are "liberal" at least until you’ve gotten a chance to follow along here with more frequency. Then, we can happily have it out 🙂

    P.S. Do a search here for "Hannity" to take a look at just one of the ways that Fox is not "conservative" they are simply LIARS and Republicans (both a far cry from conservativism).

    Brad,

    Have you got your hands on the LONG list of rules for tonight’s debate?

    Among them (and I’m going from memory)
    * No camera shots from behind
    * No camera shots of a participant if he is not speaking
    * No walking into the other guys space (ala Gore in 2000)

    Its interesting to note that REPUBLICANS claim its so the Democrats won’t try any "dirty tricks".

    (of course I was watching the Q13 Fox Morning News Seattle when I saw this…)

    Yeah, some others had asked about that official list, and it came out while we were down, so I didn’t get the chance to actually hunt it down.

    Let’s move this discussion over to the OPEN DEBATE THREAD though, as others who stop by there may have the links to it.

    (And yes, the Right are brilliant at the spin…For e.g. the "no camera shots of the other guy while one is talking" was made at request of the Bush team due to the famous Bush Sr. looking at his watch incident — so claims someone from the Debate Comm. anyway…More over on the other thread.)
