It was the "little yellow bus" line, I know it was. Though I admit it could be the "dipstick sleeve" comment too. Mea culpa mea cupla.

You can't be shown, because the other networks don't do it "accidentally".

Dan Rather was removed because he started fabricating his own news.

Mathews & Olberman were just removed for "really ****ty raitings", translation:

No one with any intelligence was tuning in to listen to their left wing bull****.

Re: FOX News haven for conspiracy theory nuts?

Ed Rendell has spoken rather favorably of Fox News's coverage of the campaign in terms of balance of reporting. Is he in on the right wing conspiracy?

Particularly given the meltdown over at MSNBC, I find this constant haranguing about Fox News entirely, utterly, and completely laughable. HIGH-larious.

Firstly, he didn't fabricate news, he failed to Fact check, something Faux rarely if ever does.
Secondly, he got fired because of it. Who's fired at faux for their constant "accidents", Hannity seems to get a raise each time of his "blirps".

Re: FOX News haven for conspiracy theory nuts?

Rather was the anchor of the flagship news show for CBS news, presenting a straight news story.

Hannity (though I can't stand the @ss) hosts an opinion show.

Britt Hume is not Sean Hannity, despite claims otherwise.

Speeches that aired in the "Hannity & Colmes" hour were "pitched" back to Hume for the actual commentary as each evening's key-note speakers entered for both conventions.

Fabricate, forgery, what's the difference when you're lying and you get fired over it.

numerous critics questioned the authenticity of the documents upon which the report was based and the documents were quickly proved to be forgeries

Of course they are, just ask them. That's why so many people are tuning them out, instead of tuning them in.

Sadly parent NBC just had to scold it's oh so professional and unbiased employees Oblerman and Matthews. As well as take away their hosting gigs for the remainder of the election coverage, because they could not keep their personal bias from spilling into their on air comments amid all the highly respectable bickering amongst each other.


Number of news anchors from supposedly “unbiased & professional” news organizations, who have been relieved due to “bias” affecting their coverage? 3

Number of news anchors from Fox News who have been relieved due to “bias” affecting their coverage? 0

Says the person who just posted a poorly fact checked and utterly biased screed. While claiming it is “faux news” that does this. Oh yes, speaking of notable factors……..it is intelligence not “intelligenge”.
