Incredible! Fox 'news' Labels Foley As Dem During O'reilly Factor!

If it really happened that's quite an embarrassment however since all talk of such incident online claims the same source......a blog....I'm inclined to not believe that this actually took place at all.

Did you actually take a look at the photo that is on the blog?

Oh really? Then why are Drudge, Limpdick, Hannity & Savage blaming the victims?

Why is Hastert turning in Seargant Shultz - " I know Nothing! I see Nothing!"

I don't know why are you feigning rightous indignation against Hastert but not demanding Pelosi's resignation? I mean she voted for a Studds chairmanship five times in five different congress's, when she knew for a fact that he had gotten a 17 year old page drunk and had sex with him, all Hastert knew was that Foley asked how the Page was doing after he had been caught in Katrina he also asked for a picture and when Hastert found out he told Foley to cut that crap out, but when the Democrats found out about Studds they gave him a standing ovation and a chairmanship.

Once more, the blatant lie. Once more, I post this from the same link as from my last post, which shows that the page in question was 16 years old at the time.

Foley, 52, had been a shoo-in for a new term until the e-mail correspondence surfaced in recent days. The page was 16 at the time of the correspondence.

I continue to post links from news sites, and Trajan continues to choose to keep parroting the lie which Drudge made up out of thin air, and which Republican freepers have been hitting the internet hard with.

I will continue to post the factual sources showing the page to be 16 years old at the time, and Trajan, along with others, will attempt to defend the indefensible, which IMHO, is absolutely reprehensible.

And Trajan, you say 17 now. You were claiming it was 18 in the other thread, but news sources (No - Drudge is not a news source, but a gossip and slander column) have been pretty consistent with the facts, and it is 16. Click the link below, and learn something.


The article from a NEWS site, and not the Drudge site, which is attempting to make criminals out of the victims, and which refers to the victims as "Beasts".


Once again, have you no shame?

Oh my God. At what point do people stop saying "Well, the other party does it too!" and start saying "You know what. My party screwed up this time and it's time they fessed up." How about actually looking for someone to do what's right rather then trying to make sure your "team" wins.


lol.

because while im "doing whats right" Dan Rather is over there lying through his teeth to try and ruin a presidents career.

Dan Rather just told you to stick your head in a bucket of manure. Are you going to do it? Sorry, but just had to get that in there. LOL.

Track back soldier slim I didn't even mention the drudge report in the previous statement.

Ah so you admit that Fox News is conservative biased.

Fair enough, I don't care that a news station is bias to the right. Its just that "Fair and Balanced" bs, its clearly nowhere near fair and balanced, just fair and balanced to ultra conservatives.

I have never once seen them leave out the other side of the issue entirely like I have with nearly every other major news source (always the conservative side that's left out).

The studies I've sen always show FOX as being closer to the American public on the issues than any other news source.

And when you watch debates on FOX, you get to see a conservative debate a liberal, rather than a far leftist debate a moderate leftist, as on every other network.

And this business about the graphic error is completely absurd-especially being that FOX has repeatedly discussed this as a Republican scandal before and after that trivial gliche.

damn right.

Im not ashamed of the fact.

I wont look for liberals to admit the same about their beloved news outlets though.

I must say though, aqua is correct......AT LEAST FOX allows the other side a VOICE......not sure the same can be said about the MULTIPLE far left outlets.

I have once Fox News a few times on sattelite, it is sooo biased its laughable. I haven't watched CNN, CBS etc, so I don't know if they are liberal bias, but I supsect they are. It seems every media outlet in the US favours one leaning to the other.

Yeah they have both sides of the argument, except that they pick meek and unimpressive liberals that usually get shouted down by bullish conservatives like Hannity or O'Reilly, it is hardly an equal and fair fight.

Hannity and Colmes "?? many days until Bush is re-elected" just shouts unbias news casting :roll: . People say its biased because its editorial. But how many liberal editorals are there in Fox. Colmes? Bill Gates could beat him up, very unimpressive.
 
I fail to see why anything Faux News does matters at all. For one, only a small group of morons watch it regularly and think it's a 'news channel', and they watch it precisely because it is biased, so it doesn't matter what they do, they're preaching to a small choir and there is no way they're going to care whether Mark Foley was a Dem or not and it wouldn't change their few votes. In fact none of the talking head BS'ers on any network mean that much, as nobody in their right minds watches all that crap more than a few minutes a week, just political junkies who like to think it matters much more than it does, just because they watch that garbage.

Yea, you nailed it dead on. Hannity is portrayed as a man's man, and then there is this squirrely little wimp named Colmes, who always ends up agreeing with Hannity in the end. Wrestlemania couldnt have scripted it any better. :rofl
 
If Fox News represents "main stream america" then god help us all.

I some how doubt that main stream america are all right wing anti abortionists religious who make stuff up or twist facts to further thier cause, but are in fact very normal people with normal problems and views, views that can change depending on the information give to them by among others Fox News and the rest of the media.

I dont mind having a "conservative" media outlet, but when that media outlet calls it self "fair and balanced" when it clearly is not, then I got a problem with that. Would you accept a product promoting itself as safe for all, when using this product makes you sick or kills you?

As for

And when you watch debates on FOX, you get to see a conservative debate a liberal, rather than a far leftist debate a moderate leftist, as on every other network.

this is simply not true. I tend to watch the weekend news debate programs form the US (Meet the press and so on) and sometimes the "left" are in a minority but mostly its evenly divided. On Fox its almost in some way or another a right wing hatchet job going on a "lefty" if it is a "lefty" they have put in the opposition camp and not a moderate righty. I also belive studies on this issue show the above trend. Of course because you most likely are a hard right winger, then anyone not supporting your views has to be a "leftie" (which is basicly 95% of people) and hence I understand how you got this impression, even though its not correct.

A perfect example of the mentality that seems to be all too prevalent within Debate Politic's Republicans (not all, but many).

Funny how Republicans try to pass themselves off as more ethical and morally correct and then post bullshit like this that condones and craves amoral behavior.

There isn't a more perfect example of Republican Hackism than ProudAmerican's post! Thanks for exposing yourself...hey, isn't that what Foley did too? :rofl

Believe me Fox News doesn't represent mainstream America anymore than George Bush does...what's his poll ratings today?

Bush approval is again below 40%....doing a great job, isn't he?
