Faux news has done it again!
Today, on a Faux radio newscast, they reported on the Democrat response to Bush's Saturday address. They said the spokesperson was critical of the DEMOCRAT leadership for not coming out sooner with the news on Mark Foley.

Between identifying Foley as a "D" , this, and lord knows what else, this is not just a series of honest mistakes. The librul media are trying to make the percentage of people who don't know any better that this is a Democrat scandal.

5. Deliberate and misleading lies by a "professional anything" should
garner the perp a severe fine, perhaps jail time.

9. .
Yeah, from accusations that the Dems sat on the info for 3 years to making it a fact that they had the information and asking why they didn't act sooner.
Goob job, you really have to admire their desperate efforts if you are a fan of propaganda.

16. Excellent observation, but please . . .
It is "Democratic response" and "Democratic leadership" and "Democratic scandal". Democrat is not an adjective.

I hate to be pedantic, but the GOP is trying to change the language on this. The least we can do is resist it ourselves, even if no one else will.

24. I find myself using "Democrat" as an adjective myself--that seed got
planted while listening to Rush (not the band) for the occasional laugh. I've even done that while teaching class, then kicked myself.

19. Fortunately or unfortunately...
depending on one's POV, the only loyal audience FauxNews has are completely stupid people. Something tells me that completely stupid people aren't worth much to corporate advertisers.

22. And they really aren't worth our pursuing either.
Isn't O'Reilly one of their most popular shows? I saw that his ratings are less than 2 million.
Fox viewers appear to be the backwash of the backwash. I say leave them behind. :evilgrin:

23. And on top of that, their grammar is atrocious!
It would be the DEMOCRATIC leadership.

Faux... listen close: Democrat is a noun; Democratic is an adjective. In this instance, you'd want the adjective.

:silly:
