Fox mistakenly airs banned attack on Obama

[RamboLiberal]

Fox News mistakenly aired most of a new attack ad on Barack Obama after telling The New York Times that they wouldn't run it due to questions about the ad's legality.

In a segment with Shepard Smith and Molly Henneberg, Fox News apparently meant to use an attack ad from the McCain campaign which claims there is a connection between Obama and "convicted felon" Tony Resko.

What the news network used instead was an ad which emphasizes Obama's ties to a 1960s radical named Bill Ayers and connects him to the 9/11 attacks.

The ad was created by a new conservative group called American Issues Project that was co-founded by a former campaign aide to John McCain.

Yep, just like you mistakenly call him or your screen graphics identify him so often as Osama.

8. My MIL said, "I watch Fox News. They are fair and balanced." I shot a look at my husband that said

"get-me-the-hell-outta-here-before-I-say-something-ugly-to-your-momma! OMG! The SAD thing is that she was serious! And she's a DEMOCRAT! Go figure.

10. Was she by any chance a Hillary supporter?

Just asking cause it sure seemed like Hillary and her campaign minions sure loved Fox during the primary

11. No way. Said McCain is too old. She is from a generation that doesn't question anything. n/t
