Another clear sign FauxNews is not about news, but an agenda...
Last night/early this morning, I was doing a quick check of the cable news and saw on MSNBC where Ted Kennedy had passed away. I then switched over to CNN and saw both channels were doing "Breaking News" stories. Then over to FauxNews and guess what? Yep, those fuckers couldn't even do a cut in on a Glenn Beck repeat and waited until the top of the hour.


Just another sign that FauxNews is all about an agenda.

1. If you remember the origins of FOX TV...
They were not going to spend money on news gathering. They would be mostly about opinions and entertainment. They have never been serious about "news". They have changed very little over the years. It is about an agenda. They think they are the "other" opinion. They assume that the other side has the opposite agenda.

3. In that case they should be forced to remove the word News from
any logo, documents or anyplace it shows in conjunction with FAUX.

Truth in advertising.

2. "Ted WHO?"
"And in other news, some guy named Ted died of brain cancer. Wait - there's a report of a missing white girl from Georgia! We'll be right back with 24x7 LIVE coverage from Aruba."
