Why the MSM needs Fox News

[rhett o rick]

Where as CBS and CNN havent quite gotten to the point of blatantly lying, nothing stops them from quoting the lies from Faux News.

A friend told me she heard that there were 1.5 to 2 million teabag protesters in Washington DC. When I asked where she heard that, she responded on CNN. When I investigated further, apparently CNN was quoting what Faux News was reporting. It is ok to quote a lie from someone else and the impact is almost the same. "I heard it on CNN".

1. FAUX also serves as a red herring of sorts...

... leading people to believe that the other M$M outlets are being straight with them - NOT

6. Not really. Faux has twice the viewers of CNN and MSNBC combined!

7. Fox has less viewers than any of the networks.....

and they play the game too!

If you don't think so, you haven't been paying attention.

Fox is their foil....cause in fox looking like the liars that they are,
somehow the other liars seem less so.

But, in the end, a lie is a lie is a lie.

8. my point, obviously badly made, was that the other networks come to the defense of Faux

because they need Faux. So Faux can do the lying and they then can repeat the lie but say that Faux said it. To the gullibles the damage is done.
