Reading the tea leaves on todays RW talkers...
I've been listening to the AM talkers for a while. I get a perverse pleasure hearing them whine & moan-which they do a lot. I also can figure out what issues / stories are being "pushed". It happens all the time . The drumbeat is brought to a fever pitch & the rest of the media howl like the pavlovian lapdogs they are. As we all know real journalists are a rare bunch & thankfully we have a few left.

But today was all defensive & frankly-a bit more than telling. They got hurt by this blow back. Hurt bad & where it counts.

The credibility issue has finally come to frontal lobes of Fox viewers!!!!

Aghast they are gnawing their own leg from the trap they set. Limpballs is howling that Fox can't be held accountable-They Are Not a News Organization!. What a revelation for the masses.

Frankly-I do believe this cloud has a silver lining.

I just hope the WH has the sense to take advantage of such an obvious admission.

1. They should cease to call themselves Fox "News" then.

3. Then there is the whole "Fair & Balanced " thing
But that never held any water-

Anyone watching one the pannel vision shows should be able to see they stack 3-5 screeching idealogue Republicans Vs. one weak knee Democrat. Yep-they don't even want the chance a real discussion could break out.

2. In deference to our side....
It is much easier to believe a convenient lie than to embrace an inconvenient truth.

4. LOL. "Fox is not a news organization"
Then what exactly, does "we report, you decide" mean?

5. I do the same thing with Joey the Scar in the a.m. I can tell if he has
a scowl on his face things are not good, when Uncle Pat is sort of quiet and Barnacle bloviates. Sets the tone for the day. I'm with you, this cloud will have a huge silver lining. They are not happy today...

12. Fox news viewers have frontal lobes?
Who knew!!!!!!!!!

Actually, they all act as though they already have had frontal lobotomies. As the old song goes - I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than have a frontal lobotomy.

16. Thanks for doing the hard job of listening to their rants...
I can't stand it. It raises my BP and makes me angry and depressed literally. But some of us need to do the hard job of following these fools. So that ALL of us know what is going down on any given day.

THANKS!
