Faux Showing commerical of Seniors saying don't cut SS or
Medicare. At first I couldn't understand why Faux would be airing a commerical like this. Now I get it. Make their viewers think that it is Obama and the Democrats throwing Granny to the wolves.

My husband has been home after surgery so I have been subjected to hours of this fake news programming. Well, the upside I suppose it that I am now fully aware of their motives and methods.

we know the pukes will spin it, now Obama has to explain why he put cuts on the table. Fucking dumb(that's if that was the plan).

3. Faux will run any ad that you are willing to pay for.
I would imagine the org is running it there to get some republican senior citizens to call their R representative and lean on them to leave medicare alone. They know who votes.

5. I've been seeing one that just says "Senator" naming
no one in particular. I think it's an AARP ad, can't read the print at the end saying who sponsors it since it's in white print.
