You must have missed the CNN fact check of the SNL Obama skit.

Funny how lefties can scream and cry "Fox News!111!!111!! It is the GOP propaganda network11!!!!!!1!" but when someone points out the left-leaning tendencies of CNN, whining ensues. You won't hear me deny that Fox is right leaning, but be a little honest here -- CNN is definitely left leaning and favorable to Obama.

About time they stopped bending over and taking it like little bitches and fought back.

What's next?
Get them the fuck off the airwaves.
Same goes for Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin and the rest of the America haters.

Hopefully Obama.
He simply can call them what they really are "enemy combatants".

Ah, so then you're advocating that the government shut down media outlets with opposing views?
There you have it folks, quoted for posterity. Dave wants the government to shut down media with opposing viewpoints -- isn't that what Chavez did as well? Why do you hate America Dave?

Calling Fox et al opposing views is a joke and you know. More like Treasonous.

You don't even know what the word means, you buffoon. I'm sure Chavez said that as well about the dissenting media in Venezuela. Why don't you move there and see how you like it?

Orwell would have been appalled. Fox News isn't even trying to hide its extreme partisanship. What major network has ever promoted (daily, hourly) a full scale march on Washington bashing a current sitting president? It's never happened in America before. And once they got to that march, they were actively encouraging the audience to yell and cheer even more.
Fox News promotes extreme views as "normal" reactions to "current events." And they use well paid millionaires to promote policies that undermine the economic power of the middle & lower class and prey on their fears of "the Other". These rubs are being played by FOX. They don't care that you lost your job or your health insurance, or that your local schools need more money. It's all a game to them, all about power and money, and they are laughing at you all the way to the bank.
Murdoch is really the P.T. Barnum of print and television news. Look what he owns - FOX, the Sun, the NY Post. All Murdoch wants to do is make money. He doesn't have an agenda beyond this. He's found a pot of gold with FOX News. Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly - it's all an act. They have a heavy team of lawyers adviseing them how far they can go with their discourse. I'm waiting for Fox to incorporate that new Obama "monkey doll" into their logo.
Multiple people live in the environment of Fox News where delusional commentary is standard. Here are the next steps I expect from Fox News and their defenders.
1) Play the victim card, "They hate us because we are successful."
2) the "liberals want us to be 'politically correct' all the time!" game
3) the "can't you take a joke?" card
4) the "don't you like free speech?" card
5) the "if he can't stand up to a little ribbing then how can he be the president?" card
Rinse, repeat.
While this kind of infotainment TV and Radio is profitable they will keep doing what they are doing.

Nope...the problem is a White House that can't elevate itself above the political fray. Already used to it.
