The Fox News Ethos Summarized In Thirty Seconds

[Via Gawker/Sullivan] Back in 2004, filmmaker Robert Greenwald released a documentary called Outfoxed, which spent seventy-five minutes diving deeply into the arcane workings of the Fox News Channel, painstakingly building the case that the cable news outlet's presentations of "fair and balanced" news was underpinned by a demonstrable and pervasive conservative bias. What a difference four years makes! Watch this clip, in which everything a nation of Fox skeptics have claimed becomes readily apparent in under thirty seconds.

Excuse me has anyone seen that old couple at the back? Its like as if the wife is ashamed to to be associated with McCain...s­he puts Grandpa's hand down...bwa­hahahahaha­aaa...so funny. I don't even care about this joker journalist's assessment.

My favorite part was when everybody in the place laughed at the talking head when he said the vote was split.

[whit4brains]

Let's hope it is this "split" on Nov. 4th!

FOX is such a joke!

[drewtom]

Let me ask it a different way, who is voting McCain? anybody, anybody? OK, who is not voting for Obama? anybody Bueller?

I AM EMBARRASSED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED A COMMENT HERE!

If you can make fun of a blind reporter, is there nothing you won't ridicule? Where is your shame?

[Matt7]

I'm sorry! I didn't know he was blind. I just thought he went to school on the short bus, and missed math class.

[obamanation31]

I think he's got his neo-con glasses on.

[obama4eva]

[jazzdrummerb]

Wow

[Indie2008]

After the clip ended and they wend back to FOX and Friends, Doocy decided to spin the Obama count even further by pointing out that Joe Biden was a favorite in that town.

[Matt7]

Did you check out the "old dude" in the background who raised his hand for McCain, until mama slapped it down? Then to make up for his error, she raised both hands, and papa came around, too!
It was soo funny!

Most on-air folks don't ask a question unless they're sure of the answer. I guess this is pretty telling, because he obviously thought he WAS sure.

Times, they are a'changin'. Thank you GOD! (and these Pennsylvania folks, too!) ;-)

[PandaBear]

I just went back and re-watched the video to see the old guy getting his are slapped down and the woman raising 2 arms. Too funny! LOL I love it!

[Lette411]

This is about the funniest thing I have seen in weeks! "Yep, it's a split". He is obviously not good @ math. He should go back and watch the Count from Sesame Street.. Ah One and ah two!

[theone718]

Hold on hold on, not only did NOONE raise their hand for McCain, the ONLY person who "might have", the old man got his hand SMACKED down by his wife. UNBELIEVABLE.
