I agree, this week was particularly idiotic, especially if you include last weekend's march by tea-party enthusiasts.

Addendums (?):

ACORN
-- FOX News CONTINUALLY claiming how GREAT THEY ARE for "breaking" the story;
that ALL other MSM fail in comparison to THEIR GREATNESS. I say "Congrats FOX; but get
over yourselves already". Huffington Post, and even The National Enquirer have broken
stories this past year; and I don't see them continually patting themselves on the back.

Be realistic, please. You've got a ton of resources at you disposal to "truly report"
on almost anything. Why not do such reporting all the time instead of spending time
making up stories..!

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
"NOW" seeking to pass legislation outlawing them because their previous FEAR TACTIC
did NOT work (...that they will KILL you)..?

Don't you wonder who sent the phony pimp & prostitute with the hidden camera into the meeting with the ACORN rep? Don't you wonder what happened to the phonies who did have the police called on them? ( I do not believe this was reported on FOX)

Since Rove was hired by FOX it seems that that organization has become more adversarial--if possible--towards Democrats. Remember that Roger Ailes was known as a particularly vitriolic RNC chairman during his stint at the post. Rove was well documented as a trickster during his work for Republican clients. Does FOX have an agenda to overthrow the elected party now in power? This seems like sedition to me.

Good points..!

-- All I know of the phony pimp and prostitute is that they are described as "Conservative Advocates".

-- Rove (aka "Bush's Brain") DOES have a history of political trickery. He now works as a "FOX Analyst".

-- Ailes? A direct quote from Roger Ailes, the network's chief executive, that clearly STATES FOX News' bias...

"The country faced tough times...and FOX News was one of the only news outlets WILLING TO CHALLENGE the new administration."

IMO, it is a News station's job to REPORT the NEWS...period...! It is NOT their job to make CHALLENGES to any Administration (-OR- be "kiss-ups" to any Administration).

Lack of Birth Control is killing the planet.

Right wing protesters will do and say anything to dictate to women.
