Thanks! I saw this on ThinkProgress yesterday but the video wasn't up at YouTube yet.

I'm guessing there isn't going to be any Dan Rather-esque retraction from the Faux News people.

They got the slander out; they've done their job.

Textbook GOP.

I can't believe that Insight Mag wasn't able to gin up a fellow student at Swift Boat Madrassa in Indonesia who is now an Al Qaeda member.

Sadly, for the cable news maw the smear itself is all that matters. The rest is anchorbot salivating over the candidate/blogosphere/flack reaction to the smear rather than doing the hard business of covering issues of substance with a critical eye.

If Fox was simply reporting on claims made by Insight magazine--which is not owned by Murdoch--why are they being blamed here as the architects of some sort of conspiracy?

Possible answer: Slow day at the Commie News Network.


Obama is an eloquent clone of Ted Kennedy, per his voting record. That's enough to discourage anyone who doesn't want more big government socialism, which sadly is what Bush has been about as well.

QM, No.. Insight Magazine is owned by Washington (Moonie) Times. Rev. Crazy-ass Moon is a media mogul, just like Rupert Murdoch.

Fact is that any reasonable "news" outlet has two sources, or at least does 5 minutes of googling and/or research to confirm the BREAKING STORY. But what Faux News does is report any crazy crap and have fifteen minute speculation tirades (how is this news?) on completely fictional made-up crap. Do they call Obama campaign? Do they call Insight? Do they try to find out anything about the school / terrist training center? Do they read one of his two books? No, of course, you are right, it is the CommieNews folks fault. Clearly.

When FoxNews has two of its programs covering FauxNews(tm) of some made up smear campaign... and no other network is talking about said Earth-shattering journalistic breaking story.. That tells me Murdoch planned his ooops-how-could-we-know smear. And to say Moonie Times and Murdoch are not lock-step with der fuehrer is just as stupid as your assessment of Bush.

Yeah, all that money you could have spent on schools, free healthcare for everyone(like we have here in Norway), alternative energy.. spend it all on WAR to get the last of the oil! That way all your low taxes goes right into the hands of corporate america! this keep the economy going! That means every dead child died for a noble cause!

Obama must be doing something right to be getting slandered this early into a presidential election. Haha

I vote republican and Im suprised that a democrat seems to be the better choice coming up.

Mgshadow, don't worry, the Dems won't allow an actual good candidate to make it to any ballots. I guarantee you won't see any Deans or Obamas ever.. just more Kerry, Clintons, and Gores.

"Faux News"

That's my meme of the month, for sure. A grand example of truthiness. Thanks theo47.

maudlin: Kudos and respect to you for nailing the true story back on the "...This-Is-Huge" page before this response vid was even circulating.

This is surprising how? The worst thing about it is that it takes a GOP slant before anyone notices. CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC have been doing the same in the opposite direction for years. None of it is right, and should be a reminder to all to not take the media too seriously no matter which side of the fence you're on. Do your research. Check your candidates voting record, review public speeches, make informed decisions, and plenty of run-on sentences.

Edit it and change the embedded video. The vid at the top is still dead.

Also, there may be a difference beteween "dead" (before 7 days) and "discarded" (after 7 days) at which point maybe it can't be brought back.

Ok, the original is gone, but let's just say everything in the FOX clip above is a lie, and you can google it to find out.

If fuxnews had their way, they'd broadcast Obama being 'stoned', as is all too often condoned in the bible.. or strung up on a burning cross, in the true tradition for their 'oh so good and Christian' roots.

Yeah, love and respect your neighbor. *cough*. Christian neighbor that is.

Repent or Die! US fundamentalism at its best.

Sure. Newsweek, CBS, etc... are all very even-handed, not liberal in the least.

Finally, the voice of reason, on a threaded circle-jerk.....yes Johndoe.....yes we are!

How a bout a simple deconstruction:

1. Vid is posted, like a hatchet thrown at a practice-stump well-worn, of some bullshit concerning some media outlet, and some candidate for some office.

2. Up pop, the usual suspects, the supporters of dead-horse kicking, the party-line, this-ism, VS. that-ism, as meaningless a regurgitent as a Mc. Donald's jingle is to a musk ox.

3.The respondent who can't help but wag his finger in insult, or shake his head in "faux" pity, at the contributors most-likely to resemble the schoolyard bully's flavor-of-the-weak. (For the sake of being accused of ad-hom, let's call him Smugly Putforth.)

4.and finally, as the votes come flying in, from an anonymous peanut gallery of teens, queens, and lurking dweebs, because, to shout foul to a brick-wall, is much more stylish an activity than producing any real meaning or solutions rather than to play this game they have created for the monkey house, a lone voice pops in to remind most of the contributors, how fucking sophomoric and ineffectual they all are, or are becoming.

and more run-on sentences.....

Media outlets have a responsibility to do research to verify stories before parroting them.
