Palin Prefers The Smell of Motor Cycle Emissions In The Morning

In another blatant and apparent attempt to pander to the motor-cycle community, Sarah Palin opened her mouth and her foot jumped in. Asked by a FOX reporter if all her stops along her bus tour will be as rowdy as the motor-cycle event Palin crashed, the Alaskan governor quitter answered that she loves the smell of “emissions.”

“Ohhh, it would be a BLAST if they were this loudy, and if they smelled this good. I love that smell of the emissions!”

I love motor-cycles, but quite frankly, I prefer the smell of a nice, freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning. I can’t help but wonder how the Tea Party  feels knowing that Sarah’s preferred smell in the morning is motor-cycle emissions… and not tea. And wondering even more, is Mrs. Palin going to be strapped to the back of her bus for the great smell?

Or maybe, just maybe she will have a hose strapped to her tour bus’ exhaust pipe to bring that wonderful smell directly into the bus. Can we ask that all the windows stay shut? Would that be asking too much?

Fox News Network – The Latest Sponsor To Drop Glenn Beck

The announcement came yesterday and Americans breathed a collective sigh of relief. Glenn Beck, will no longer be allowed to propagate the airways with his lies and mis-information. Well, at least not on FOX. The network announced that Beck was leaving at the end of the year.

Of course, the news left many liberals and progressives speechless. Glenn Beck was on a nightly mission to prove that all that went wrong with the world was because of progressives, and he frequently – with the help of his trusty chalkboard – advised his faithful audience to take action and do whatever they can to stop the progressive machine. One of his suggestions? Beck was heard telling his followers to “shoot them in the head!” and  that Saving America, and the world for that matter, was in their hands, and he wanted to make sure they knew it.

Claiming to be a Christian who believes in the principles and teachings of God,  Beck advised his audiences to leave the church. Also recorded was his suggestion that someone kill Fareed Zakaria of CNN and his use of an unfortunate event in Egypt, where a female journalist was sexually assaulted, to prove his chalkboard was right about Egyptians.

That he was able to stay on a so-called “news network” for two years spewing these lies, hate and fear to the American people is not only a testament to who and what Glenn Beck is, it also speaks volume for the Fox Network itself. Only when the network began losing money from sponsors and advertisers, did they even begin to consider not renewing Beck’s contract. With over 300 sponsors deciding to pull the plug on Beck’s show, Fox finally decided to do the same.

But with a news organization that obviously prefers profits over content, it’s just a matter of time before the next version of Glenn Beck is premiered. Wait for it…!

Anthony Weiner Featured New York United States

The Wrestling Match Between Anthony Weiner, Sean Hannity and Michele Bachmann

You have to hand it to Anthony Weiner, Democratic Representative from New York. He appeared on a FOX show hosted by Sean Hannity and got double teamed by the host and his other guest, Michele Bachmann.

What made this video most enjoyable was seeing the obviously transparent ways the right winged host, who is supposed to practice  “Fair and Balanced” journalism,  attacks Mr. Weiner. Needless to say, Weiner didn’t get to say much, but he eventually realized what was happening and advised the host;

Sean, make it three on one next time. Make it three on one or four on one next time. I’m ready for you.

The “Fair and Balanced” host shot back with a personal attack on his guest, telling Mr. Weiner, “You’re a star, just don’t look in the mirror.” Mr. Weiner replied with a laugh, saying “I love these balanced debates.”

How this  ‘organization’  is  allowed to bear the name “news”  in its title is still beyond my understanding.

Shep Smith of Fox News Tells The Truth! When Will He Be Fired?

As I write this post, I’m hearing the song, “Hit the road Jack,” playing in my head, and I can’t help but feel that it’s just a matter of time before Fox News sings that song to Shep Smith. He actually has a mind, and although sometimes he falls in line and echos their extremists talking points, for the most part, Shep Smith goes off on his own and tells it like it really is. So for this reason, he’s not a good fit for the liars at FOX.

Mr. Smith Goes To Wisconsin

His latest stab at the truth came this week when he again, branched off  and defied the talking heads at FOX.  Shep stated that what’s happening in Wisconsin “has nothing to do with the budget,” and he correctly sees  governor Walker’s actions for what they really are… dirty politics.

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly Needs A Lesson In Honesty

In the heat of the Health Care battle when all manner of accusations were made against President Obama and the Democrats implementation of  Health Care reform, Senator Tom Coburn accurately said that FOX News were spreading false and misleading information insinuating that Americans will be jailed if they don’t purchase Health Insurance.

Bill O’Reilly, in his effort to prove Mr. Coburn wrong and restore Fox’s unknown reputation for truth-telling, brought the senator on his show, The O’Reilly Factor and did what he does best – lied-  saying no one at FOX ever made the statement.

Of course, it’s all on tape…

Study Finds that Watching Foxnews Makes You Stupid!

Image via Wikipedia

This is not the left winged media trying to mislead you. No, this is an actual study of FOX viewers and their knowledge of what is actually going on in the world today. These viewers were then compared to other network viewers and the result was not shocking, but confirmed what is already known – that watching FOX makes you stupid!

In the questions below, Fox News viewers placed first in the percentage of those who were misinformed (they placed second in the question on TARP).

The group conducting the study, World Public Opinion found the following:

  • Though the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) concluded that the stimulus legislation has saved or created 2.0-5.2 million jobs, 92% of viewers believed the Stimulus lost jobs
  • Though the CBO concluded that the health reform law would reduce the budget deficit, 53% thought the health reform law increased the deficit.
  • Though the Department of Commerce says that the US economy began to recover from recession in the third quarter of 2009, 55% thought the economy is still getting worse.
  • Though the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that climate change is occurring, 45% of voters thought most scientists think climate change is not occurring.

Other key points of misinformation among voters were:

  • 40% of voters believed incorrectly that the TARP legislation was initiated under Barack Obama, rather than George Bush
  • 54% believed that there were no tax cuts in the stimulus legislation
  • 86% wrongly assumed their taxes had gone up instead of going down under President Obama
  • 53% thought that the bailout of GM and Chrysler occurred only under Obama, though it was initiated under Bush

The report also finds that Republicans are generally more stupid than Democrats. When the following questions were asked across party lines, respondents replies were as followed;

  • Is the American Economy getting worst? – 72% of Republicans said yes. For Democrats on the other hand, only 36% said yes, the economy is getting worst.
  • Is Health Care reform going to increase the deficit? – 73% of Republicans said yes. For Democrats on the other hand, only 31% said yes, Health Care will increase the deficit.
  • Were there Tax Cuts included in the Stimulus? – 67% of Republicans said No. For Democrats on the other hand, only 42% said no, tax cuts were not included in the Stimulus.
  • Is there an agreement among scientists that Global Warming is occurring? – 62% of Republicans said no. For Democrats on the other hand, only 26% said no, scientists don’t agree on Global Warming.
  • Was President Obama born in the United States? – 64% of Republicans said No. For Democrats on the other hand, only 17% said no, President Obama was not born in the United States.

The conclusion?

Fox so-called-news will be more believable if they change their name and call themselves the Pinocchio Network. But even if they change their name, there will be  those viewers who will continue to watch, unable to decipher the lies and misinformation from the lies and misinformation.
