My, my.  Do the wonders of bullshit never end? So Rupert knew, but didn't want to share...?  Yeah...that might have been a *tad* significant.

Fox News has become/been the sibling that constantly feels the need to get their other sibling in trouble, that winds up getting in more shit themselves, once the BS is unraveled.

The only difference is...unless it's something truly simplistic in nature to understand, something they can't keep bullshitting about because even the most non-astute of their viewers can see the contrary BS...they keep plodding along otherwise.  Milking that crap for every ounce of hackery they can. Especially on items that seemingly have a tad bit more of nuance or something that can be injected with a bunch of "what ifs."

They really are a journalistic scourge.

I think the thing that annoys me most is that the regular viewer cannot (or refuses to) tell the difference between a witch hunt and actual news that contains unflattering or negative implications in the story.

There's a huge difference in news items that aren't positive for the individual or thing being reported, based on the information provided that can cast a negative light...and the news organization itself, making sure that they will only relay stories that contain content that is negative or CAN BE skewed to produce that effect.

President Obama is far from perfect. None of us are. But if you only watch Fox News, you'd be convinced that he has never, ever done anything that had one ounce of positivity or neutrality.  I mean...nothing. I've met and known some miserable pricks in my day...but I've never met someone who is wrong 24/7. Not according to Fox, however.  President Obama is wrong, has been wrong, on EVERYTHING...even the stuff he got right, they will make sure you understand it's not as positive, and matter as fact, it's actually negative...contrary to what the information suggests.
