i actually saw the mark foley one

I think it's just automatic now. When a high-profile Republican gets into trouble, Fox News steps in to mislead their sheep viewers by labeling them as Democrats.

Here's a short list of Fox's chyron hackery:

John McCain - Democrat
Joe Lieberman - Democrat
Arlen Spector - Democrat (when he was still a Republican!)
Mark Foley - Democrat

Media Matters also caught Fox listing a Democratic strategist as Bush's head of FEMA -- because his name happened to be Michael Brown. Oh, and we can't forget the time they announced Rep. William Jefferson's indictment using footage of Congressman John Conyers. They apologized to their audience, but never to Conyers personally.

I'm sure it was just an oversight, just like all the rest...riiiight. Have I missed any?

Dave N:

It's almost a clockwork thing.

Whenever Fox News wants you to forget that someone is actually a Republican, they, ah, accidentally label them a Democrat on their chryon and let it go. So they did that today, as you can see, while Mark Sanford was explaining that he had been in Argentina to screw around on his wife. (They corrected it in later chryons.)

Hardly the first time this has happened.

There was the time they ID'ed Mark Foley, in the midst of another sex scandal, as a Democrat too.

At other times with sex scandals, as with Sen. Larry Craig, they simply have forgotten to identify them as Republicans.

They've also done it when someone's Republican status is inconvenient:

When Arlen Specter was attacking conservative shibboleths, he got labeled a D too.

And then there was the time John McCain was labeled a Democrat too. At the time that just seemed weird, but now, with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and a host of other conservatives promoting the notion that McCain was just a fake Republican anyway, it makes a certain kind of sense.

Fox sense, that is.

Quote bigtimesoapfan: I think it's a sad day in this country when our president has the balls to go to other countries and apoligize for us Americans like when he spoke in France and called us Arrogant. Hello was he kdding Telling France that we are arrogant! Thats like calling thew kettle black(IMO) Give me a break! If it wasn't for the United States, France and all the rest would be under Nazi control! They should still be kissing our arses! or him doing the speech inside a church recetly and having them cover up the word Christ! Hello it's a church if you don't like it shoot your stupid speech elsewhere!! Fox news is the only real news! the others are a joke!


And don't forget. Had it not been for France's help to us in the 1770's, we might still be British subjects.

Quote lovesit: What gets me is how he said "We are not a nation of Christians... we are a nation of individuals." So now America has no distinct factors? Why, then, are people still flocking to get here?
Although I am a Christian, and have quit taking offense to him totally dismissing how this country was formed, this is a complete lie. The majority is Christian.

China is a nation of individuals, too. Its called the "People's Republic of China." Lets just move there to see how a nation of "indivduals" is treated. Why aren't BOTH parties raising up and confronting him on some of these issues" We are losing our "self" to appease every one else, and that is not fair, nor balanced. And no station is reporting on this.


we are not a country of christians. We are a country of freedom. We are free to be christian, jewish, agnostic, athiest, muslim, speghetti monster worshipers, anything we want. We do not have a national religion.

This country was formed by people coming here for religious freedom. Most were outlaws of some sort and didn't want to be catholic. Actually I am grateful that we all aren't that puritan factor that got so much play. I look very pale in black and I like witches.


lol. some of my earliest ancestors came to America to keep from getting burned at the stake where they came from. And as their descendant, I say keep the religious fanatics as far as possible from government. And even though my people have fought in every war we have ever had and have been Americans for hundreds of years, that does not stop me from seeing when we are doing something wrong (like torture) and wanting it stopped. Let's behave in a way that we can all be proud of.

I, personally, like Fox News. They may get it wrong once in awhile....but they are NOT biased. Better than the slanted news on other channels.

Our country was founded on Christian/ Judaic principles. It was NOT freedom FROM religion. It was actually freedom of religion. The freedom to participate in any religion and tolerate others. The first Europeans to come to America came because of religious persecution. They could not practice their beliefs. Others came as indentured servants. Earned their freedom.

The problem is that the history books that children have studied the past 20-30 years have been rewritten to avoid how important Christianity was to the history of our country, it's laws,it's government and it's people. Very sad.

No, just people who want to think for themselves instead of being brainwashed from a soundbite.

Fox Nation ignores resident Chris Wallace
July 03, 2009 6:42 pm ET



SUMMARY: A Fox Nation headline asked, "Obama Busted Stacking Town Hall ... What If Bush Had?" But the same day on Fox News, Chris Wallace stated, "I know in the Bush administration, George W. Bush, they had a lot of these town hall meetings, and they chose all the people there."

fair and balanced??? hardly
