I’m taking care of a sick relative whose mother blares fox news on the TV all day, every day. As a result I have the privilege of listening to Hannity, O’Reilly and Beck every day now. There’s no escaping it; I hear the angry heads news network when I’m trying to work, trying to sleep, trying to read. Some days I can take it, other days I just want to scream back at the TV.
Tonight’s “headline” was “Is Obama in over his head?” Does he know what he’s doing? Isn’t he too inexperienced to handle this job?
Their first guest to answer the question was Newt Gingrich.
How is this a fucking news story? It’s a hit job no different than the attack ads during the campaign. Bush couldn’t even speak english, and yet it was not headline news anywhere that he was in over his head.
I *hate* how they continue to call their network fair and balanced, as if to mock us. They’ve used plenty of unfair editing tactics and just plain shouting to silence progressive guests, but it seems like they’re not even trying anymore. Your first expert on this non-news story is former speaker of the house and leader of the republican party? How many times do you have Pelosi on? Or other democratic house leaders? Hoyer? Gephardt?
You can expect these rants to continue as I continue to have to endure this loud bullshit.
