Are you kidding? The question mark king?..

Yeah, I like that, too, Surely. Pesonal favorite for suttlety is the good old “Some people are saying…” construction they are so fond of. “Some people are saying that if the Dems win Eagle Scouts will be forced into gay marriages…” Etc.

Fox ever made a retraction on the “Foley (D-Fla)” goof?
[/QUOTE]
No need to. D could mean:
Deviant,
Drunk,
Deceptive,
Disgusting,
Dried-out,
Daddy-type,
Degenterate,
– or all of the above.

Are you kidding? The question mark king? The one who now has a punctuation mark named after him? Cavuto is the king up putting up a damaging, untrue accusation against people he doesn’t like, then putting a question mark after it. That way, he can say he didn’t really say that, he was just asking a question. Examples include: “Have the Democrats Forgotten the Lessons of 9/11?”; “Is the Liberal Media Helping to Fuel Terrorism?”; and “The Best President?”

Eh, I rarely watch it to begin with, so the connection wasn’t made. But now I need to go find that episode of The Daily Show on my DVR.

It’s live-to-tape, yes. However, O’Reilly’s people often chop out the parts where the facts or the guests dispute what the “Culture Warrior” says. They tape more than enough to fill the time, so everything looks smooth, and you don’t see the part where O’R says, “Cut his mike. He’s done!”

Unless you’ve been on the set, I assume you are repeating what you’ve heard from somewhere else. What is your source?
Now Fox is labelling Lincoln Chaffee a Dem and Sheldon Whitehouse a Pub. (Scroll down to #9.)

Uh, that’s been covered already.
I didn’t just learn this today, but my previous observation that Rebecca Gomez is incredibly hot was reinforced…

This is not an art program. It is supposed to be a news program. The “fair and balanced” thing to do would be to insert an “R” in the “old” video over the “D” come hell or high water – correct font or childish scrawl. Too bad if it looks like crap. At least it would be corrected information and in line with journalistic standards and ethics.

Looks like you’ve never been in a control room when all hell is breaking loose. Most days, when there is a problem, you do what you can as fast as you can, then move on. Television deadlines are absolutely unforgiving. While it isn’t the “perfect” solution, simply covering up the mistake does remove the factual error, which is the important thing. (Oh, and I was saying the “coverup” method usually looks crappy.)
Who the hell said anything about an “art program”? (Whatever that is - makes me think of old Bob Ross.)

First, I learned that Rep. Mark Foley is actually a Democrat.

Oh, settle down. Do you really think that this was devised and that Fox was hoping no one would notice?
Sean Hannity’s thoughts and opinions are not Fox’s thoughts and opinions.
There is plenty of actual criticism due Fox news, that you don’t have to create any.
