      Please refer to this site as Miltia's Media instead of Fox Nation because that is what they are catering to.

      Makes you wonder who Fox hired to run that site.

      I'm thinking it's people who couldn't meet the professional standards of the Weekly World News.

        At least the Weekly World News makes no pretense to being a credible news gathering organization and it at least has some value in that it's friggin' hilarious. FUX News can't even make that claim. Interesting though--I think Glenn Beck is Batboy, or Batshit Boy, rather.

      Fox Nation is an online tabloid version of the National Enquire. That site is operated by Fox News Network employees/freelancers. The online producers work closely with the tv folks. The higher ups are the ones who decides what is to be posted on Fox Nation.

      Fox Nation is a tool to help the GOP regain political power in Washington through smears and innuendos.

      But we all knew that already.

      Fox Nation has already changed the headline to, "Why is Obama Comparing Himself to FDR?"

      Maybe someone there reads Media Matters.

      Yeah, yeah, I know I'm just being lazy by not checking out Fox News, but is this accusation based on, y'know, anything real? Is there actually something that the President said that gives anybody the reasonable suspicion that he sees some sort of comparison between himself and FDR?

        I'll be your enabler, lazybones. At a fundraiser Obama said "I would put these first four months up against any prior administration since FDR."

        That's their basis. So, no, he didn't compare himself to FDR by any reasonable standard.

      Wait... I thought they all hated FDR. I though the new deal didn;t work and all that... WHY would they have a problem with Obama comparing himself to FDR even were it true, as they presented it? Doesn't that just proove their whole 'socialist' point? I'm confused.
