Fair and balanced Fox News calls Krugman an "egghead"

September 07, 2010 3:18 pm ET by Jamison Foser

Fox Nation keeps it classy:

But remember: it isn't fair to judge all of Fox News by the antics of a few partisans like Sean Hannity. It's really a very serious news organization overall.  

I particularly like the juxtaposition of slogan & headline in this one:

All Opinions Welcome -- even those of effete pointy-headed intellectuals.

      An egghead?
      Golly-gee and gosh-darn. The Fifties are alive and well at Fox.

      Oh, and that's Nobel egghead to you.

      Calling Krugman an egghead is mere silliness.

      Calling Friedman an egghead is just plain cruel.

      Wait a minute now,

      Fox News always refers to George Will as "that Harvard panty-waist."

      And if you believe that, you're even dumber than Limbaugh's audience.

      But Fox News is "fair and balanced..."

      Against education, or Democrats, or gays, or Muslims, or pretty much everyone else. They approach each story from both sides of the political spectrum - conservative and crazy...

      Wow, solidarity foo eber.

      Ask the eggheads what they think of Faux Gnues. The language might be shocking.

      Real life Fox is inching closer to the Idiocracy version of Fox every day.

      How long until the Fox bobbleheads simply look at Krugman's face on the monitor screen and say " huh huh... you talk like a f*g"
