Fox News' Scott asks McCain to react to "left-wing media" who note earmarks are less than 2 percent of spending bill

Wasn't he supposed to name names?

 

Yes, it's from the "left-wing media" because it is founded in facts and reality.

 

 

Man, FNC LOVES MCCAIN. Is he on there every segment of every day??

I love how they continue to play the under dog even though their ratings are sky high "oh the evil mean bad and nasty librul MSM is out to lie to you".

Fox is part of the MSM but shhh, don't tell their corporate secret.

Why doesn't anyone ask him what spending on any of these projects has to do with people being out of work?

It's a complete non sequitur.

Prove that it's $8 Billion in wasteful spending Senator.  You aren't off to a good start with the pig odor talking point.  From what I hear that's pretty important to the people who live nearby.  Not everyone can just go to another one of their 8 homes if the odor becomes unbearable. I imagine that in addition to making their lives more palatable it would increase their property values and I suspect it would create a few jobs too. 

Fox knows the earmarks are 1.9% and they want to just come out and say it. They really do. It would be so cool to be able to function as a "news" channel for just one fleeting moment. People would have a skip in their step coming in to work the next day.

But they'd get angry calls and emails from their fans, so that's the end of that. Back to the grind at the Propaganda Mill.

I especially like how the host implies that it's just the left wing media who are 'saying' that the earmarks are only a small part of the budget.

Anyone who is honest about the budget admits that it's only a small part. Tonight one of the distortions on FoxNews was that they said that "the Obama Administration says that this budget measure is part of Bush's budget and was written last fall."

But it's not that they SAY that it's last year's budget from Bush. It IS last year's budget from Bush. This not an opinion. It's a relevant fact that means that Obama doesn't have a campaign promise to live up to relative to this measure!!!
