      I'll never forgive James Rosen for his disrespectful obituary when Kurt Vonnegut passed away.

      Next week on The Young and the Beautiful, the telepromptor is caught cheating with notecards in a seedy hotel room. Obama sobs in his bed when hearing the news of the betrayal.

      Since when is this supposed to be a special report with news significance? Fox: Yeah, We Don't Have a Clue What To Do But Make Up Stories And Call It News.

      Every bigwig uses a teleprompter nowadays. Why would we want to either force them to memorize what they want to say, or be looking down at notes all the time?

        It's Faux News' current version of 'serial-exaggerator Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet.' It's a really dumb ass taunt that they repeat endlessly in order to ridicule people who they can't otherwise lay a glove on. Also, it's total senselessness has a real appeal to their troglodyte base.

      They're jealous because Obama doesn't need to read every word off the teleprompter, and that he is very good at using it. Remember Dumbya's speeches? He had two teleprompters and a deck pf note cards, and every one of his speeches was "read two words off the left teleprompter, pause, look at the crowd, read three words off my note cards, pause, smile as if I had just done something incredibly witty or difficult, look at the right teleprompter, find my place, read two words, pause, look at the crowd, laugh, read three words off the note cards, turn to the left teleprompter, find my place, read two words, rinse, and repeat..."

      Obama uses the teleprompters as a reminder of where he is in his speech, like cue cards, because he already knows what he wants to say, and can form coherent sentences off the cuff. Dumbya clung to the teleprompters like life preservers because he had no clue what he was saying, and that's why FOX news has their panties in a wad about it.

      You know, I can't say that this was a demeaning report by Fox, but I can't believe the attention that teleprompters are given now that Obama is the president, just like government spending and whatnot.
