      Im surprised those undercover Video scammers of ACORN didn't use Michele Malkin to pose as the Prostitute.

      Ms. Malkin has already been called a "Political Prostitute" on National TV.

      Oh Gretchen Carlson, im still waiting, "A Hostile Enemy of the United States" Ted Kennedy & "The Poet" deserve a Response.

      A Retraction Please?

        She can't post as a prostitute - she IS a prostitute.

      A typical Fox marketing meeting:

      Well, we've attacked just about everyone. Who's left?

      Oh, people who volunteer?

      Hmmmm.... Sound's good. But how can we spin it?

      Good idea, make it look like gov't money is being wasted. But don't let it get into discussions about Halliburton, or our other contributors, ok?

      Would there be any objection if the call to national service was faith based?

        Not from me. Back when I was a practicing Catholic, my church regularly made a call to volunteer in our local communities, and we did it.

      I wish these creeps would be just as concerned with wasteful military spending as they are with government service funds.

      They're concerned about $6 billion more to promote volunteer service, yet not one these zombies blinked an eye when 8 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.

      For over 2 years now during the month of Feb the 3 ABC soap operas- All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital have storylines and give PSAs regarding Women and Heart Disease- working with the American Heart Association and Campell Products. So basically using tv programming/shows to get a message across is nothing new

        Nancy Reagan employed the networks to get her "Just Say No" message out, too. This is just a bunch of selective recall.

        I have determined that it is a heretofore unknown disease - I call it Selective Attention Deficit Disorder (SADD).

          That's why all those VH1 "Behind the Music" shows with 80s bands all focused on their drug use. They bought into Nancy Reagan's propaganda bribe program. And collected quite a bit of money from her doing it, too.

      I find Michelle and the Frenimies more than a little creepy. Why do the Foxtarts and Foxterds go out of their way to twist even the most innocent thing into something ugly and nasty. You know if "Handsome is as handsome does" is true, then Ugly is as Ugly does. The one saving grace, she didn't seem like she was spitting or barfing on them, like she usually does when talking to liberals.

      This nutjob was on the morning show saying that GWB never did any of the things that the Obama Administration does with the media. WTF! She does not know her history or wants to brush it off. Bush never went on MSNBC or CNN as I recall. Plus he and his administration went to war with the New York Times and right-wing cheered him for doing it. Since it is happening to the right-wing now they do not like it!

        Not only did they "go to war" with the NY Times, there were people within the Bush administration pushing for prosecution against the NY Times, as were many people on FoxNews.

      Just a reminder that Fox is suposedely a "news" outfit, not an entertainment network (which they are). This is not the "E" channel or the Food Network, where entertainment and/or opinion is warrented....The problem is not their dissent in it of itself, but their dissent based on nothing but propagated lies and distortions.....I haven't an issue with disagreement as long as it's based in facts and not fabrications.... It they do not want to change their ways (and they won't), then drop the "news" and add "entertainment", lose "fair and balanced" (LOL) and replace it with "fixed and biased". I guarantee that there wouldn't be any further issues with their programming, because it would be seen by everyone, even the blind (metaphorically speaking) for what it is.....And even if it was limited to the "opinion" shows (BS), it's still not an excuse to LIE........

      Just a reminder people. In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States. During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.

      I cannot keep track of the conservative 'Michelles', but this one seems to only have one facial expression.
      That is how I will remember her.
      Stone-cold Michelle Malkin.

      When Michelle mentions that there's a lot of, "questions being raised about the abuse of these funds for service," they show a clip of an Acorn office in the background.

      What I thought was odd about this was that I was under the impression that Fox and Friends was a live television show. If it is indeed broadcast live, there would had to have been some collusion between interviewer and guest beforehand as to exactly what questions were to be asked and how they were to be answered. Is my analysis off base or is this another example Fox being a scripted political advertisement as opposed to a news organization?
