        Perino was the press secretary during the final months of a lame duck presidency. She sure is milking it for all it is worth.

      It's also possible to tell when Perino lies about her former employer: she opens her mouth and words come out

      Of course he did. And contemporary reports inicated FOX was require watching. That is what dictators do. Even the dictator-wanna-be's.

      Doesn't it strike anyone on the right as odd that FNC was the only one accused of fake news. It could be that FNC was promoting fake news and none of the other news agencies are so systemic in their lies that it attracts the WH's attention.

      MSNBC, ABC, and CBS do run critical news stories about the Obama administration, but Obama isn't attacking them. It's because when those news organizations make a mistake, the reporters and anchors admit the mistake and apologize. FNC, on the other hand, just comes up with more lies to divert attention from the previous lies.

        I thought the fox-trot was the illness you suffer (including diarrhea) after watching too much Faux News.

      Thank you for your "charitable" remarks, Dana. To summarize (via Orwell)...

      Unfair = Truth.

      There is no targeting Fox, simply calling them out for exactly who there are...they then whine and stamp their widdle feet.

      And finally a reference to the Moonie run Washington Times, not even truthful enough for fish wrapping.

      Again she makes the false equivalency between MSNBC and FoxNews!!!

      FoxNews has been caught multiple times with lies, distortions, and omissions. Similar things have not been uncovered about MSNBC!

      And then she tries to claim that the Washington Times has a good story today - but they don't. She is pushing a baseless story. MSNBC doesn't do that with a political agenda in mind.

        Nor has anybody uncovered any corporate e-mails from MS-NBC directing their on-air talent on how to play stories, what loaded language to use, etc.

      Noooo. How about also saying the Bush Administration tried to sue The New York Times and Bushie himself telling Cheney that a reporter of The New York Times was an A&sH%le!

        Don't forget, the Bush administration was looking to indict folks at the NY Times for breaking the story about illegal wiretapping. They didn't do it, but they were seriously thinking about it.

      A little disengenuous of Perino to NOT comment about Bush NOT granting the NYT a single interview during his second term in office . .

      eh?

      As fast as she talks she cannot swoosh past that the Bush WH 'may' have had their TV's tuned to Fox only.......and Cheney 'may have' banished a NYT reporter...and Dana blasted ONLY NBC while the press secretary...of course the only un-Americans during the Bush administration were those Americans who protested the war. It is so difficult to listen to these untruthful people and the fact that 'The Judge' knew about all that Bush/Cheney did to contrary news outlets makes him look foolish...but the money must be great it soothes the greedy, dishonest 'professional' souls.

      It's also possible that Cheney shot his friend while quail hunting, and there's a remote possibility that Cheney told Sen Patrick Lehey to go f**k himself....

      She says, very clearly, that it's a double standard when FOX is the target.

      When the Bush White House it was "fight[ing] back against what [they] thought was unfair news coverage." But when the Obama White House does the same it's tantamount to burning the First Amendment (which—as she states and we all know—Bush and Co. had "a healthy respect for the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press").
