      There is NO story here other than the one that FOX created. But watch, the mainstream media will start jumping through hoops - Kelly is right in that regard. I can't wait to hear the next ABC Nightly News Poll on this story.

        I don't think this story has legs. Jeez. You could fit the whole group they're talking about in a minivan.

          That's why I don't get it - it is a race baiting issue more than anything else.

            It is. For some reason, Fox news has amped up the racial stuff big time recently.

            And Beck and Limbaugh are off the charts.

            I saw that the NAACP is going to hammer the Tea Party twits on race. I wonder if they can sue Beck and Limbaugh for the same thing?

            The frightened old wingnuts just can't understand why the rest of the country doesn't go into a panic attack every time they hear a clip of a black man ranting.

            A caller to Boss Limburger today explained how Obama won the election; The media didn't play that clip of Rev. Wright, so nobody saw it. Seriously. Then Dittobot and Rushbo had a little discussion about the uninformed electorate.

            I'm concerned about the wussification of the country, with all of these right wingers so scared of their own boogiemen that they convince themselves anybody who isn't wetting their pants must not be aware of the boogie men.

      She's not entirely incorrect. Before Fox, there was no "there" there. News outlets are now responding to the controversy that Fox stoked, rather than any real wrongdoing.

      Translation: We twisted ourselves into pretzels blowing this non-story totally out of proportion. We had to brow beat the MSM into regurgitating our bullsh*t.

      If this works, the Troglodytes win. As long as the other networks let FOX drag them around by the nose, we ain't got a chance.

      Umm, fox, I hate to break it to you, but you are part of the media. And aside from that, it is a non story.

      Hey, Megyn, don't sell yourself short. You not only dragged the media to this "story" kicking and screaming, you also dragged the public.

      I think we all need to make a fist and offer Fox the one finger salute, in unison.
