Fox News argues over Obama win

[chance1]

Ok, I was wrong in you mentioning hispanics. I admit that and I'm sorry.

However, your original statement stings with racism. How do you know those people don't work hard?

Why not just admit your statement was wrong.

An apology ? Imagine that

Not seen in these parts

You're awesome and real Jack

And there's a serious shortage of both

Cheers

But then it was decided that Kelly would walk through the office and interview the decision team in the conference room. “This is Fox News,” an insider said, “so anytime there’s a chance to show off Megyn Kelly’s legs they’ll go for it.”

How Karl Rove Fought With Fox News Over the Ohio Call

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/11/how-rove-fought-with-fox-over-ohio.html

It was an hilarious segment.

FOX never looked so ridiculous.

Except when Kelly asked him if "Is this just math you do to make Republicans feel better?"

Priceless.

 

[chance1]

^ it was real

"How do u feel about your #s"

Megan was awesome and should be commended

Bitter is better i guess

 

[Jack Springer]

I said I was sorry.

 

[frankfrank]

Sorry to say but actually you, Jack are as much a part of the problem as any left minded poster here. taking what one says out of context isn't right no matter who's doing it. I've seen that several times on the right here....and I'm closer to tem here politically than those on the left. This one being one....remember also the foolish controversy about Obama calling the Chinese our closest allies when he was CLEARLY referencing Romney's gaffe while in the UK of outwardly specuating the UK was unprepared for the Olympic Games? Obama said that if Romney couldn't even deal well with our closest allies(the UK) how can we expect him to have the respect of the Chinese? There is NO excuse for lazy(or worse) mischaracterizing words to fit a particular agenda no matter WHO does it.

Not to mention that Obama said, a year or so ago, something like "Mitt Romney said, [If we talk about the economy, we lose]"

Followed by the venal Romney ad, later, attributing a quote to Obama "If we talk about the economy, we lose."

FUCKIN LYING OUT HIS ASSHOLE!!

Thankfully blatant lies got their ass whupped last Tuesday.

I've been looking for a thread to put this in. Maybe this will cheer up the forum.
I haven't seen anything on the pix of the GOP. This is really clever.

Oddly, you need to look in Hot Topics for such a thread - I think there's two of them there.

 

[JayHawk]

Frank if you go back to the threads that those quotes were in you can uncheck the quote with a plus sign next to it in the future... that clears it as well.

Funny to see people taking sides over semantics.

Easy, demagogic and small minded but no doubt typical. Of course had Romney "stolen" the election successfully the left wouldn't have tears but all out foaming at the mouth rage. Unhinged would get taken to a higher level than Rovian... which grant you was pathetic enough. For every Trumpian flip out that was cringe worthy, these goal line stand spiking the football, high fiving the crowd and dancing til the cows come home shows the innate jerkiness, snarkiness and utter hypocrisy of most progressive activists.

I'm not in tears. Cycles go up and down in politics.... be sure you can handle the situation if reversed more intelligently and thoughtfully. Don't think for the most part that would happen.

If Romney had won -- which would have required stealing the election, as he did several primaries -- we would soon all be all too busy trying to hang on to food and shelter to worry about politics.

 

[Kulindahr]

Sorry, these two posts have NOTHING to do with this thread topic, but posting them seems to be the only way I can clear them out of my queue, for some reason????

Actually they do -- they're looking at one of the reasons given by people at Fox for what happened to the election.

Fox News is now back to covering Libya..something they wouldn't be doing if Bush or a Repulibician is in office. It needs to be looked into but their "outrage" is strictly partisian for the most part.

I guess there's nothing more important than continuing one's own misinformation just show that the misinformation should be information the viewers should know as information.

 

[rareboy]

Fox News itself is now increasingly in the spotlight as well though:

Observers in the media are declaring that Fox News' political activism has damaged the Republican Party in light of its losses in the 2012 elections. Fox figures have actively campaigned for Republican candidates over the past four years and instructed GOP officials on how to behave once they're elected.

As Chance has already noted, FOX has failed nakedly and miserably with their ineffective rabid, and consistently dishonest, partisanship.

I have to think that Rove is over, with his ass handed to him. I have to think that Palin will drop out of the bobblehead game soon as well, since she is no longer relevant to the second term. I expect that FOX will be looking for new faces and voices to make their viewers forget about how wrong so many of their pundits got it again this time around.

 

[chance1]

Fox cares about .....

Ratings

As does AMC and MSNBC

Or rather revenues

Derived much from ratings

IF Fox's goal was Pres. Romney

They failed

I don't think that was their goal

Frankly I would imagine ratings and revenue might be better with a target .... BO

Honestly on Libya... it does need to be looked into. There is a lesson to be learned there but it was not a conspiracy carried out by us it was an attack against us. Plain and fucking simple.

However jumping to conclusions as the body of the Ambassador was still getting cold is pure politics and everything else out of the republican machine (including Fox) was viewed by most as juts that : partisan bullshit.

I saw and article today where two parts of the cia and military timeline differ by 2 minutes and 15 minutes. Somehow that is remarkable proof of something.... it is ridiculous. These people making these assumptions have never worked in a Operations Center and have no fucking clue what they are talking about.

 

[BostonPirate]

Of Course a Romney victory was FOX's goal and of course his loss is a great harm to their credibility. They hosted a series of lies on air that left the GOP so uninformed, that Romney hadn't even bothered to write a concession speech.

He litterally believed he was winning when he wasn't because FOX was spoon feeding it's viewers with only what they want to hear, hardly ever the truth, as he was heading into the closing election. He was broadsided by his loss at the polls. FOX, Rove, and Morris promised them that their data was not flawed.

Now it turns out it was not even scientific, much less not flawed.

This Romney loss is a serious issue for FOX and for the GOP. FOX needs to start delving into facts on occasion, and the GOP needs to find a new news source if they cant.

Until such time as that occurs, they will assist each other in continuing to make each other more irrelevant every day.

Bill O'Reilly blamed hurricane sandy and said it changed the election... I don't even know why I tuned in on Fox News... I just wanted to see all the nasty excuses. First time I've ever watched that station.

Let that be a lesson to you. If Bill O' Reilly explains the exisence of God only by saying that..."tide comes in, tide goes out" - I wouldn't expect too much.

... or in anything resembling an operations center. As a lifeguard at a rather large facility, I had to fill out incident reports for accidents, fights, etc. More than once, the timelines on reports by multiple lifeguards for a given incident didn't match -- and that's in the same facility! When reports are coming from multiple centers with multiple units in the field, I'd be suspicious if everything on their timelines did match perfectly.

I'd like to know who did their internal polls -- or did they just rely on Fox?

Two words sum of Fox News: cognitive dissonance.

Ten days after Katrina, FEMA was still failing to do its job. Ten days after that, it was still failing.

This time, they acted.

It is worth noting that the federal government is no longer legally obstructed from acting so the governors have a lot less power to prevent them from coming into their state. That law was changed by congress AFTER Katrina to the angst of conspiracy theorist who proclaimed it was FEMA setting up to usurp power in America. But never mind all of that... It is Bush's fault dammmit... lol

Additionally, the Governor in NJ is about a thousand times more effective and decisive a leader than that pair of idiots in Katrina's decimated NOLA... Just consider the NJ Mayor who immediately hopped on TV to say they were receiving no help and had Guardsman patrolling their streets fifteen minutes later. That is effective leadership at the Governors level... you know the guy who commands the guardsman.....

Also don't forget that with an effective governor in a much more devastated state the help was efficient and immediate. Take a look at the response Mississippi received. There are so many misconceptions promoted by the airwaves from Katrina it amazes me.

yet at the same time this ignorant attempt by the Limbaughs of the world to proclaim that there are similarities to the two catastrophes is ignorant at best. Dishonest misinformation presented as news at worst. But hell let them have their odd lack of facts bubble. Apparently it prevents them from winning office. Cheers to that idea a thousand times over.
