The Fox “News” Spin Cycle ► Episode Two

Bizarro is owned by DC Comics

Who knew that when I posted Episode One of the The Fox “News” Spin Cycle, there would be enough material for a new episode
just 32 hours later? And, I’m not even searching for these gems. I just
collect them as they hit my facebook feed. 

However,
that’s an indication of how hard the Fox “News” Spin Cycle is working,
having ratcheted itself into overdrive in order to WHITEwash the Romney-Ryan ticket. 

Today’s
Silliest Thing In The World™ is the new faux outrage on the Right: Vice
President Joe Biden mentioned CHAINS and the Faux Outrage Machine
assumes he was talking about slavery. Now apologies are being demanded
and people on my facebook feed want to argue the point with me. 

IRONY ALERT: Bully Boy Bolling wondering about “journalistic integrity”vs “media bias

While it’s not true, of course, it’s still better than letting the auto industry go bankrupt

The context? VP Biden said that Romney wants to UNCHAIN Wall Street.
But any mention of chains automatically refers to slavery, right?
Bully Boy Bolling certainly knows “media bias” since it’s all he does.
Hey, Eric? Fox “News” is the mainstream media.

I think Bully Boy Bolling is obsessing. Thin skin much?

This is my favourite: Bully Boy Bolling mistook Mediaite’s accurate reporting
on what The Five said as support for what The Five said. That’s just sad.

Already laying the groundwork to say the debate moderators are in the tank for President Obama.

Maddow gave as good as she got, when Lowry actually
let her talk, but he just kept yelling “Can you answer?”

OMG!!! He praised bipartisanship!!!

Romney guy blows his gasket and Fox Nation thinks that’s “crushing” the anchor.

Oddly enough nothings is said about “Romney Man” blowing the talking points.

Oh! Stop!! My!!! Sides!!!!

Backhanded criticism: Mittens Romney does use a
telepromter, as does ever “news” personality on Fox.
Backhanded criticism: Romney was boring before he met Ryan.

Hoo boy!!!

The Obama Camp knows that Romney couldn’t draw that crowd by himself. More backhanded criticism.

The Fox “News” Spin Cycle ► Episode One

For the last little while I have been collecting some of the propaganda sent out by Fox “News” over its facebook feeds. The Fox “News” Spin Cycle™ has been on overdrive lately in its attempt to WHITEwash Mittens Romney. It’s as if they live in an alternate reality. Oh, wait, they do!!! It’s as if we have all landed in Bizarro World, which is where all Fox “News” viewers live; an alternate reality where facts are meaningless and belief in the fear-mongering bullshit they are fed. Clearly they live by the Bizarro Code. Here are just a few of the most egregious and/or funny, depending on your point of view:

Once Harry Reid started asking for Mitten’s tax returns, he was ripe for a Fox “News” attack.

Angry BLACK man, be afraid!!! Be very afraid!!!

When Mitten not releasing his tax returns became the issue, it was time to attack Jay Carney.

Did you know that when they opened Al Capone’s vault, they found President Obama?

Bully Boy Bolling sends out a lot of crap. All he need do is squeeze his head.

Not mentioned: He laid his chicken feed in front of two lesbians
and made remarks that made them both uncomfortable.

This from the so-called “news” network that invented mind-numbing claims.

Of course he wasn’t by any stretch of the imagination, but you gotta love the imagery.

As opposed to the Mittens Romney plan, which is to
repeal Obamacare on Day One so no one has it.

Bernie Goldberg is Bill “Falafel King” O’Reilly’s go-to guy for attacking
the so-called left-wing media, which is another demonstrably false lie.

This is, of course, a total distortion of what was said. The President mentioned it in passing
and didn’t complain about it. Angry BLACK man? Be afraid!!! Be very afraid!!!

If anyone knows lies, it’s Fox “News” because this is another lie. Yet, somehow they
never seem to cover the lies that come out of Mendacious Mitt’s own mouth.

No one has held Big Banks feet to the fire like this administration and it ain’t over yet.

Fox “News” started the “You didn’t build that” lie with deceptively edited video.
Mendacious Mitt was happy to run with it and is still using this demonstrably false meme.

And why would they? The “killing woman” lie is a deliberately misleading
reading of the advert and the question is based on this false framing.
Playing to its Hate Homos crowd, Fox “News” continues its Chicken Shit cultural war.

Stay tuned for more reports from Bizarro World the Fox “News” Spin Cycle™. As we get closer to the election, the lies will be coming fast and furious.

Today’s Fox Snark ► Gretchen Carlson ► Updated with New Snark!!!

Following Fox “News” personalities on Twitter and facebook can be a never-ending source of amusement. Especially Gretchen Carlson.

UPDATE:

Names have been called. I absolutely deny being an anal grammarian. I have made my own share of errors and typos over the years and, no doubt, you’ll find some here. We all make typos. Here’s what makes gretchen carlson’s messages stand out: the guests names are always in lower case, while more gets capitalized than absolutely necessary. Add to that all the other errors and following gretchen carlson is like following a Magical Metaphor™ for the Current State of Journalism in ‘Merka™.

Since the above, I also caught:

It’s not that she doesn’t know where the Caps Lock Key is. However, it’s only for corporations: NY Times, JP Morgan, Solyndra and Congress. Most ironically she can also capitalize Capitol Hill. Just not people.

Is gretchen carlson is trying to be the e.e.cummings of journalism???
