Jim Dandy: So.. the right wing orgs (fox and internet) lied.

And I thought (so some right wingers here have said) fox was a unbiased new org.

(V): They'll just change the spin, as they did at the end of the clip.Now it's not about the misrepresentation of the woman, it's about the administration buying their lies

Jim Dandy: The left spins it all day. If it wasn't for Fox, many stories that reveal the troubling truths about legislation coming from the Obama administration would never see the light of day.

Jim Dandy: They have the advantage of being able to play on cold war propaganda... socialism, communism, liberalism, etc.. left is bad..

Guess the fear of a stupid WMD war being started by someone (left or right) left it's mark. So did the 331 nuclear weapons tests by the USA.. much of it just boys playing with their toys.

(V): True, they are masters at exploiting the "bogymen",and playing on fear.How they get away on maintaining the mantle of cutting spending I'll never know.The deficit shot up bigtime when St Ronny got in after Carter,and did the same after GW took over from Clinton..........They are very disiplined at staying on messege though, a fine tuned machine.

Jim Dandy: Because it's always military spending that goes up. Wars.. star wars projects, etc, etc.

But to spend on helping the people of the USA or it's infrastructure.. that's a sin for some reason. That under Bush the deficit sky rocketed and to bring that spending under control regardless of what is needed to stop the high probability of a total economic collapse.. is going to affect the books.

As to putting money into the economy is a waste... I saw a business just about to under on a prog. It needed just some new machinery. One gut saw the potential and invested... The business is great and the bloke is making a nice bit from the investment.

Jim Dandy: Rachel Maddow? If she leaned any further left she'd fall over.

Typical reply from the left. The fact that the White House threw her under the bus isn't newsworthy? That BAD on the WH.

And even the NAACP threw the poor girl under the bus - without checking the facts!!!

Can you say knee jerk?

But it does go to show just how racial the NAACP was back then. The crowed voiced their agreement to her statement about not helping a white man. They didn't know where she was going with it.

That said, I do find it odd that a 25 year old video can produce such negative effects. Still, wasn't it the NAACP that just made the bogus claims about the Tea Party being racist? Yeah. Never mind that left-wingers posed as Tea Partiers and made racial comments and the signs that the NAACP claims existed have never been proven. And they are still pushing forth the lie about racial slurs being leveled at certain members of congress even though ALL THE VIDEOS show otherwise.

Can you say double standard?

The White House shakes in it's boots at Fox for one reason: Fox isn't in the business of biased news reporting. And they cover stories the other outlets bury.

Sorry but I see a bit of poetic justice in all this. Obama will look so bad to his base. He caved into his fears of what Beck might have to say on the matter.

Artful Dodger: Fox wasn't "knee jerk" in their initial reporting of an edited speech?

I think Maddow broke it down well,typical Fox

Jim Dandy: I'm not concerned with Fox. I'm more concerned with the WH and the dishonest NAACP.

Subject: Re: Fox news?

Artful Dodger:Andrew Brietbart, in cahoots with Fox created this mess,they along with the WH owe this woman,and the farmer an apology.The NAACP have already done so.Fox wil just keep spinning along.Instead of her speech being about her wonderful epiphony, they edited it into the gutter

21. July 2010, 21:29:58

Subject: Re: Fox news?

Jim Dandy: False. they did NOT edit it and that is an indisputable fact. You don't even know where that video came from but it came edited like that. The video wasn't presented as a full video but as an edited one. And as of my last reading, they still don't know who edited it.

21. July 2010, 21:41:30

Subject: Re: Fox news?

Artful Dodger: Brietbart and Fox should be ashamed of themselves for commenting on an edited video without knowing the complete story.When the true story came to light, they both should have apologised to the same degree that the performed the hatchet job on her
