Title: Fox News and spinning
Post by: delalluvia on October 07, 2006, 02:03:55 pm
Recently, during the Foley scandal, Fox News got caught with its pants down exposing even more blatantly its partisanship, putting up screaming headlines on its newscasts, calling Foley an "ex-Democrat" or emphasizing his ties to the Democratic party instead of calling him what he is today, a REPUBLICAN congressman.

This came out shortly after  While funny, it is also a
very educational, informative look at how something
can be implied and spun by simple phrasing and
sentence construction:

It was so ridiculously blatant that I was going WTF??!?!  Fox has a very low opinion of the intelligence of its audience.
