Oh it’s on!  Anita Dunn, the White House communications director: “We’re going to treat them [Fox News] the way we would treat an opponent. As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

Fox news took footage from September of Joe Biden quoting John McCain saying the fundamentals of the economy were strong, and used it as a sign that Democrats are now singing a different tune on the economy.

After the segment, Fox News’s Martha MacCallum said, “All right, well the mantra for the weekend is clear, looking at what was said over the course of the shows on Sunday.”  Except Biden’s quote wasn’t his own and it was from September 2008.

And that’s not nearly as bad as RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s dipsy do on Global warming.

“Thank you, thank you,” he said. “We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I am using my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process. Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right? Iceland, which is now green. Oh I love this. Like we know what this planet is all about. How long have we been here? How long? No very long.”

I’ll never understand the desire to put your head in the sand, ignore any sort of desire for intelligence and be okay with that.

There was a harmless anti-war protest Sunday afternoon in Denver.� The protesters named themselves Recreate 68, you know, except without all the violence and stuff.� So this time around they were marching around and Fox News sent in their most inept correspondent.� No one would grant him an interview, which means that the protesters are against freedom and specifically Freedom of Speech.

Then the protesters exercised their freedom of speech by chanting “F*ck Fox News!”� I wasn’t a twinkle in my parent’s eye back in 1968, but I sort of miss it already.� Anyway, I never understood why lefties would protest at the Democratic Convention.� Wouldn’t it make more sense to cause some mucky muck in St. Paul for the Republicans?� Can someone explain this to me?� Seriously, I’m perplexed why the Green Party, and anti-war people would protest the Democrats.

Faux News aired the first of two presidential documentaries on Monday night called “Character and Conduct.” I haven’t seen the Barack Obama documentary. However, the guys over at 23/6 have condensed the video into a 60-second clip and obviously skewed it to show Faux’s bias. The “documentary pretends really hard that it’s not full of stereotypes and insinuations! Couldn’t stomach it Monday evening? We’ve got it for you in a minute.”

Geraldo Rivera took another foul-smelling shit on respectable TV journalism as he broadcast the bloodied corpse of suicide-case supermodel Ruslana Korshunova on Fox News.

His comments on the scene were tabloidtastically awesome as well: “These are the last images of her broken body being lifted off the Manhattan sidewalk, where shocked and sickened witnesses watched her smash onto the concrete.”

All vomit aside, did we really expect anything better from either Geraldo or Fox News?� This is the same mustached loser who disclosed the location of American troops in 2003; supposedly pushed an aide worker aside during the Katrina rescue; and, y’know, that whole Al Capone vault thing.

Swooping in to the rescue came David Clark, executive producer of programming at Fox News, to say, “It was a producer error and we deeply regret it.”� Uh-huh.� No, seriously, we believe you�”error.”� ‘Cause Fox News has never done anything aggressively stupid for ratings.
