This woman is a complete dropkick. She has nothing constructive to contribute other than sly innuendo. Obviously she will appeal to the redneck right for whom prejudice is the primary point of decision-making rather than logical analysis. Rupert Murdoch has a lot to answer for. As a propaganda machine for the American redneck right Fox News would be at home in the Third Reich, and I am sure that if he was available Josef Goebbels would have fitted right in.
Sarah Palin on Fox is positively bi-partisan compared with shrieking liberal siamese twins Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.
At least Palin doesn’t pretend to be apolitical and unbiased.
“…As a propaganda machine for the American redneck right Fox News would be at home in the Third Reich, and I am sure that if he was available Josef Goebbels would have fitted right in…”
It sounds like you’re reading from a prepared speech. How embarrassing for you.
But you get a triple word-score for invoking “teh Nazi’s”.
Wow surprise surprise, mama waving the flag for Fox News!!!!! Different from your position elsewhere.
She’ll fit right in at Fox.
Reminder that CNN/FOX/MSNBC are all trashy, worthless networks.
“…Wow surprise surprise, mama waving the flag for Fox News!!!!!…”
Why do you often see things that aren’t there?
Get help.
She is an absolute breath of fresh air. Kinda hard for Left wing green necks to listen to straight talk. They prefer ambiguous statements, double standards, innuendo, unrealistic promises, etc. In a word Obamaspeak. Listen to her closely and remember her when Obama is voted out of office after 1 term.
p-ss off Michael, you are living in cuckoo land. If you believe the Fox proclamation FAIR AND BALANCED, and Palin actually adds anything to balanced debate, you also believe Hitler is alive and well and is the doorman at the Tel Aviv Hilton. What was hard to listen to was the lies and arrogance of 8 years of the worst President God put breath into and supported to the hilt by Fox. The Left can listen to serious, honest debate, but not the dregs that come out of Fox by way of its unfair and unbalanced commentators. OReilly is a crook and a bully and many other unspeakables. So to hear the liberal right sticking up for them is no surprise.
Thanks for your contributions, MPM. You have commenced the new year with a dozen or so contributions to Crikey which add nought but your own rabid opinion. At least you are consistent - consistently unsupportably biased to the loony Right. Faux News needs your approbation like a hole in the head, given that we regular readers know your form.
Yes, I know… I am not playing nice, but since when did this ever worry you?
Haha!!11!!one!!!!! Took all of one comment for the probability of a comparison involving nazi’s or Hitler to equal one. Godwins law ftw!!!
It rarely takes any time at all for crazee right wing trolls to mention “Godwin’s Law”. Congratulations, your mum would be proud.
“Straight talk”? Sarah Palin, regardless of her politics, is a narrow-minded ignoramus. As such she’s perfect for the bawlers and howlers on Fox News.
I couldn’t imagine a better place for the Tina Fay lookalike. At least it keeps all the RWDBs safely corralled and quarantined from where they might infect real people.
“…Yes, I know… I am not playing nice, but since when did this ever worry you?…”
Never sweetie…but the laughs you generate are priceless.
Never has Doublespeak been so blatant in the real world as when Fox News refers to its “fair and balanced” reporting. It’s hilarious. I actually watch Fox News reasonably often to see what the right wing nutjobs are thinking. It could all be scripted, it’s that predictable.
The scary part is this: Although CNN’s not exactly stunning, with Amanpour etc the quality of its reporting has improved lately. Could Fox really be winning 5-1 in the ratings at 8pm, as O’Reilly claimed?
