HAHAHAHA Even Fox News is distancing themselves from McCain -- Label him as a Democrat


Fox News labels McCain a DemocratRAW STORY
Published: Wednesday October 29, 2008

Fox News has delivered a grave insult to presidential nominee John McCain: the conservative cable network has labeled the Arizona Republican a Democrat.

Jed Lewison caught the mistake Tuesday.

Fox News has been reliably boosting McCain's foundering presidential bid throughout the campaign, but the latest slight, while probably a copy editing error, could be more evidence of the network preparing to turn on its nominee. The slip-up follows a segment Tuesday in which anchor Shepard Smith became so incensed with McCain surrogate "Joe the Plumber" he was forced to issue an on-air disclaimer correcting Joe's false attacks on Obama.

1. Fox has made that "copy editing error" far too often
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 01:17 PM by rocknation
for it to have been an accident or the work of a "lower echelon" type. I mean, there ARE twenty-five OTHER letters in the English alphabet...

5. Except anyone who knows what the "D" stands for here

6. I think you're right.
Knowing F** News it's likely that they're trying to protect the Republican brand.

2. Republicans have gone totally insane. Bush is a liberal and McCain is a
Democrat. Pick an identity, folks.

18. No mistake
Faux does this by design. I can't begin to imagine what they think it accomplishes, but it has happened far too many times to be a "mistake."

Has McCain been having phone sex with 16 year old boys too?
