New name for Fox

[tomfodw]

After Photoshopping the picture of Kerry with Bush to make the Smirk look as tall as Kerry, and after Carl Cameron's despicable false Kerry quotes on the Fox website today, we should all start calling it the Fakes News Channel.

1. Good idea.

3. Thanks. To be honest, I'm amazed...

this isn't getting more play.

Yes it was a joke gone bad (not that I think it was an accident), and it was not about anything serious. But unlike Rather and the Killian memos, this was deliberate, by a reporter whose objectivity has been questioned for 4 years. The Kerry campaign should be quietly insisting that Fox assign someone else to travel with them; and, if that doesn't work, they should go public. God knows if anyone covering Bush were caught faking quotes, the Republicans would not quit until that person had to find a new profession. Why do the Democrats always roll over?

And the rest of the press should really be outraged. CBS should be all over this.

2. It's Faux, and that's final ;)

[tomfodw]

4. Aw, come on.

Fakes News sounds even better because it's an active description of what they're doing.

Besides, Faux News is French. This will play better with real Americans. ;)

10. We have been calling it that for years now except we spell it Faux

We distort we decide.

[tomfodw]

12. I know

But I think in light of today's revelations, calling the Fakes News Channel gets the idea across even better because today that's actually what they did: literally, deliberately, and actively fake quotes from Kerry and fake a photo.

Hey, it's just bit of light entertainment. Call 'em whatever you want.

14. Fake or Faux

I still refuse to watch those lying SOB's.

[Nevernose]

15. Faux is exceptionally clever

Of course, that probably doesn't count much with people who actually watch it, who wouldn't know "clever" if it jumped out and bit them on the ass, but that's just my opinion...

17. Your photo of Dylan, Clinton andWill Smith is the perfect Democratic state

ment. A black, a President from the south and a Jewish Poet,rock star and War protester. I love it.

[Nevernose]

18. Kinky Friedman, actually

But close enough -- and the "Jewish Poet,rock star and War protester" part holds up no matter what you call him.

16. Faux is French for fake. It's perfect.

19. faux

I'd have to agree with Eikon ~~ :bounce: "Faux" is just so appropriate! ;)
