1. Danm! No mincing of words there! We need MORE of this kind of "straight talk"!

[abq e streeter]

5. slight( but only slight) disagreement with you about "no mincing of words"

She still, in her position, can't just come out and say they're liars, racists, hypocrites, hate and fear-mongers etc, but it's sure as hell a huge step in the right direction to even say this much publicly. I think it's the "Grayson effect"... like one kid who finally had the guts to dive into the pool, and shouted back that "the water's fine" and more and more of the other kids are now at the very least dipping their toes in to see if it's true. Let's all hope this trend continues and grows.:fistbump:

DOCTRINE if we want to have well informed citizens

7. synchronicity--I thought of the term :Grayson effect" and posted it, while you were posting this

did you come up with that graphic? Whoever did, I love it.:fistbump:

[Sky Masterson]

9. I made it less than 30 minutes ago

I think this term needs to catch on.. (awesome fist bump smiley) Woot!!

[abq e streeter]

13. would you mind if I copied this and email it to a few friends?

if not, I certainly understand. I think it's so good and professional looking, that I completely understand if you want to copyright it and control its distribution.

[Sky Masterson]

15. I would be honored

If anyone else wants to use it feel free.

19. Speaking of Fox News--watch this old but good clip again

[vaberella]

23. Great video. around 6:25..I thought Clinton looked a lot like Ted Kennedy. n/t

[underpants]

24. I hadn't seen that in a few years. Bill ripped him apart

Clarke's book is a must read

[GivePeaceAchance]

20. Really called them out there, even if MSNBC does lean left they still call out ...

Democrats and Republicans alike.

[vaberella]

22. sorry...my response wasn't for you. n/t

[bertman]

21. I'm delighted that someone from the administration has finally said this. The first two

minutes of this interview were too much for me. She sounded lost and couldn't put her thoughts together. She must have said "ya know" ten times in 30 seconds.

I'm glad she came on strong at the end. Wish I could have hung in to hear it.

[Hutzpa]

38. "ya know"

I hate people like you who tend to nit-pick on people.

[lib_wit_it]

25. K & R

[Emit]

26. Here's a longer version of the clip

This CNN "Howie" guy is kind of an ass - interrupting her and pressing her as to whether the problem is that they (Fox) are reporting information that is 'not to the liking of the administration.'

He sounds more like he should be working for Fox News.

27. Fox masquerades as a legitimate news organization ONLY to manipulate the news & their bullshit polls

solely to benefit the republican party ideology.

Anyone who hasn't known this fact for at least 10 years is either in complete denial or are consummate idiots - As most in the media and the democratic party are....

The slimy fucking republicans know this & use (Fox news) as a tool, to their advantage by pretending it's a real news organization yet in reality it's ALL bullshit putting out slanted lies and omitted certain news stories along with their unbelievable bullshit polls that are so obviously full of shit it's amazing the rest of media and the democratic party even pays attention to them...

Yet the media & Dems do even though the only reason Fox news chief neocon republican Roger Alias functions are day to day, are to benefit his own republican party and to trash all democrats, as well as democratic ideology, policy, philosophy and agenda....

Fox news, like the republican party & the pigman Limbaugh solitary reason to exists is to increase the profits & power of the corporations over the people...That's it. Nothing more (or less)!

[AsahinaKimi]

28. So, will Fox News and the Republicans demand an apology...again?

hahah..they are so pathetic !

[hay rick]

29. "but let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

And Dunn is setting the bar for what it takes to be considered a news network really, really low.

[liberal N proud]

31. CNN is a news network?

I realize they are not FAUX but they are still far from NEWS.

[FrenchieCat]

34. No, CNN is not a news network....they just fake it better....

She'll figure that out soon, if she hasn't already.

[Unicron1978]

32. FUCKING NAILED THEM!!!HAHAHAHAH

[HDPaulG]

33. CNN...

Is becoming less of a 'news' network and more like faux

[Hutzpa]

36. "Lets not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is"

ouch!!

About time time....take the fight to them.


:applause: :applause:

[Towlie]

40. Right! CNN occasionally lashes out at Fox News, but only when they specifically offend CNN.

[Towlie]

39. She didn't really answer his initial question.

Her answer was excellent to be sure, and the part where she caught him on his two-part question must have been embarrassing to him, but she did miss an opportunity. His initial question began,

You were quoted in Time Magazine as saying of Fox News, "It's opinion journalism masquerading as news."

Notice that he did not then ask,

"What do you mean, "opinion journalism?"

What he did ask was,

What do you mean, "masquerading?"

That's a question I might ask myself, so as to imply that "they don't really try very hard to hide it, do they?"

At that point I think she should have begun by treating the "opinion journalism" aspect as mutually obvious and then offered examples of masquerading, such as how Fox attempts to deceive its viewers with slogans like "Fair and balanced" and "We report, you decide". Then she could have continued with her examples of how Fox News delivers "opinion journalism."

(Actually, I think the term "right-wing propaganda" would have been much more to the point.)

[rhett o rick]

41. So is CBS. nt
