Can Fox "News" or for that matter any News source be embarrassed into reporting on Republican
Hypocrisy over Stimulus funds? At least 100 Republicans have taken Credit for bringing Stimulus funds to their State when they not only voted against such funding but even today are constantly bad mouthing it...Will Fox "News" ever report this?

2. FUX does not report the news; FUX makes up the news
does that answer your question.

3. Probably not. IF another network would devote significant time to the story, maybe. And by
significant time, I mean hours of video with a repuke Congressional vote against, accompanied by any floor or media speech denouncing the stimulus. Followed directly by video of the puke taking credit for "bringing home the bacon" to the assholes who elected him.

Short of that level of effort, this story, like every other one about rethug hypocrisy and criminality, will be buried very quickly.

4. Rachel Maddow has spent quite a bit of time on this.
Mostly taking a look at Sen. Jim Inhofe (A-OK) who was quoted in the Tulsa World saying complimentary things about the stimulus funds, yet he voted against the stimulus bill and trashed it in Congress.

A hypocrite is the least he is.

At least Rachel has him nervous, he's seeking outside public relations help in countering her honest reporting of his actions.

5. Not enough, by a long shot. I am talking about a full-scale assault ala Fuck Nuze, where they

devote hour after hour, day after day, in prime time and throughput the day, to the story.

Play and replay the videos. Over and over. Hit the pukes with so much that they will be too busy reacting to mount any attacks of their own.

Get to the point where they are complaining that the media is picking on the pukes.

Librul media - where are you?
