I'M SHOCKED, SHOCKED TO FIND GAMBLING IS GOING ON IN HERE!


Rupert Murdoch's recent statement that Fox news should not and as far as he knows is not supporting any political party including the Tea Party must be news to everyone who works at fixed news.

His protestations reminded me of those of Louie of Casablanca fame who when told by the Nazis that he was to find an excuse to close Rick's American Cafe proclaimed I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here just as he is being handed his winnings from his time at Rick's tables.

Anyone who has even a passing familiarity with fixed news over the last 6 months knows what a blatent lie Mr. Murdoch is guilty of all while raking in big profits. Profits earned at the expense of objective truth and the national good. Indeed, would the Tea Party be where it was today if not for fixed news' 24/7 promotion of its events and ideas.

If I ruled the world Fixed News would be required to show a health warning at the top of the screen similar to the Surgeon General's warning on cigarettes.

To paraphrase Shakespear, Me thinks Mr. Murdoch doth protest too much. I wonder how long Murdoch's investigation is going to take? I suspect it will be like waiting for Godot.

For the objective truth take a look at Media Matters on the subject:
