This morning, Megyn Kelly roadblocked several of Bounds' attempts at glib explanations, ordering Bounds to "stay on point," relating that "every independent analyst who took a look at" McCain's contention that Obama would be raising taxes on the middle class noted that "that's not true," suggesting that McCain "level with the American people," and even providing pushback on the McCain camp's misleading contentions on an age-appropriate sex-education bill that Obama voted for in the Illinois State Senate.
"I looked at the language of the bill," Kelly stated, "Age appropriate sex education about child predators and inappropriate touching. What is wrong with that?"

Just read this over the net-
Whats the difference between a pit-bull with lipstick and the hockey mom, Sarah Palin?
The pit-bull has better parenting skills!
That about sums it up for Plain- have you see the pictures of her underage kid over the Internet!
Holy crap!Alcohol- underage drinking, guns-brandishing magnum pistol, shotguns!
Gotta love those conservative family values!
When I was a kid I was "crazed too" but I was smart enough not to let such pictures get out!

I still think Fox and Rupert Murdoch are the #1 enemies of journalism.
Check out Robert Greenwald's Outfoxed and keep tabs on crooked media through the links.
pssssst...... Do Something!

I think Megyn Kelly did this at the Republican Convention, she likes getting the facts.
Finally Fox does something right, but then again they have done that in the past and gone back to their own ways.
Least there is hope...

How can Tucker Bounds make a comparison between an idealistic goal of Obama with a direct, said proposal of McCain's? Parting the seas and clearing the skies, i.e. trying to promise hope for a better future, is not the same as clearly saying you will do something when you will not.

That "tool" better hope for a miracle. Tucker is going to have a hard time finding work when McCain loses. Maybe he could be a court reporter, he is excellent at listening and regurgitating everything word for word, over and over.

This may be a new ruse to legitimize the network's shady grasp of journalistic integrity.
Here's how. Have an attractive female (briefly) roast a particularly inept McCainite mudslinger.
This insures that sites like Current, and Huffpo and so on, will pick up the feed and post it online.
But by the middle of her interview suddenly she stops hammering the lies and the liar - and plays nice.
This results in two agendas
1/ the Librul blogs posting the FOX feed, half of which is real, the other half is passive acceptance. That way FOX gets more people interested - "Look Martha! It's amazing! They let some humans work at FOX!"
2/ But the second message is - they still get to show a 'serious' critic - caving while the mudsling goes on and on and on....

I can't believe FOX is finally nailing the McCain campaign on their lies, and not protecting their own kind. Their ratings must have really taken a hit when they became so clearly one-sided and alienated half their viewers. When are they going to get rid of Tucker Bounds. And Nancy Pfefen-whatever (the blond chick that smiles with lipgloss).

They are actually just positioning themselves to call another election. They gotta get the fair and balanced right.

I don't believe FOX is doing anything different than trying to expand their base.

Tucker Bounds looks like a kid who hasn't studied for his test...Campbell Brown ripped him on CNN...now Megyn Kelly blasts him on Fox...Wait until he goes on Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC...Chris won't let him get away with it...just like he called out conservative radio host Kevin James for not knowing who Chamberlain was...

Here's a hypothetical.
If you were Russia or China who would you want to see as the next President?
McCain. Why?
Many nations have seen Bush policy up close and recognize that it is untenable – for them.
Several former enemies have started cutting the most unusual deals in history. Russia and Turkey are working out their own mutual security arragements. . Russia has offered to buy ALL of Azerbaijan's natural gas at Retail not Wholesale price. Dick Cheney couldn't match the deal. And left fuming.
Seven former soviet states and Russia are linking up. The threat to damage Russia for Georgia is dematerializing. No one wants in.
The Asian Security Sphere is expanding. Vietnam and Venezuela are co-partnering to develop Vietnam's oil deposits. No interest in the US for that oil? Or no interest for including America in that deal?
Lots of oil producing countries like Iran, Norway and Venezuela either are starting their own trading bourses or refusing to deal in US currency – because the greenback no longer is trusted, there is too much instability in being trillions in the debt hole with no way out, nor can the fiduciary sanity of the administration that endlessly keeps printing it to win elections be ignored..
Think back to Obama's visit to Europe, his popularity and acclaim in Europe and Asia. The confidence and renewed faith globally he arouses in a reborn America..
Polls worldwide indicate that Obama is the one President that other governments would trust at his word. The UK's Gordon Brown first said he thought Barack the best candidate then had to backtrack.
The President who can restore trust in America begins to reverse the flight of capital – and degradation of currency value – from day 1..
So as long as Bush policies are continued by McCain – and no one doubts they will be – the US is increasingly more isolated and cut off from the action. And a Palin Presidency?
Your turn...
