Fox News Says Healthcare Reform is the Beginning of Armageddon

Image

Healthcare reform will pass. It's not perfect, but it is better than nothing and almost universally a good thing. Unless you're Fox News, in which case it's the end of the world. We're watching their apocalyptic coverage, mystified.

Fox has been peddling false information and bad journalism throughout the debate. They've been deliberately misinforming their viewers by featuring, and skewing towards, poorly-researched and ideologically motivated Republican talking points. Today's coverage hit all the buttons — the emphasizing of protests, sad, resigned GOP-ers talking about rationed healthcare, the use of quotation marks in captions (it's a healthcare "fix" according to Fox), and the posing of ridiculously provocative questions "what is the TRUE cost of this bill — we report, you decide." Even the New York Post — owned, like Fox, by Rupert Murdoch — is condemning them. Which is maybe the lowest moral high ground to be looked down at from.

We'll be updating this as and when the crazy happens.

    • *groaning* I cannot hit myself hard enough. Why did I watch all that? I'll pay someone to come over here and strangle me to death. My IQ dropped soo much, I don't want to live anymore... My face will be twitching for the rest of my life. How do you have an interview with Palin that lasts 6 minutes? *sobbing*
      I don't understand...

    • Sly like a fox, FOX media (I can't call it news) The epitomy of the GOP in the use of Myths, Lies, and disinformation to the masses for political gain. Never before has a so called news organization ever been so blatent in their support of fringe groups like FOX and the tea baggers. Pretty soon FOX will be calling gays faggots and blacks niggers. Just like the tea baggers who did just that at their so called rally against healthcare reform. Its really to bad about ten thousand brothers didn't come out in Washington D.C. that same day and confront these racist pigs. I am quite sure tea baggers would have run back to their hotel rooms if they saw ten thousand black people marching straight at them. Cowards of the highest magnitude tea bag this a holes

      Athough Hank McCoy can even read hanging upside down and most likely understood the whole bill, it is misleading to say that he's not a politician since he was Secretary of Mutant Affairs in the U.S. Government and Ambassador to the U.N.

      So I doubt he would make a gross generalization that HCR was the beginning of Armageddon because the X-Men have seen that several times and prevented it so the Beast knows better than Fox News what it looks like and that isn't it.

      It was in response to JJ doing a poor impersonation of one the X-Men.

      "So you didn't read it and yet you state it's good for everyone. Why would you state that? Are you taking talking points from those you just hope are right? I trust Beast. He wouldn't lie to me. He's not a politician like those you trust."

      Hank McCoy was a genius and wouldn't have fallen for any of that propaganda that Fox or JJ was trying to shovel.

    • I wonder if Rupert Murdoch offers health care insurance to his employees?
      If he does he is subject to the same increases in premiums as everyone else. He should pass on onehundred percent of the increases to the moron employees at Faux information, they are not news. That would be a dishonest evaluation of who they are. A disinformation organization bent on rallying the dumb people to work against their own interest.

    • I'm sure they know this because Jesus told them. Fox News has a direct line to "the man upstairs", except they call him Rupert and he's really wealthy. Ignore that part of the Bible where they say it will be impossible for a rich man to make it into heaven. A liberal added that at the last minute, so it doesn't count. The Bible isn't really what makes you Christian anyway, it's your political affiliation that really matters. Jesus specifically taught us to ignore the needs of the unfortunate and profit from their pain and death. Now Jesus is mad and that can mean only one thing.... APOCALYPSE!!!! Stay tuned to FOX for more updates after this commercial break.

    • Holy shit, watch the O'Reilly - Sarah Palin video on the link. It reminds me of a child in grade school doing a presentation and the teacher helping them along, giving them suggestions on what to say. Hilarious.

    • I wish it was the end of the willful ignorance and hate they exude and the end of the idea that they are worth listening too .

    • Armageddon, Socialism, Communism, blah blah blah....all they are going to end up doing by beating that drum so incessantly is to render their rhetoric irrelevant. Let them keep it up and see what they will get.

      Now they have a Waterloo on their hands.

      even adrenaline junkies build up a tolerance after a while and get desensitized when they cry wolf too much by exaggerating everything to a crisis of biblical proportions eventually they'll be calling the changing of the seasons armageddon also

    • Instead of watching those videos, I think I'll wait eagerly for the next Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Infomania. This should be fun.
