Published Jul. 2, 2008
Faux News (yeah, I never get tired of that) retaliates to an unfriendly article?

On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.
After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.
Watch for yourself!

Fair and balanced, as usual.

Foxnews has started to diverge from its previous standards and this (if true) is an example of it.
Still, they are far less biased than the rest of them. Sadly, even this doesn't change that fact.

Love them democrats who can't help themselves when they get frustrated they have to call you names. So now I'm a fool because I don't think like you. Got to love them Dem's. They never change. But they better get ready because change is coming.......I just hope it's the change we're all looking for.......
