Lower than Limbaugh

First it was Obama the party animal (call me!) then it was Obama who sounds like Osama, then it was Obama Hussein who sounds like you know who and now it's Obama the sex offender. I'm sure you know the name Fox News can't be far behind.

Wild and malicious hyperbole, bizarre associations and preposterous lies - these are the life blood of Fox and when it comes to values, ethics or any restraint of viciousness or commitment to honesty, they have proved again and again that there is no bottom.

The latest terrorist attack in Rupert Murdoch's war on America was run on Saturday by Twin Cities Fox affiliate KMSP, and it consisted of a clip of a Barak Obama rally run during a story about the sentencing of a child molester. I would be inclined to accept the apology of KMSP's News Director Bill Dallman if it weren't for the constant flow of such "unfortunate incidents" emanating from that motherload of malicious mendacity: Fox News.
