Fox News lets the mask slip once again
This is not a Romney campaign ad. Not technically anyway.
It is a video produced by the Fox News Channel as a news product, a “fair and balanced” review of the Obama presidency to date. It was broadcast on the channel this morning.
Twice.
Since then, it has become such an embarrassment that Fox has made it vanish from its website.
UPDATE: The Fox PR folks emailed, asking that the following response be posted:
“The package that aired on FOX & Friends was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network. This has been addressed with the show’s producers.”
–Bill Shine, Executive Vice President of Programming, FOX News Channel
– Jay Bookman

williebkind: Yes, that’s what I said. Surely you understand how stupid such logic is.

Adam:
“other forces MUST have somehow made that happen, and that if prices go up that means Obama has somehow gotten control again. Convenient logic, that.”
No it is simple logic when you have a POTUS aligned with progressive groups that have an agenda to destroy oil and coal energy sources. Obama was a mistake. We made history with his election and now it is time to forget that and get this incompetent affirmative action Harvard grad out of office.
I'm a liberal and believe everything I read and nothing the other side comes up with...cause we're smart and they are not

The focus is not on the truth, it is on the end result.
Romney along the the rest of the roster of Republicans primary candidates have built their whole campaign on the economy. In doing so they have branded it for Obama, the failed economy like planting a murder weapon on his person and accusing him of the murder. Now the dead body walks into the room giving some indication that there was never a murder in the first place. The Republican continue, ” there must be a murder he has the murder weapon on him”, never once letting go of their false assumptions in the discussion. These Republicans are never wrong which in itself is a impossible assumption.
The gas prices are not controlled by the president, but the Republicans are betting the house on the fate of the economy and gas going down is bad new to them.

Then how do you explain the consistent rise in gas prices under a President that was all about oil and gas companies?
Really, your argument makes no sense. You claim Obama is responsible for gas prices ONLY WHEN THEY RISE. Otherwise, he’s not. This is what you’re ACTUALLY arguing. It isn’t even logically sound.

Except for those pathethic individuals in the “follower” class of truly delusional people incapable of thinking for themselves, this ends any pretense that Fox is “fair and balanced”.

Over 500 comments are too many to read, let alone think about. I’m starting to like the suggestion some websites are pushing that commenters must use their real names or not be posted. I’m betting we would lose 90% from the AJC. They wouldn’t want their stupidity made public.

Hastn’t Jay Bookman appeared on MSNBC? I wonder if he wrote a blog about the following?
