fox news: you suck! rick sanchez: you lie!

the brad blog explains how cnn's rick sanchez took umbrage (and anything else he could get his hands on) to faux news' contention that cnn and other "lie-beral" networks didn't cover the tea baggers in dc:

after slamming fox by showing clips of cnn's extensive (some might say gratuitous, frankly) coverage, and even a clip showing bill o'reilly on fox discussing the fact that cnn covered the event, sanchez went for the jugular:

here's the facts. we did cover the event. what we didn't do is promote the event.

just like when thousands marched on washington to protest the war in iraq, we covered it as well. probably less than we covered this event. [ed note: no kidding!] but we didn't promote it. ... bottom line is, we do cover the news, and we did extensively cover this event.

we didn't promote the event. that's not what real news organizations are supposed to do. we covered the event. i would invite you to look into that distinction, between those two words: "promote" and "cover".

"cover" is kind of like a fair and balanced way of doing things. ya get it? you might want to look into that.

...
let me address the fox news network now, perhaps the most current way that i can, by quoting someone who recently used a very pithy phrase. two words. that's all i need. "you lie!"

bottom line: fuck faux snooze

Anybody in the know, knows they suck & does not consider it to be a valid news source.

CNN also sucks- and they promoted the TeaBag party crap all summer- following their damn bus and interviewing the Bus and people at the events- as well as last saturday....

CNN was the one that has been legitimizing them as an authentic "movement" even calling them patriotic- and they did not show all the horrible signs...and NO ONE showed the speechs- and they should have- they are on Youtube- the rhetoric is dangerous...

shame on both cnn and fox-
