Faux Nooze: Wholly without merit
"Fox News is an oxymoron, and Cheech and Chong would have made a more credible team of war correspondents than Geraldo Rivera and Ollie North. Neither Saturday Night Live nor the 1976 film Network could even approach the comic impact of Geraldo embedded, or of Fox's pariah parade, its mothball fleet of experts who always turn out to be disgraced or indicted Republican refugees."
Fox slants the news "for the Bush administration as faithfully as if they were on the White House payroll. Fox serves - voluntarily - as the propaganda arm of a controversial, manipulative, image-obsessed government. I swear I hate to stoop to Nazi analogies; but if Joseph Goebbels had run his own cable channel, it would have been indistinguishable from Fox News."
- - columnist Hal Crowther.
BTW, Fox News dropped its lawsuit against Al Franken on Monday, three days after they were laughed out of court.
