Faux Nooze, Zombie Nixon’s wet dream

“Pundits making false comparisons between Obama and Nixon have no idea what they're talking about.” - Joe Conason.

Former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan: ‘Fox Nooze a bunch of imbeciles’

BUCHANAN: “It is the most idiotic comparison I’ve ever seen. Barack Obama won 95 percent of Washington DC, he comes in with both houses Congress behind him, the media love him, the country loves him. Nixon came in with both houses of Congress against him, he probably got 8 percent of the vote in Washington DC, the media loathed him. … I don’t see any comparison between Obama and Nixon whatsoever. … [T]here’s no comparison. Barack Obama’s got enormous press support, he’s got problems with Fox News but for heaven’s sakes there is no comparison here.”

“I also have to laugh,” liberal talk radio host Bill Press said during the segment. “When Republicans want to hurt a Democrat, what do they do? They compare him to another Republican. It’s crazy.”
Maybe that’s what they mean by ‘fair and balanced’.
