Why It is OK to Call Out FOX News

“We don’t need The Washington Post to cover things anymore,” said staunch conservative Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). “Something can get on a conservative blog, then on Fox News, then it’s everywhere.”

Nevermind that that “something” is more likely than not to be a GOP-generated talking point AND that it is a straight-up lie (President Obama wants to pull the plug on grandma) or it is selectively edited to present a stroy that fits their narrative (ACORN). And the verdict on the traditional media who just picks up and repeats this crap without looking into it is not a good one. It doesn’t speak well for them that the collective case of the vapors that the traditional media came down with once the Administration started stating the obvious was completely MIA when BushCo went to war with the NYT or NBC or decided to exclude national media in favor of locals at on the road events. But here is a nice compilation of the “news” that FOX sees fit to print:
