This topic has the potential to be a great RW article...anyone interested in tackling it?--PalMD-Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice! 06:53, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

Can't edit right now

My radio man is reading the names of soldiers... who died... in Iraq. humanbe in 03:28, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

Hilarious

I clicked the link to Conservpedia's Fox News link, and I'll say this: It was the one of the funniest fucking things I have ever read. Trying to defend Fox News of being "unbiased" is like trying to make Ron Paul the Republican nominee for president.

Fucking Fox

I LOVE schadenfreude, and Fox is giving me all I can take. They hate Huckabee so much. They might pander to the Christian Right, but only so long as someone might be able win the power that they need to keep their wallets fat. FUCK THEM! --Edgerunner76 22:25, 3 January 2008 (EST)

Fox goes to court for the 'right to lie'

This external link is broken. Do we assume that Fox litigation stamped out the story, whatever it was? weaseLOIdWeaselly.jpg~ 11:55, 10 November 2008 (EST)

They really have done this!(Citation?)

Under the "Proggramming" section, while listing ways to avoid damaging news, one thing on the list is: "When all of the above fail, just go ahead and change the party affiliation (from R to D) of the person who's in trouble.[2]". When you click the [2], all the citation says is "They really have done this!". Now, I don't like Fox, but I figure that it makes more sense to support a claim of some outright and blatant bias. If anyone could provide a credible link to this, it would certainly help. (I will look it up, but I would prefer whoever made the claim to provide some source). --Passerby25 20:23, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Might want to search the Daily Show site, they featured it. Not sure, but it might have been Larry Craig. Or that Senator from Alaska? ħumanUser talk:Human 20:49, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
I found a couple of articles, one talking about them switching Specter's Party to Democrat(ic?), and two talking about them leaving out Larry Craig's party. One of them also had a picture of them changing Mark Foley's party affiliation. However, both were from blogs (crooksandliars.com and Mediamatters.com), and, knowing how easily photos can be edited, I would rather have a more reliable source. --Passerby25 21:03, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
Foley rings a bell. It would be nice to have a better source, although I suspect you aren't gonna get the New York Times on this. I actually saw the Daily Show ep where they pointed it out, but it was ages ago. So, um, what were the links to it at C&L and MM? ħumanUser talk:Human 22:13, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
Here is some from C&L [1], [2]. and Media Matters: [3]. Its not that I don't trust those sources, it is just I would prefer to have a more reliable source then a blog or partisan website. (I will look up the Daily Show clip later)--Passerby25 17:40, 27 March 2009 (EDT)
