rssFox Nation, Where Republicans Can Hang Out and Do Whatever

Jesse Watters, the infamous Fox News producer who’s sometimes dispatched to ambush people who’ve said mean things about Bill O’Reilly, made the rounds of the Values Voter Summit–I watched him interview Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) with some of the friendliest questions I’ve ever heard. At the close of that Cantor interview, Watters asked the second-ranking Republican in the House to say something to his “fans” at Fox Nation. “Keep clickin’ on Fox Nation,” said Cantor.
What was the point of that? It was one of the interviews contained in Watters’ “behind the scenes” look at the summit, which consists of Republicans like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas.), and former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) shouting out to readers of the conservative site.
“FoxNation.com and my fans there,” said Romney, “they’re the best.”
“Fox Nation,” said Bachmann, “you rock!”

Just so long as they don't try to convince anyone that they report actual, real news.
After seeing them trump up their own news, I find it difficult to accept the veracity of their own claims. This is what they do to cast aspersions on a legally and duly elected President.
and they have the balls to call themselves American.

Dave is running around with this Fox Neurosis Syndrome. Get over it, man. Write an article and stop twiddling around about how much you dislike Fox. Sarcasm becomes you well. Take your lithium each morning and you will be fine.

Jeremy,
It isn't about Dave disliking Faux, It's about Faux disliking the TRUTH. When a “news” outfit creates it's own news, their cred is GONE. Faux did just that this weekend. I guess they are no different than the mass media is now, right?
Looks like YOU need the lithium, pal.

This documents a confusing relationship. Which is the pimp, and which is the whore?

The Repubs whine, piss and moan about lack of coverage of their ridiculous events, then do this.
The “values” they speak of come right out of the fear that was rampant during the dark ages. Yes, the dark ages. THAT is where these neanderthals want to take this country.
Behind the curve, as always.

FOX News is fair and balanced unlike CNN & MSNBC which are both tools for The Great Usurper.
