Fox News Goes To Bat For Palin Over Her Hand Notes
It’s been less than a month since Sarah Palin joined Fox News and she has already gotten egg on her face thanks to the crib notes on her hand she was caught with on Saturday during a Q&A session after her Tea Party Convention speech. Predictably, Fox News went all out to defend her yesterday (2/8/10). Sadly, even the Democrats pulled their punches. But the fact that there was not a coherent message – which seems to be a specialty of the right – suggests that the incident was more damaging than anyone at the "we report, you decide" network wanted to let on. The question is, how many more “get out of jail free” passes will Palin get at Fox? With video.

Guest blogged by Aria
\Glenn Beck must be a really slow learner. Case in point: on Thursday, February 4th, 2010, Beck said this about President Obama on his radio show: “He chose to use his name, Barack, for a reason.

Cavuto acknowledged to his guest, Douglas Brinkley, presidential historian, that Obama might have “a legitimate case” for “play(ing) the blame game.” But then Cavuto immediately added, ”I just don't think it sounds Presidential."

Oliver North appeared on Hannity last night (2/4/10) and blasted President Obama’s efforts to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Predictably, North didn’t just oppose the repeal, he used the issue to smear Obama with the now-familiar Fox News taglines: He’s a “radical” who’s endangering our national security. There was no guest to balance North. Nor did Hannity or the Fox News producers think it necessary to report that the majority of Americans and the majority of servicemembers now favor repeal. With video.
