Erick Erickson: "We've got Fox News"
From our friends over at Media Matters for America, Erick Erickson at the 2010 CPAC Convention talking about right wing media infrastructure. He basically says out loud here what we already know, which is that Fox is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party. Apparently ClusterFox isn't good enough for Erickson since CNN has made him part of their "best political team on television".


WOW! That's the first time I've heard a winger admit that Faux was in the tank for them.
How will Ailes possibly say that they are "fair & balanced" now? snark
He will be on Fox News to "clarify" his speech as it cannot be said out loud that which is already known.
nail in the coffin--get them together and you can trap them in their arrogant delusion but this time they tell the truth--It is a first!
Proof of the faux bias!
for speaking the name which must not be mentioned.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
This guy admitted what we all know, WOW! How many times in history have that many people been in one room and not even matched the IQ of a typical college graduate. Never have so many meant so little to the world.
Just look at the first frame of this video. The old ladies with their fifty year old hair-dos, that is your teascrotum base. Little old ladies from little country towns across the nation scared of the Big Bad Negroes coming after them. They don't need no help from some Negro who wants to help with their health care. Get your Negro Hands off my health care.
"Real Americans."
I can say that with certainty, after working 20 years in IT. There are far more liberal computer savvy people than on the right. Erick forgets (or probably never thought of) the entire computer industry was started by liberal tree hugging hippies.
DOH! Hey Erick I invite you to come to a DEFCON or Black Hat conference and see how many conservatives you can find. You might want to drop the tie at the door.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
the invisible hand of the MSM moves in mysterious ways.
Speaking of mysterious way and hands, are we sure CNN didn't add Eric to the best political team so that when he touches John King's magic map thingey, at least red state vote totals will appear within five minutes?

Rush Limbaugh and Jerry Falwell?
Is it racist for me to point how these pudgy, pasty white, doughy pantload conservatives all seem to look alike? Guess it comes from all those years of sitting on their fat asses promoting wars for others to fight while dodging combat duty....or any other form of other exercise other than excessive jaw work outs.
Faux Spews might as well be the John Birch/Teabagger/birther newsletter.
The audience looks like a fair cross section of Leisure World. It doesn't look like they are getting many young people (well there is Trig)

is going to be pissed that he didn't mention them.
Wolf will be kissing Erikson's ass again just like he did in this clip at 4:57 mark when Wolf puckers up for Erickson's sphincter calling him a "good guy"

What a pathetic right wing ass kissing idiot. No wonder he got his ass handed to him on Jeopardy.

thinks they are the same. I do.
CNN has become the Jay Leno of political thought. They'd have to be something other than aimless to get angry about that. They're trying to appeal to everyone equally, and the quality of all content is sub-par.
With all it's power and glory, Fox News still couldn't get a Rebub in the white house.
and FOXes cannot gobble critters that big during the primary season.

... has a place for him at BigAssholes.
I do appreciate his honesty. Now will he also admit those people sitting in the audience are delusional?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
and I cared about objectivity.
I would wait until Erickson shows up at the studio and go over to him and yell: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
And have security on stand-by to escort him out.
Erick just gave CNN a huge middle finger with that one little sentence.

A lame Joe Scarborough meme...

Is it all about the bottom line? What group predominately favors corporations?

... predicated on lying to people. Half-truths, mistruths, 'comparable' statistics, illusions of sex appeal and social status.
It says a lot about what we hold to be important and truly value.
So, having given over our responsibilities and choices to a bunch of schmucks looking to profit from our stupidity/gullibility, what else should we expect but to see them taking care of each other?
Either way, I'm not sure shouting it from the rooftop is the way to go...

Faux Noise constantly has to hire uneducated racists, like Fattity and O'Lielly, because they can better relate to their ignorant, uneducated, racist, tea-bag terrorist, listeners.
We've got Fox News. That's like saying "Hey girls look at this growth on my TeaScrotum." It's more like Fox news has you, IdiotBoy". You are Fox's Idiot. Do your little Idiot dance. Hillbillies like when you do your Idiot dance. You're not about information, you're about dis-information. If Fox was a news organization (which they're not) they would look for facts to pass on to the public. They prefer an Idiot doing an Idiot dance.It's more entertaining to the dimwitted. If people want facts there are actual new organizations that provide that service. Now get back to you Idiot dance before the hillbillies get bored.
Fox News has him, and the GOP, by the balls...
Really... when has ONE corporation, like Fox, EVER had so many potential party candidates for POTUS on its payroll, the way Fox has w/ Palin and Huckabee?
It looks like the GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox at this point.
Perhaps it'd be appropriate to point out here that News Corp is also one of the leading pornography producers in the world today...
Whoa... Fox News... the GOP... pornography... the Saudi royal family...
Good Dog... what a toxic stew...
That's exactly what I think, which is much worse than the reverse.
They also are the biggest bunch of insane assholes to be in our country since the civil war. I am sick of these people and their ignorance.
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
Where are the non-white people in the audience? Oh that rights lunch is over and they are in the kitchen.
been able to directly answer Keith Olbermann's question about where the people of color are in their movement. Instead they are aghast that they are being called racist.

who is glued to Fox News is going to be missing a ton of IQ points.

The question is - cause or effect??
Fox News, then the programing takes their IQs further into the sewer...

Agreed. Sad.
Look at the audience , I doubt that they could score 100 points collectively if given an IQ test . Anyone who claims that Fox is unbiased and nonpartisan is either dumb as a box of rocks , totally brainwashed or is just your run of the mill right wing liar .This guy will probably catch hell for stating the obvious , a retraction is already in the works I'm sure .

I always notice their audience too. It's really heartwarming to see such a diverse group of people.
So long as you're white and have an AARP card.
