UPDATE: Seems a correspondent on another FOX News channel<\/a> made the same basic mistake. Coincidence? (I hope so.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Seriously, I should probably be writing on something else, but this has really pissed me off. How horrible and ridiculous can FOX News get. You can see in the screenshot above that FOX News’ coverage of Osama Bin Laden’s death entailed switching up ‘Osama’ for ‘Obama’ — clever, eh? If you’re in fourth grade and have no sense for what is important in this world.<\/p>\n

You know that they knew what they were doing. You know that they put that on the screen and thought it was funny or would serve some devious, horrible purpose (i.e. do whatever you can to turn every news story into a ridiculous circus show aimed at bringing Obama down).<\/p>\n

FOX News is a disgrace to the American people, to all who are interested in progress and leadership that will pull us out of an era in which we are polluting our own water and air.<\/p>\n

They can’t even report on a ‘success’ that they are no doubt gleeful about without screwing things up. How can anyone expect them to report on important domestic issues like clean energy, life-threatening climate change, and the economy? They have no interest in truth, it seems. Their interest is in playing with the minds and beliefs of the American public in order to discredit a president and political party their management is opposed to and they are opposed to for purely ideological or racist reasons.<\/p>\n

Yes, “Obama Bin Laden is Dead” has ticked me off. Not at all because I think Obama is some saint or faultless — I have a WHOLE LOT of criticism for Obama in me. But the ridiculousness of FOX News, how disgracefully low it is willing to stoop, and it’s attack on the American public is something that should piss off this whole country, including its viewers, who probably genuinely want useful information delivered to them.<\/p>\n

Anyway,.. morning ramblings on our broken corporate media.<\/p>\n
