I was flipping through the channels to catch the news of who won Indiana. I saw a scroll on the results and decided to stop--unfortunately, it was Fox News.  

Hillary Clinton stacked the deck to secure a primary nomination by Super Tuesday.  The Clinton campaign considered February 5, 2008 as the "end of the campaign".  A deliberate part of that plan involved stripping Michigan of Florida of delegates.  But her plan backfired.  Now we see the crocodile tears and the faux righteous demands to see the Michigan and Florida delegates seated.

Here's the Hillary plan, laid out all nice and neat by grantcart:

The crocodile tears that are now being shed about Florida and Michigan are the latest and most disingenuous of the Clinton campaign. The fact is that the idea of drawing a line in the sand so that you would end up with a de facto national primary was from page one of the Clinton playbook.

Having twenty or thirty states vote on the same day, the theory went, would favor the candidate with the most money, the most experience and the most organizational support with connections with many local governors and mayors already on board.

For just over three minutes on Saturday morning, TV talk show host Montel Williams owned the hosts of Fox and Friends.  A former Marine and Naval officer, Montel lectured the stunned hosts on the stupidity of spending air time on the death of Heath Ledger, rather than covering the war in Iraq.  It was a spectacle rarely seen on live cable television, as Montel exposed and condemned both tabloid "news" shows and much of American culture for what they have each become: shallow and greedy.

Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial.  Montel did not return after the break.  Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job.  Variety reported on Wednesday that the

Fate of "The Montel Williams Show" was sealed when key Fox-owned stations opted not to renew it for the 2008-09 season.

FOX news always comes up with the doozies. Now, I didn't say they had to be real (as in,  factual or accurate) doozies.

From the brilliant! minds at FOX news. Ahem.

The hosts of Fox & Friends are all worked up over a claim in the British press that al Qaeda may be recruiting Caucasian members to infiltrate Western societies.
"Have you heard about this new thing going on in Great Britain," asked host Gretchen Carlson, "[where] Al Qaeda [is] rooting up all these Britons, essentially, 1400 strong, apparently, in a new, what's being called a new 'White al Qaeda Army.' Tougher to detect, potentially ...

Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy--not only being on this list but being in the title!

An excellent theme song for most any newscast or talk show anymore could be Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry." To wit:

"We all know that crap is king,
We need dirty laundry...."

When Fox News first aired back in 1997, little did we news junkies know that 10 years later other newscasts and cable channels would be trying to out-Fox Fox.

I shit you not. The mental midgets of Fox & Friends this morning spent significant time bashing Mr. Rogers for making a generation of kids into pussies. More of the madness below the belt.
