When Fox News starts to question your "facts", you know you're in deep shit, and you can narrow it down to one of two things:
- You're a liberal boogeyman (Jeremiah Wright, Ward Churchill, Janeane Garofalo, et al);
- You're dumber than wallpaper, and Rupert Murdoch is fucking scared.

Sarah Palin is now officially too stupid for Fox News. Let that sink in.
Sarah Palin's public pronouncements have now reached an amazing point -- where even Fox News is fact-checking her.
What on Earth would cause Fox "News" to fact-check someone, you ask? I mean, aside from being really scared and shit, which happens to be their charter. Well, maybe something like this:
Palin said this past Friday that there had been a lot of "change" of late, and talked about the dollar coin -- how the phrase "In God We Trust" had been moved to the rim of the coin, rather than on the face. "Who makes a decision like that?" said Palin, seemingly pointing to the Obama administration, adding: "It's a disturbing trend."
A disturbing trend indeed. A disturbing trend toward scaring the piss out of Rupert Murdoch:
However, the coins were in fact commissioned in 2005 by the Republican-led government of the time...Congress acted specifically to change this in 2007, and Fox displayed a James K. Polk presidential coin with the phrase on the coin's face.
Rupe, babe...bubeleh. You hitched your wagon to an unpopular, shallow, extremist secessionist idiot, did you? Maybe that's why you're doubling down on your claim that Glenn Beck is "right", and Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
Hey, I understand. When you're all in, it's tough to back down. But perhaps you're starting to regret the whole association with Palin? Maybe just a little bit? Your network doesn't "fact-check" shit, unless some B-list celeb says something guaranteed to piss off angry old white men (i.e., your demographic). So why the sudden rush to correct Sarah Palin? Accompanied by your accusation that President Obama is a racist? You're not nervous, are you?
Too late to back out now, Rupert. You own it.
Here's the astonishing sight of Fox "News" fact-checking Sarah Palin:
