Too bad Republicans don't get Irony.

I fail to see any irony with what you have posted. I can see no worry either after
digging all the details out.

Fox News draws strong ratings thanks to all the lefties who are tuning in. I can't recall the last time I watched it or pulled up the website.

That looks to me like the president is being questioned on the page. I do get irony, however, I don't get your point.

change the channel if you don't agree with it...

Is this an automatic feature straight from Karl Rove?

Fox News: “Iraq Civil War: Made Up By The Media?”

Fox News continues it’s crackerjack analysis of sectarian strife in Iraq. Previously, it explored whether “an all-out civil war in Iraq” could be “a good thing.”

March 1, 2006 -- THE reporting out of Baghdad continues to be hysterical and dishonest. There is no civil war in the streets. None. Period.

...snip...

Yes, there were bombings yesterday. The terrorists won't give up on their dream of sectional strife, and know they can count on allies in the media as long as they keep the images of carnage coming. They'll keep on bombing. But Baghdad isn't London during the Blitz, and certainly not New York on 9/11.

It's more like a city suffering a minor, but deadly epidemic. As in an epidemic, no one knows who will be stricken. Rich or poor, soldier or civilian, Iraqi or foreigner. But life goes on. No one's fleeing the Black Death — or the plague of terror.

...snip...

You are being lied to. By elements in the media determined that Iraq must fail. Just give 'em the Bronx cheer.

News is a commodity. Just like a loaf of bread. Some better than others and
some with an agenda. It is up to the consumer to go where they want to
purchase it and what brand. Many newspapers, some years ago, would brag about
being the voice of whatever party. I for one, at one time, thought Walter Cronkite
was the best, then it finally dawned on me he too had an agenda. I even like
Peter Jennings, the Canadian, but he too had an agenda. I moved on and now
do listen to Fox. Yeah, they cater to some, but I think are the most impartial in
reporting. As I have said before, most reporters are carried away with their
importance and arrogant in the demeanor and really not too well educated, but
opinionated (look who is calling who opinionated) but like one thread humor me.
Although some were good drinking buddies and got fired because they disagreed
with new management, E-N, is a good example when they got taken over by
Hearst. Hell, they even stopped some of the funnies I liked. Yeah I read them
too. So what!
