Fox News Isn't Even Trying Anymore
Maybe the Republican Party's struggles are driving Fox News employees to hit the bottle. Because there's no other explanation for this video clip. Make sure to watch the second half, which is arguably worse than the first.
What I love about this is that, while it's conceivable that the Fox News producers mixed their clips up, the host and his guest plow on through like there isn't a problem. Like they aren't literally creating attacks out of thin air.
(H/T Ben Smith, who doesn't need the traffic)
This video really made me laugh even though it's really not funny if you think about what he's saying. Keep up the good work!
I always thought Fox news was stupid, but this takes it to a whole other level.
Skewered!
It remains to be seen if the "fact" that Obama is a plagiarist doesn't become an article of faith for the right-wingers who will cite this Fox News "exposé" as proof without having ever seen it.
The critic in this clip is missing the point. Fox isn't appealing to the rational side of its viewers (which is admittedly in short supply) but is trying to make the plagiarist label stick to Obama. Remember how Gore got stuck with the exaggerator label? And Saddam Hussein with complicity in 9/11? And Bush with moral clarity?

"A lie told often enough becomes truth" Lenin
Fox IS the Right Wing's PROPAGANDA NETWORK. Whatever is said on Fox is not necessarily fact, only intended to appear as fact with hope that a wide majority of people will be toooooo tired from working to check the facts, and will emotionally accept whatever is said on Fox as fact. And it is the same with the military's PENTAGON NETWORK.
Propaganda is two-choice [binary] emotional rhetoric, and Fox has mastered two-choice emotional rhetoric to the Nth degree.
Lies and 1/2 truths are a part of Fox's emotional rhetoric.
It's a clear cut attack on the main slogan of Obama's campaign. "Change". If this accusation sticks, it will makes the "Change" ridiculous. If this sticks, his campaign is doomed. How is it possible to trust a plagiarist when he is talking about change ? The job making this accusation looks true is a purely emotional one as Z and MarthaA noted. Repeating this often enough will make it a truth.
