Fox News: Stephen Douglas and Frederick Douglass, What's the Difference?
Lately, Hillary Clinton has been calling for a "Lincoln-Douglas style" debate, in which she and Barack Obama would speak directly to one another without moderators, in response to the Obama campaign's refusal to do any further televised debates.
Of course, the reference is to the famous series of debates held between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas when both men were campaigning for an Illinois senate seat in 1858.
Fox News apparently didn't get the memo.
I suspect a debate between Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln wouldn't be all that exciting.
Douglass: We should abolish slavery.
Lincoln: I dunno.
Douglass: It's the only way to save the Union.
Lincoln: Okay.
And scene.
Update: Oh, I almost forgot. More Fox hilarity here.

Fox is pretty lame - you'd have to be an idiot to take it seriously.
That totally made my day.

Wonder what the IQ requirements are to be employed by FOX news.

This is like "The View," but with less gravitas. And less human dignity.

I was just down in the cafeteria getting a cup of coffee, and Fox news was up on the screen. The ticker was saying that MoveOn.org is attacking John McCain. It went on to state that they had an add stating that he was like George Bush.
LOL, so now even Fox news has come to the conclusion that comparing someone to George Bush is nearly slanderous, or at least constitutes an "attack".

I had the misfortune to watch AM TV today. CNN, Fox, Good Moring America, Today - Frakin' crazy. Car chases, whiners going on about the pice of gas, why lip gloss may cause cancer, sales up at Burger King...
I isn't just Fox, but all news has followed the Murdoch model. These people are morons and that anyone who would watch them are morons.
Like the sayign goes, "No one went broke underestimating he intelligence of the American public"
