A Fox "News" report bogus??? I am SHOCKED I tell you. Shocked and appalled. What in tarnation is going on?

When can we expect a retraction?

I was subjected (unwillingly) to several weeks of FNC earlier this summer. This does not surprise me at all. There is next to no real journalism being done there. It's all opinion and propaganda. The only news you hear about Iraq is happy little fluff pieces like this one.

You will NEVER hear that any soldiers died in Iraq, ever. You hear constantly about Obama's flip-flopping but not a single word about McCain's constant flippery-floppery, not even a comparison with Obama. They don't mention Hillary all that much lately since she bowed out of the primary, and you can tell they are fishing about for a new fallback for the 2 Minutes' Hate when they can't find anything original on a particular day.

It's one thing to talk about how FNC sucks, but when you actually sit down and watch it... it's sooooo depressing. I am forced to hide my contempt for people who allow themselves to be programmed with this shit, since close family members and a very good client watch this crap constantly.

It's a Potemkin KFC!

I believe Fox may now practicing journalism by chain email. Last week my father told me that Pelosi wants to tax 401K accounts and other retirement accounts. I argued that I did not believe that and was told he heard it on Fox. I checked snopes and this Pelosi lie has been circulating in email since about 2005.

Maybe the KFC story is also an email legend.

Sometimes I spark up a J when there is just Too much stress. It calms me down very pronto. And then I often get hungry for tasty KFC, and i also like the biscuits. Friends say there's bunches of stress in Iraq. It's very stressful there. Violence and bombs and everything. So maybe the people in Iraq also try to calm down by smoking some herb. And when they do, well, they get hungry for KFC. And since there is no real KFC, they set up this totally spurious KFC. Getting high is the mother of invention, I read that somewhere. But I do not think that Fox News realized that this was just a high Iraqi fakey version of the real KFC. I think the people at Fox News should smoke more often, it would help calm them down.

Iirc, besides the oil sector, one of the few laws that were passed by the Bremer regime were WIPO laws regarding the universal sanctity of intellectual property and copyrights. Therefore, the KFC Corporation should sue the living hell out of these Iraqi freeloaders.

This is not the first time that a story with a source of a military public information officer, turns out to be bogus! The politicization of the military needs to be looked into. Just like the other branches of the executive office, it has been corrupted to push the agenda of a single party or in this case a small group of idealogues that are desperate to justify their actions. Planted lies are wrong no matter what the source.

BTW,
I decided to check out that story about "kind" FBI agents bringing McDonalds french fries into GITMO prisoners.

I called McDonalds HQ and the young woman very patiently searched her datbase for any locations on GITMO. We used every spelling and combination we could think of and came up dry.

I can only guess that fries brought in from Miami were no great treat.

Only FOX and its viewers would think a KFC in Iraq (or anywhere) is a sign of progress. Quizno's, on the other hand - now yer talkin'.

Good to see that the stellar Fact Checking Standards at Fux News is working perfectly!

The only thing worse than Fux News are the people who watch Fux News.
