Fox News - The fix in in

Posted on 08/11/2008 4:57:02 PM PDT by Chucky is a girlie man

So...I come home from work, expecting to see the latest on the investigation into the Edwards cover-up, tax fraud, election and charitable contributions fraud, etc. and turn on Fox News. There was NOTHING on this story...but an ad during every commercial break for the law firm of Baron & Budd.

I think to myself, ""Wow. Has there been a new epidemic of asbestos problems? Why is Fox News running this ad over and over?"

I go to Google and look up Barron and Budd. Ta-da. It's the Dallas, TX, based law firm of Fred Baron, the former National Finance Chair for the Edwards Presidential Campaigns in both 2004 and 2008...and the admitted "money man" funding Rielle Hunter and Andrew Young.

Now Fox News' failure to report on this scandal makes sense. They've been paid off by an advertiser. I guess I'll just stick to the Net for my news from now on.

Stay tuned.

The story isn’t over, on Fox News or elsewhere.

Other shoes will drop, and Barons commercials won’t buy Edwards cover, if that’s what he’s after.

They’ll take his money and cover the story too.

Look at it this way. The Dems will have control over Congress by a big majority. We may get our first Marxist President in Obama.

Once this happens, the “Fairness Doctrine” will not only be put back in play, but censorship will prevail.

Do YOU want to be the network that challenges Edwards? Or Obama, Clintons, Pelosi, etc?

They ran a piece on it this evening. I think it was during the first 30 minutes of Shep’s show. It concerned some comments Rielle made about Elizabeth Edwards. Rielle doesn’t like her, said Elizabeth didn’t make eye contact with her, big surprise.

Well, well, well.

That’s a fine bit of sleuthing.

Faux News has been a joke for some time now. It’s either wall-to-wall coverage about some trust-fund baby disappearing in the Caribbean, O’Rly being his idiot self, or the Buttf#$k Boys Fred and Mort pimping Rinos during the primary season. Very little there worth watching, and I’m not surprised by this latest bit of skulduggery.

They’ve been covering it today, I watched a little around lunchtime. There’s just nothing new since Friday.

Gee, a ho doesn’t like the dying wife of the guy she’s screwing.

What about the money? That’s the real story we need to get out. Watch what the Dems do, not what they say.

Maybe I’ll just go on a 4 year long fishing trip in 2009.

I have lost faith in Fox News. But the pajama-hadeen, National Enquirer et al will get to the bottom of this cesspool. Any citizen can file an IRS complaint about the shaggy headed girl friend and the child’s alleged father being bribed all these months (bet those dried up) and she is too ditzy to just stay quiet. Maybe Linda Tripp can pay her a visit.

Who knows, the causality may have been the other around. Barron & Budd, sensing that their image will be tarred when the scandal breaks, decided to put more money in advertising for pre-emptive action to minimize the potential damage.

I’ve not seen ads for that law firm on Fox (or anywhere else) before tonight.

Excellent research!

Although...Neil Cavuto did some in-depth reporting today on the money connections and had someone one who said they’re looking into campaign contributions and the pay offs to hunter.

Check Neils’show site at FOX. He’s on it.

Yup. It was wall-to-wall over the weekend, but another shoe needs to drop before it returns to the front burner.

Yes, I did just come back from the cliche store.
