Pravda versus Fox

Don't stop with Bobo - he's just the corrupt tip of an iceberg floating in swine. Swine, we are told, is the chemical reaction caused by a mixture of decomposing pig fat and rotten pickle juice.

The Party Line
Recent excerpts from the daily instructions given to Fox News reporters and producers by senior management:

“The so-called 9/11 commission has been meeting. Do not turn this into Watergate.”
(3/23/04)

“Today is likely to be the apex of the so-called 9/11 commission hearings. Remember that while there are obvious political implications for Bush, the commission is looking at eight years of the Clinton Administration versus eight months . . . for Bush.”
(3/24/04)

“Do not fall into the easy trap of mourning the loss of U.S. lives [in Iraq] and asking out loud why are we there.”
(4/4/04)

“Ribbons or medals? Which did John Kerry throw away after he returned from Vietnam? His perceived disrespect for the military could be more damaging to the candidate than questions about his actions in uniform.”
(4/26/04)

“Also, let’s refer to the US marines we see in the foreground as ‘sharpshooters,’ not ‘snipers,’ which carries a negative connotation.”
(4/28/04)

“The President and VP are MEETING with the 9/11 commission. They are NOT testifying . . . ”
(4/29/04)

“The President goes to Michigan [today], accompanied by a powerful campaign asset, the first lady.”
(5/3/04)
