My observation of the talking news heads....

So... I'm at home today watching baby Zoey, and I'm flipping back and forth between CNN and Fox News.... CNN spent a good 20+ minutes showing whats going on on Haiti. During that same time... Fox... Nothing but how the state of the union tonight is very critical for the Presidents reputation, even within his own party! There are things he has to say in order to keep the Dem's from turning on him... yeah... so CNN is showing the horrible situation in Haiti... and fox is bickering and FUD stirring. Then Fox moves on to the recall of the "faulty" gas pedals of 8 models of Toyota's. Basically saying Toyota is a HORRIBLE company for having a faulty product AND RECALLING IT. ie: THEIR FIXING THE PROBLEM!! at the cost they even stated of 8 million a week! It wasn't government mandated... it was done at their own accord. But some how this is bad... they show up outside a New York City Toyota dealer and act surprised when someone doesn't see it as a big deal... of coarse they don't put that person on camera, because he was looking for a hybrid, but as soon as they find a crazy lady that agree's that toyota is a horrible company, she gets a full minute to spout her bias moronic view. Her pedal stuck in her toyota camery and she hit a pot, making her an expert that should deserve some face time on the TV, that these cars should be taken off the market (which they were... as noted previously in the story) but they were even hinting that people should stop buying Toyota's all together? WTF Fox! Really... Your about as fair and balanced as an iceberg. ===== Update ====== Just heard commentator say that "American's" probably wouldn't be so against the Health Care Bill, if they just knew what was in it. I'm befuddled... WTF!!! I don't know of any other channel thats put more mystery and added more confusion over just what was in the bill other than Fox News... so... to answer his question... its because of you, you ass-hat...
