Fox News recently ran a special edition of Hannity's America called Obama & Friends: History of Radicalism

You can watch that here.

One of the people interviewed on the program was Andy Martin, the source of rumors that Obama is a Muslim.

Is this a new low for Fox, or has it always been this bad?

Maybe it's just my pro-Obama confirmation bias? Is Keith Olberman even half this bad? (I don't watch him enough to know).
 
Hannity has been a moron for the 12 years I have been aware of his existance. Just a friendlier version of the fat deaf junky with the "stiffness" problem.
 
Nothing new here. Fox is the fast-food for the illiterate.
 
No Keith Olberman is not as bad.

Olberman is biased, no question about that at all. But I tend to find KO can at least back up his bias with actual facts, usually in the form of the original sound bite from the person he is reporting on related to the subject.

Fox and Hannity specifically, tends to use second hand information to make their points for them. A talking head will come on and say "I know about such and such because I was there.... you believe me don't you?"

KO is biased in the stories he chooses to cover, Hannity is biased in the stories he chooses to cover and in the way he chooses to cover them.

Yep. Olbermann doesn't make stuff up or tries to smear without having
any convincing facts. FOX's success are dumb people. Which tells a lot
about liberals.

What a bizarre exercise in dishonesty and propaganda.

Goebbels wasn't dangerous because he had a 1 hour propaganda show on the weekends. He was dangerous because he was in charge.

Hannity being a smear-relay is no news at all. I'm more interested in the "big lie" when its used by politicians like Barack Obama to blame the very idea of small government for the economic crisis.

straw straw straw straw. Even if that were not a strawman, why aren't you blaming McCain, Bush 1 & 2, Reagan etc. etc. None of them have done anything to bring about "small government".

You want the "big lie", how about the one that Republicans believe in small government. That's the biggest whopper out there.

Nah. I have just come to the conclusion that Republicans ARE in favor of smaller goernment; for the Dems. For themselves, the bigger, the better.
 
The little I have seen of Fox, it is all "You won't believe this", "Now get this", "Go figure". The information isn't so much leaning a particular way as rammed down your gullet with a 2lb mash hammer.

The worst thing about Fox though is the stupid sound effects - which at times seem to disorientate the presenters never mind the viewers.

Well I myself had a tragic thought a month ago that seems more and more likely to becoming a real possibiblty that Obama is an undercover Muslim and will do more harm to the USA if he wins this election than anyone could fatham! God help us all as the end does seem to be drawing nearer.

I am just grateful I know the Savior and no matter what happens Jesus wins!!

And on that note who do you think Jesus would vote for?? I think McCain is more the real deal than Obama Mr. Charismatic smile that people don't see past enough. I'm sorry but I do not think Jesus would vote for Obama, not unless by some miracle he gets conviction over his sins and truly repents. After all God can change even the biggest of liars, with the exception of Satan but I won't even go there.

I think Hannity is doing a great job exposing some of the evils we are fighting!

If you really listen to Mc Cain he has a clear explanation to how he wants to go about turning things around for this country. My insticts and discernment tell me thart Obama does not mean one word of what he promises and that he has a hidden agenda.

Well is this world all there is to you? Heaven and hell are real so my eternity is set after accepting what Christ did on the cross for me. My sins are covered what about yours?

And I just pray a lot that the Lord helps this country and heals our land. It's a good time to believe and be humble. We all need God to win these battles in our world. And my God is not the God of this world who deceives many.
 
What time does this chap go on? - I don't think I have ever seen him. I usually catch the financial guy's show Cavuto (sp?) and occasionally their forum with Barnes and Krauthammer. Barnes is a party line man but I quite like Krauthammer - a stranger to an ironed collar and all the better for it.

This world is a passing moment but you need God to win these battles - not exactly coherent thinking.

I am happy your religion gives you solace and comfort. My understanding is Obama is also a Christian - it is also my understanding that it is incorrect to call a brother or sister a liar in matters of faith. However, that is between you, Obama and your God. It has nothing to do with me thankfully.
