'Fox And Friends' Air Anti-Obama Video That Could Double As GOP Ad

"Fox and Friends" aired a remarkable four-minute video on its Wednesday show.

The video, which the hosts of the show advertised as taking a "look back" at President Obama's four years in office, could easily be mistaken for a Republican attack ad. It was aired multiple times ( Read more... )

Disavowing after the fact means nothing. Damage done, the sheeple have already got another brick in their know-nothing wall.

Blech.

Could double as? Could be mistaken for?

If anyone doesn't know by now that FOX is the PR arm of the Republican Right, they've been asleep at the switch for some time.

Because then people will want to be poor, and that's bad (because they... owe us work? idk). It's the same rhetoric from people who think folks stay on welfare because it's easier than working.

I have a hard time believing that a organization as micromanaged as Fox News, that this slipped out with noone's approval beforehand.

You're so right. This is nothing but plausible deniability.

Much less a PA getting anything on air that isn't approved. The layers of bs on this is amazing.
