If you mention to conservatives (especially on conservative blogs) that FOX "News" is right-wing propaganda, and that they just make shit up, you'll be met with wide-eyed disbelief. They'll fake indignation over the very charge. "Prove it!" "Give me sources!" "Where's your link to the transcript?"
Now, stop and wonder for a second why conservatives give a flip, and feel the need to defend the "fair and balanced" not-a-division-of-the-Republican-party "news" channel? If it isn't incredibly right-wing biased, what are they defending it for? Why are nearly all "FOX fans" conservatives anyway?
Well, if you find yourself in a scenario like the one above, remember this clip. Here, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks dissects a typical episode of the oddly named FOX & Friends. Michelle Malkin is the guest "expert," and they just make stuff up about Barack Obama "plagiarizing" from Mario Cuomo. Check it out.
