Fox News slanders the nicest, sweetest, most gentle man that ever walked the planet

I have a necklace with a Mr. Roger's quote on it "you can never go down the drain".

Hey look, more fine reporting from Faux.

Here's my "favorite" part. Go to about 1:30 into the clip and look at the caption. Can they get any closer to that being an exclamation instead of a question mark? Freaking tabloid.

Since I clicked Tref's first link first, I watched his goodbye first. Then, I couldn't even watch more than 30 seconds of the clip. Seeing his goodbye first really affected me. What is wrong with our country? How can anyone point a finger at that man and say such awful things? I really am close to tears right now. The so-called professor Don Chance of LSU sure did find a way to get his name in the papers, but for anyone else to actually JUMP on the bandwagon and sneer is just ugly.

Dude, that's amazing. I remember well the part of my high school history classes where we early 20th century yellow journalism...I really hope that in 50-100 years we can look backward at this kind of thing.

Blog response to a conservative nutjob blog post about this story. Brought a tear to my eye.

Moreover, when people write that "[t]he loss of any moral compass has been a deliberate agenda of the ACLU, the NEA, and Leftist professors who have a childish need to destroy the white, conservative, Judeo-Christian base," I'm at a loss as to figure out where they're coming from. Do you not think people can disagree with your politics without wanting to destroy the very country they themselves inhabit?

Look at it from my point of view: The machinations of the countless anti-science Christians presently staining America are unquestionably harmful to the country in various ways (you mention the natural environment, which most Bible-bangers conspicuously don't give a yip about), but I wouldn't say that they intend to ruin the country; they're just too stupid and brainwashed to do otherwise. To propose that they want to ruin their own homeland would imply that they're nihilistic, when in truth they're merely fvckheads. Does that make sense, sir?

Funny report. The first guy says that socialized medicine will bring in terrorists. The second guy says that while it might not bring in terrorists, it will deliver bad quality care. Then the host throws it to the third "expert" with "You've heard both sides..."

Very subtle, Fox.

Here is a quite suitable official response from the parent company for Mister Rogers Neighborhood:

The way to avoid entitlement is to put the blame elsewhere.

I think we must all turn off our TV sets immediately, starting with Faux News.

I don't watch Faux, but can I wait until the Tour is over to turn the TV off?

I think I'm probably better off not watching the video. Fox News irritates me just by being on in my vicinity.
