The Headline
Insurgents Fire at Rep. Payne's Plane in SomaliaThe lead Rep. Donald Payne's trip to Mogadishu, Somalia, on Monday to meet on international assistance to that war-torn country and the issue of piracy was marred when Islamist insurgents fired mortars at the airport as his plane was leaving.
The money quote A defense official told FOX News that "explosive devices went off in the vicinity of Payne's aircraft when his plane was taking off from the airport in Mogadishu." However, the official could not say whether Payne was the intended target.

well, as presented, seems legit; unfortunately, there is so much distortion in these partisan news shows, that as i didn't see the pieces i know i have no idea what the truth is..having seen never seen keith olbermann have an opposing or contrasting viewpoint on his show, and his rabid jealousy of o'reilly's ratings i suspect there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

Except for Small Wonder and Alf. Those were creepy but for different reasons.

Given the bit you bolded, are you taking exception to the theory that news networks are as interested or MORE interested in entertainment that informing the public? I'm pretty sure that's what you are saying, but I wanted to be sure... Beaker wrote: Now you're going too far. These comments are the responsibility of those who uttered them — and they are the ones to be held accountable first.
If you have some conclusive proof that Fox management authorized this particular slam against the Canadian military, by all means, trot it out.

Years ago, when i was consulting for GE medical, there was a rule for the managers: you made your numbers every quarter. No excuses. You failed, you lost your job. Period. One quarter, one of the managers wasn't making his number. He was sweating it. So on March 27th, he sold all the repair inventory. He made his number. No matter that all the other divisions that needed repair parts were screwed. He made his number. Fox management says, "Make your ratings. No excuses." What happens after that is not their problem. They can disclaim any responsibility. So long as Mr. Murdock is happy with the numbers. So no...they're not, um, directly involved...

Since I wasn't trying to say anything about Fox management, can I rephrase things to say that "we know that Fox staffers often make stuff up just to excite the base"? Can I, huh? BTW, I'm sure that Rupert and his managers are pleased to have you standing ready to defend them.

*edit* It's not likely that Fox management will take responsibility for anything. That's why Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly get away with the stuff they do.
