Fox Admits They Side With GOP

Posted at 8:57 pm on Wednesday, June 1, 2005, in Uncategorized.

In a quick moment of true identity revealed, Fox News anchor Davis Asman, whose license plate reads “ASMAN,” admitted that Fox News is a GOP-fronted organization. While discussing the filibustered judicial nominees with Strom Thrumond and segregation supporter Senator Trent Lott…

From the May 25 edition of Fox News Live:

ASMAN: You’re the chairman of the rules committee. Did Senator [Bill] Frist [R-TN] have the votes to end the filibuster?

LOTT: I believe that he did. It would have been very close. We would have probably gotten a 50-50 tie vote, with the vice president breaking the tie.

[...]

ASMAN: So, Senator, if we should have done it and if we had the votes to do it in the Senate — if you guys in the Republican Party did — then why did you need a compromise?

LOTT: Well, you know, I would argue that we probably should have gone forward with the vote, all things considered.

The problem here is that you can’t really blame Mr. Assman, can you? The first thing taught in writing class is to know and understand your audience. Mr. Assclown certainly knows his.

Now, let us delve into a sidebar for a moment. Had Dan Rather or Peter Jennings, while discussing an issue with a prominent democratic senator, mentioned the word “we” with the intention of siding with the senator, we all would have heard about it… from Fox News.
