Fox Watching the Press Pit?

It's come to that, has it, Amurka?

For the record, I have stopped watching Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, and Keith Olbermann. I find it most vile for the MSM that pilloried Bush (not that I approved of that lying, law-breaking, mass-murdering, war-criminal torturer); however, to watch the "LIBERAL MSM" flip on a dime and ENDORSE OBAMA'S BACKTRACKS and TYRANNY serves to illustrate their complete function as a diversionary realm of the agenda-pushing MSM's controlled-opposition quality.

Of course, that is why YOU and I are HERE, isn't it, reader?


Oh, and don't get me wrong; I never watch Fox. The most I can stomach is a bit of ZNN, I mean, CNN, and even then it's a click, click, off.

"Treasury is told to give network bailout records" by Associated Press | February 21, 2009

WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered the Treasury Department to give the Fox Business Network records about how the agency spent billions in bailout money.

Where was MSNBC?

The network filed requests under The Freedom of Information Act for records related to the funds spent on American International Group, the Bank of New York Mellon, and Citigroup. The network specifically asked the department to identify the troubled assets purchased, any collateral extended, and any restrictions placed on the financial institutions for their participation in this program.

US District Judge Richard Holwell ruled yesterday the Treasury must comply with the request by March 23. Kevin Magee, Fox News executive vice president, responded in a statement that the network "believes it's important to hold the government accountable, especially for use of the bailout funds during this time of steep economic crisis."

While I'm HAPPY to HEAR IT, I was just wondering where you guys were on the war-looting?

Fox filed the requests more than three months ago, with a request for expedited processing. It filed suit on Dec. 18, saying that the department had not responded other than to confirm that it received the requests. Treasury spokesman Andrew Williams said the department has posted all financial stability contracts on the Internet so taxpayers can see how the money is being spent.

He said the department has already given Fox more than 1,200 pages of requested documents and "will continue to do so on a rolling basis."

It's still the Bush Treasury Department, isn't it?
