Who took the cake?

FOX News really takes the cake. Describing FOX News as “Fair and Balanced” may possibly be the greatest misrepresentation of a “product” since the cure-all tonics of the past.

Anyone tuning in to FOX News, at any time of day, hears a slick and polished sales pitch for something that looks like news, sounds like news, and is even called “news.’ People rely on networks such as FOX news for information which they need in order to make informed decision that can drastically affect their lives. When they tune in they believe they’re getting news. What they’re really getting is a large dose of snake oil that is totally useless and very, very dangerous.

[pause]... he’s for Obamacare and now he’s against it... I mean, we’ll wait until tomorrow and, and, and wait to see which Mitt Romney we’re really talking to ...
