Faux News has never been known to focus on facts, so this isn't surprising. The "Just One of the Folks" byline, along with the statement that that's part of the problem is correct. She represents what's happening to this once great country, by appealing to those who are getting dumber and dumber, and think their problems can be solved by simplistic verbiage and rhetoric spewed by those in Washington who claim to be "one of the folks," when in fact they are anything but.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

This is ridiculous. How dare they show a real photo?!?!

You can't criticize the media for retouching and then criticize them for NOT retouching.

I guess retouching is something we needed to learn about in Kindergarden.

Unless some esteemed member of this forum wants to argue this, it's a non-issue.

And I thought liberals are the whiny ones.

Oh no, they didn't retouch Palin's pictures.

Oh no, Obama said pig, he must be referring to Palin.

Oh no, it's the liberal media this liberal media that.

Outrage? Awfully strong word to use, really. I prefer to save my outrage for things worthy of it -- you know, the little things: government-sponsored torture, an unjustified war(1), a justified war(2) that was bungled beyond belief due to starting the unjustified one, and aggressive saber-rattling being used instead of diplomacy.

(1) Iraq
(2) Afghanistan
Life is like a clay pigeon -- sooner or later, someone is going to shoot you down and even if they miss you'll still wind up shattered and broken in the end.

I love how the Fox Noise host argues without evidence how Obama's photo was retouched. I'm sure Newsweek retouches every cover, but not to correct imperfections in people's appearance.

And what's with the guest selection?

We have on one side a silver-tongued Republican strategist and on the other side an academic.
