Fair And Balanced My Ass

Check out Pennsylvania governor and Hillary Clinton supporter Ed Rendell talking to Fox & Friends morning show host Steve Ducey about how fair their network's coverage of the Democratic primary has been thus far:

Since it's inception, Fox News has based it's foundation for success on three main points: salacious stories about sex/missing, pretty, blonde white girls, a constant barrage of jingoistic Iraq war coverage/terror-alert scare mongering and a policy of perpetual attacks against the Clintons and the Democratic party, Hillary especially. Their mantra of "fair and balanced" is a laughingstock in most serious news circles and would actually be ironically funny if it wasn't so blatantly Orwellian.

Apparently Rendell is comfortable with Fox commentators speculating as to whether Sen. Clinton as president would be subject to "PMS and mood swings" as long as it is fairly balanced with three solid weeks of Obama bashing, interspersed with 30 second clips from Rev. Wright's more inflammatory sermons. But hey, it's just one more example of the Clinton campaign's total disconnect from reality and their willingness to say and do anything to win this nomination. Et tu, Ed? Douche.
