The Fox News Shocker

Okay, so not really. Fox News' own Tony Snow is going to be the new spokesperson for George W. Bush, replacing Scott McClellan. It's humorous how Fox News claims that CNN and MSNBC have Democratic biases, yet, Fox News' own Tony Snow gets chosen as the new spokesman for the Republican President Bush. Yeah, we'll see if Keith Olbermann gets picked for the job if a Democrat wins in '08.

I am surprised that Bush picked Snow, however. Why not go for O'Reilly or Hannity as a spokesperson? They'd be yelling, screaming, throwing chairs at the press for asking certain questions. They'd be blurting out, "You America haters! You all should go to jail!" That seems to be more in line with Bush's agenda than Tony Snow, who has criticized the president in the past. That's kind of funny in a way, but honestly, outside of Bush's little circle, who hasn't criticized the president? When asked about the criticisms, Snow responded with, "You should've heard what I said about the other guy," meaning, the Democrat. So, no, Snow doesn't seem to love Bush, but perhaps likes him more than he could like any Democrat. That's my guess.

Ahh, news channel biases. They all carry with them some bias, depending on who is talking. But, I've only seen one documentary about one of these channels and that film is called, "Outfoxed," which, by looking at the title, would suggest it's about Fox News. Fox News has criticized CNN for being Democratically biased. O'Reilly has been trying to get Keith Olbermann replaced on MSNBC. Yet, Fox News should really just look in the mirror, shouldn't they? Maybe that scope of theirs, that I just wrote about in my previous blog, could use a little widening and expanding. Just watch, O'Reilly will claim that CNN is biased because a member of Fox News was hired to be the spokesperson for the President. I don't see the logic in that, but I don't see the logic in most everything that O'Reilly says.
