Falafel King: Abu Ghraib Scandal Was ‘Blown Out Of Proportion’


Memo to Congress: Send Bill-O to Abu Ghraib with a one way ticket. Bill-O ate too much Neo-Con Krispies cereal.


Thinkprogress:


Last night on The O’Reilly Factor, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly did a segment criticizing the media’s coverage of the war in Iraq. He and Fox News analyst Monica Crowley claimed that the media don’t cover enough of the “good news.”

Crowley added that the media have a habit of “taking a small story about something small that happened in Iraq and amplifying it.” Her example of a “small story”? Abu Ghraib. Even O’Reilly had to admit, “That wasn’t small. … That wasn’t big.” Eventually though, O’Reilly came around and agreed, “Well, I think we all agree that that was blown out of proportion.”

The Faux Noose Noise brand is don't tell it like it is, they want the GOP to have one station on TV that is a feel good GOP station no matter how many details, and major things have to be left out, fluff it up and make it seem like warm and fuzzy news for the GOP, exept when Falafel guy condemns the whole city of San Franscisco because of a gay pride parade and two gay guys dressed up as comic nuns taking communion at a Catholic church.....now that's newsworthy?
