crooksandliars.com — Hilarious! A poll on the "most foolish American" put President Bush at the top with 40%, but Fox News listed him last and put Britney Spears with 32% first. "Looks like Britney Spears is the most foolish," the anchor says.

In other news, crooksandliars.com distorts the title of their story on Fox. Again. He just read the first 2 on the list-- it had nothing to do with defending Bush. Get over yourselves people. This is sad. Marked as inaccurate. Again.

Yeah, I heard the hesitation too. Bobble headed news casters often read the copy and then glance at the screen to see the graphic afterward. This looks like a news production glitch. You can hear the newscasters thinking "what the fa?" while trying to finish the piece. Just another haha hehe Britney is worse than Bush moment brought to you by your local fox affiliate.

Its not like they distorted the graphic, they just screwed up what the anchors said. If it was really a distortion they would have changed the numbers.I vote for incompetence, not distortion. Still funny though.

CNN and MSNBC liberally biased? Only in Crawford, Texas. By any measure of the actual range of opinions, both of those pro-war outfits are within margin-of-error of Fox News.

Ummm, a really liberal radio program here reported the same poll and said Britney Spears was #1, not George Bush, which they were surprised at. I think this is a simple case of a typo on Fox's part as I doubt a liberal radio show would pass up a chance to declare Bush the #1 most foolish American if they could. Sorry guys, no conspiracy here.

Fox local affiliate is not Fox News.

News is to convey information. There is 0% information content in the fact that Bush is the "most foolish American".

The Fox/Murdoch Republican bias is no joke. Look at a today's headline stories in the NY Post, a Murdoch-owned newspaper:PELOOPSI AS PELOSI SYRIASLY BUNGLES MISSION<a class="user" href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/04052007/news/nationalnews/peloopsi_as_pelosi_syriasly_bungles_mission_nationalnews_ian_bishop_________post_correspondent.htm">http://www.nypost.com/seven/04052007/news/nationalnews/peloopsi_as_pelosi_syriasly_bungles_mission_nationalnews_ian_bishop_________post_correspondent.htm</a>EDWARDS CASHING IN ON WIFE'S CANCER<a class="user" href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/04052007/news/nationalnews/edwards_cashing_in_on_wifes_cancer_nationalnews_maggie_haberman.htm">http://www.nypost.com/seven/04052007/news/nationalnews/edwards_cashing_in_on_wifes_cancer_nationalnews_maggie_haberman.htm</a>

Nothing FOX does these days surprises me anymore. How anyone can consider it's news and commentaries as credible is a real mystery to me.
