i didnt watch the actual speech on faux but did watch some commentary and figured they were using vid references directly from speech as said in speech. what i saw didnt match what i knew i saw of the actual speech. so i should have said according to the commentary and how the one i saw was spliced...

They might as well have just named it www.wef'inhatefoxnews.com. Seems more appropriate.

Since Hannity is a talk show personality on fox, then do you believe all of fox news is taken out of context? Only reason I ask this isn't Keith Oberlin, Chris Matthews the equivalent on MSNBC? Should all the news programs be looked at as bias since they all skew things to meet their viewing audience?

Just think you are lumping all of fox news in one category because of their personalities but not holding the other news organizations to the same standard with their personalities commentary. Because their view meets your needs and not necessarily the real facts either.

... not to mention it lacks creativity and is a stretch to begin with.

It is noteworthy however that this fits into radical religious right's scary bedtime stories. It stokes fears that the sky is falling. Fear for your lives over things outside of your sphere of control.

But it doesn't fit into the category of the love affair the media has with the Prez and that he cannot do any wrong or be criticized whatsoever?

Will there be a response from either the Fox News viewers, or the conservative-leaning board members, about the quality of information from Fox? Should Scooby's comments [paraphrased] RE: "Hannity is not Fox news - he's a contributor" represent the group response?

Fox News anchor ED Hill has lost her show a week after suggesting Barack Obama and his wife Michelle's on-stage victory gesture could be seen as a "terrorist fist jab".

Hill, the anchor of Fox News show America's Pulse, made the comment last Friday after Obama and his wife affectionately bumped fists before his victory speech on becoming the Democratic candidate for president.

"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," said Hill in her show. "We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says."

According to US media reports Hill, who has been with Fox News Channel since 1998, has now lost her show although she is to stay with the network in an as yet undetermined capacity.

Hill apologised for the gaffe live on-air at the start of her show on Tuesday.

"I want to start the show by clarifying something I said on the show about an upcoming body language segment. Now I mentioned various ways the Obama's fist pump in St Paul's had been characterised in the media," she said.

"I apologise because unfortunately, some thought I personally had characterised it inappropriately. I regret that. It was not my intention. And I certainly didn't mean to associate the word 'terrorist' in any way with Senator Obama and his wife," Hill added.
