FoxNews is outraged!
Outrage! Outrage! Joe Biden actually mentioned the bunker underneath the VP's residence. FoxNews claims this is a huge security breach! Echoed on Drudge, of course.
Except, I don't know if anybody remembers, but there was a whole lot of joking about public reports from neighbors of 18 months of mysterious explosions coming from Cheney's VP residence. From the WaPo,
Or maybe you prefer NPR.
I mean, c'mon FoxNews.

In 2002, the quiet neighborhood was rocked by months of mysterious, round-the-clock blasting from the vicinity of No. 1 Observatory Circle, the official residence of the vice president. The explosions were never explained. "The noise was ungodly," Douglass said. "I think many of us still have windows that don't open and close properly."
Some houses developed cracks in the plaster and other minor damage. Douglass made phone calls to ask about insurance claim forms. She was directed to the Pentagon, and says she was informed that property damage claims would not be considered, "because the blasting had never happened."

I mean, c'mon FoxNews.

I think they're already aware of that.
they don't care about the facts. it's more important to have the story 'out there'.
mental shelf space, and simmering outrage is what really counts over at Faux News.
we'll see more of this.
I'd like to see a few more blogs out there, besides yours, that will counter this kind of disinformation. I encourage people to post links to blogs like this on rightwing forums.

Thanks. I really appreciate the compliment, and the links, but please be careful not to set me up as troll target central.
I really like my little community, and the few times I've had to deal with jackasses it has been a real pain.

FoxNews has a very profitable, very successful infotainment model. But nobody really thinks of them as a news organization. They're more like a political supermarket tabloid. They know it. Other media know it. 66% of the American public know it.... the other 33% hug tightly to it's self-validating propaganda like a man-overboard to a lifesaver.

It's Political Porn. Republicans beating up Democrats in gross and exaggerated ways.
