As much as I cannot stand Rep. Frank, I'm glad he wasn't charged with anything. It's a shame our retarded laws allowed his partner to be charged.

Fox News is much like a black hole for truth, none ever comes out. We know this black hole exists by observing the alterations of time as we approach it.

Whooptie farking do.

It's called a Spittoon

Homos and pot? If there are muslims involved it's the perfect storm of stupidity.

If all of our congressmen had gay lovers who smoked pot, pot would be legal.

FTFA: "Rep. Barney Frank admitted Friday that he was sitting on the porch of his partner's Maine home when police came to arrest his partner for marijuana possession." (emphasis added)

Networks push up stories from local affiliates to the main network site

That's what they did, and there's a link to the local Boston affiliate's story at the end of the article.

I think half the people at fox would cumm themselves to death.

Geezus, Fox and their ilk will dig beyond the bottom of the barrel to editorialize their opinion of legalizing medical marijuana.

boring story...

Good to know this never happened.

It's too bad Jimmy Carter has already taken the crown of "History's Greatest Monster". Because if it was still open, I think this Frank fellow could really have given him a run for the money.

Frank is the author of a medical marijuana bill that would outlaw the prosecution of persons who use marijuana for medicinal purposes.

Well there's the Fox Whammie. Frank is authoring this bill because of his partner's addiction to Devil Weed!!1111

fox.com is the new newsmax

Pretty dark outside right now isn't it?

The funniest part about your post, is your knee jerk reaction to the perceived notion that liberals would get their panties in a bunch over Fox reporting the sky was blue actually contains more truth than you know.

The problem with Fox doesn't lie with them reporting when the sky is blue, but rather denying that it ever goes black at all. Add in the ad hominem attacks whenever reality doesn't fit their worldview...and that's why most liberals people, have a problem with Fox News lately.

not that that has anything to do with the article mind you, but I thought I should point it out.

Oh man, you libs must be so ashamed, especially seeing how you're all so against weeds and gays.

Ah, but Fox wouldn't report that the sky was blue. False premise.

Fox News can be biased all they want. Whatever to that.

However, that 'Fair and Balanced' bullshiat claim is what annoys people. They are the most biased out of all the networks but try to push this false image that they aren't biased. If they just admitted to it, people wouldn't have as much of an issue. But FN is too busy claiming to be on the high road of integrity and fairness while in reality they are licking every piece of crap on the low road.

Wow.

They're really reaching around for that story!

I've never met a member of DARE, but for the life of me I can't comprehend why anyone would be so irrationally against a plant that isn't addictive and has no permanent side-effects.

And yet we give corporations permits to put dead cocaine leaves in their product to preserve a non-existent status quo.

RockIsDead: They're really reaching around for that story!

Do conservatives know anything about Barney Frank other than that he's both liberal and openly gay?

Nice to have a good, solid reminder of what the Small Government Party That Believes Government Should Leave You Alone stands for: Arresting people for owning dried plant matter.

Driving Without Pants: Do conservatives know anything about Barney Frank other than that he's both liberal and openly gay?

Isn't that enough? He's worse than Hitler!

The name of the author of this fine article is Alison Bologna.

That is all.

What makes you think they need anything else to know about him? That's all their hatred needs to know.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

I like how FOX kicks everyone's ass in the ratings (almost two times over) and the haters get threads on FARK with misspelled words in the headline.

Rickerkioz: The funniest part about your post, is your knee jerk reaction to the perceived notion that liberals would get their panties in a bunch over Fox reporting the sky was blue actually contains more truth than you know.

Willful ignorance of my point. If Fox reported something that's generally accepted as true, there's a large, well-funded cadre of professional detractors who'll complain about it.

The problem with Fox doesn't lie with them reporting when the sky is blue, but rather denying that it ever goes black at all.

Some of their commentators, yes. There's nothing that can save Hannity. But the same could be said of Olbermann and Lou Dobbs. The news reporting is amazingly straight for most things, though they do tend to focus on the sensationalist stories. I have a feeling a lot of the content editors read Fark constantly.

Add in the ad hominem attacks whenever reality doesn't fit their worldview...and that's why most liberals people, have a problem with Fox News lately.

And those attacks are contained, where, exactly in this story? Oh, that's right, it's from Fox, so why bother reading anything beyond the headline!

And, judging by the cable ratings, I think your assumptions about viewership are quite off-the-mark.

not that that has anything to do with the article mind you, but I thought I should point it out.

Because it serves your political purposes. I accept that. But it still doesn't change the fact that the headline here is completely ignorant of the reality of the situation here. If it'd been an AP article, would that have changed their story? No, probably not. Would have it changed subby's headline? Absolutely not, because, WAAH FAUX NEWS.

I spent eight years working in television and radio on the local level, but also reported in a couple of situations for national and international sources (ABC radio, BBC via phone during a situation, via print for UPI....didn't get credit for that, and I'm still PO'd about it. Thank you, mister news director).

But there's no difference between the local Fox stations and the local big three stations. What sets Fox News apart from CNN and the broadcast networks is that they use local news delivery for everything. Every week is sweeps week on Fox. The more sensational the story, the more colloquial the delivery, the more people who watch.

And, despite the "noble" intentions of "journalists," they get paid to get people to stick around long enough to hear or see commercials. Nobody does that better than Fox.

GratuityIncluded: I like how FOX kicks everyone's ass in the ratings (almost two times over) and the haters get threads on FARK with misspelled words in the headline.

Yep, they kick everyone's ass in the carefully couched world of cable news in certain timeslots in certain markets.

And in turn get theirs handed to them by a cartoon sponge.

Just saying. You guys had eight years to prove that there's anything to the whole "less government intrusion" stuff you like to pound on, and we got massive expansions of military and police powers, which you now selectively whine about except when it's pointed out that it's there because of you guys. Good job.

Oh, wait... You're a Free-Thinking Independent and so that has nothing at all to do with you, right?

No, I'm a federal employee who enforces laws actually. I did under Bush, and now under Obama.

Certain markets? I beg your pardon.

By "kicks everyone's ass", we mean "gets half the ratings of pro wrestling and doesn't even have as much good advertising."

Call them Fox Ratings Whores, since apparently that's more important than being honest.
