CrackpipeCardozo: palelizard: Turns out, when all you've got to export is the ingredients to a reasonable salad and a bunch of heathen animal-raping gods, you really need to make good on the promise of salad.

How well does the salad compliment my insatiable appetite for animal-raping?

White meat or red meat?

I was talking to my mother down in Phoenix last week. She was going on about something that her scared to death. Of course I had never heard of the horrifying situation so I asked, "Mom, have you been watching Fox news again?"

I love you right now. But not in a gay way.

Nah, it's in a totally gay way.

That isn't a chart, although they did make it look like it by using the numbers into the graphic's design. Intentionally deceptive

It doesn't matter. Conservatives don't care about blatant lies as long as those lies stick it to the Libs.

Now I'm thinking they purposely hire innumerate people to handle their graphs and statistical analysis, if only to maintain a level of plausible deniability.

Dusk-You-n-Me: Today:

U.S. crude oil imports during 2011 fell to their lowest level in twelve years and were down 12% from their peak in 2005, as higher domestic oil production reduced American refiners' purchases of foreign crude. Link (new window)


Republicans: A party that worships the concept of Capitalism, filled with people who literally do not understand the concept of Supply and Demand.

/How the fark does that work, exactly?

Media matters + reference to climate change = enough said.

tenpoundsofcheese: Media matters + reference to climate change = enough said.

Exactly, it's because global warming scientists are taking up all of the people skilled in making charts.

NeverDrunk23: To be fair, I am sure the left did something similar on CNN or the other liberal media msm. Granted, I dont have any facts to back up my claim, and I made my claim very vague and devoid of any context, and I really spent the post getting angrier at what I think may or may not happened instead of what actually happened while deflecting to claim that both sides are bad in order to excuse Fox, but I FEEL it in my gut to be true that CNN did this, so that makes it ok that Fox did!

Vote Tricky Dicky Santorum '12!

What's more, the price we pay at the pump does not cover the actual costs that arise from gasoline production and use, such as the health impacts from air pollution, damages due to climate change, spills like the BP disaster in 2010 and the military investment in protecting oil supply.

That graph is funny. Let's factor all those things in and pay $11,450 a gallon.

And let's factor them into mass transit, too. That'll be $720 for that cross-town ride.

They didnt make a chart.. it was just a gas pump with numbers on it, they knew what they were doing making it look like that. This is a very common method they use, no different then "were just asking questions" nonsense they'll pull, or report on themselves... people are talking. The design there looks like a chart.. but not calling it one gives the out, it's why the prices are not added together, and the up to 20% is mentioned.

Anyone that considers Fox News a legitimate news source is a moran.

You really gotta wonder how diabolical those graphic artists are to intentionally mislead people like that.
Yeah, and everything misleading fox puts out is just an honest mistake.

OMG I know, right? Who can trust Media Matters when they post the exact content from Fox, then proceed to explain why the graph is wrong??

Fox's number had the global warming cost in it and the air pollution cost which is WHAT MEDIA MATTERS COMPLAINED IS LACKING.

Global warming is real you farking denier!

Tymast: Yeah, and everything misleading fox puts out is just an honest mistake

It's just an isolated incident.

Just like all those hundreds of other isolated "mistakes" and "errors" which always just happen to err on the side of making Democrats look bad and Republicans look good. It's just an astounding, astronomical coincidence that all those "honest mistakes" happen to shake out like that.

Really? Care to point out to the class where on this chart it measures the global warming cost?

Is fox news ever intended to be a factual source of information?

Acorn, Bill Ayers, Obama, and George Soros using rituals taught to them by gay and lesbian witches using birth control pills cause the alignments.

Recently, I have been encountering what to me seems a new talking point, and that is: "The GOVERNMENT [sic] makes more money off gas than the oil companies" or something close to that. With the errors and vague presentation of this image, especially the bottom Nat. Av part, I am assuming this image is part of the new talking point.

TheShavingofOccam123: Can't viewers sue news providers who lie to them under some sort of common law assumed ability or fitness to perform the task it was designed to perform?

If I buy a lawn mower and it can't cut grass...

Fox News has already argued before the courts that it can lie.

There are an awful lot of countries missing from this graph.

Yeah, the problem is that the US gutted the fark out of its light rail infrastructure and moved whitey out to the suburbs virtually forcing the automobile to be the primary mode of transportation. It sucks, but the oil/auto/rubber companies farked us a looooong time ago and the $1 judgement is really starting to be a slap in the face.

LouDobbsAwaaaay: Also, I'm pretty sure that gas pump handle on the right side isn't sitting in the rack quite right. Looks like it would fall out if you nudged it.

WHY DOESN'T FOX NEWS SUPPORT OUR GAS PUMP HANDLES?

Gordon Bennett: Clearly the lesson learned today is that both sides are bad, so vote Rapeublican.

Due to state and private drilling you dishonest asshat. Obama has reduced oil exploration and drilling on federal lands.

Name 3 you would actually like to live in...

Plus, what is crazy is that almost 100% of our gas taxes go directly to road construction and repair... so the users are paying for their use. And if you have driven anywhere lately, you realize these taxes should be higher.
