Bah, this is a media matters link. We all know there is nothing true about what they say. Hell, I bet they created the whole misleading graphic themselves, then surreptitiously placed it on Fox. They are just that devious.

This contradicts my aunt's email FW:FW:FW:RE:fw:RE:fw:FW that CLEARLY explains that Obama is using the secret gas price dial in his desk to personally raise prices across the nation and 98 cents out of every dollar gasoline costs per gallon more than it did when Reagan was president goes DIRECTLY to building FEMA camps where we'll all be forced into mandatory gay marriages where the bouquets are made up of aborted fetuses and the post-ceremony confetti will be shredded Bibles.

Gyrfalcon: I'm wondering if FAUX NEWS deliberately hires the handicapped to produce their computer graphics. Their people can't even count to potato.

First the libs are all like "OMG ADA! EE!" and then libs are all like "HAHA YOU HIRED 'TARDS!" Farking make up your mind.

It's clearly part of the vast left-wing media conspiracy to continually discredit the right. There it is, just sitting there, being inflamed by the media, and people are going to trust Fox News less because of it, which, by removing the only fair and balanced perspective, just veers the political discourse further to the left off that cliff that is liberalism.

This is the kind of issue that plagued Greece before the true lefty-leftards came to power and destroyed their economy. 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. And that's exactly what the Demorats in charge didn't choose.

The Republicans want to deliver a salad--something real, something produced by real work. The Demorat Party just wants to make wishes to a bunch of non-existent deities and get something for nothing with a side of bestiality.

Now, as we approach voting season, folks, I ask you this: do you really want to be Greecey?

sweetmelissa31: Gecko Gingrich: The article also missed that Fox has .18 (Federal) as a bigger chunk of the graph than either .23 (State) or .30 (State and Local).

Also it looks like .18+.23+.30 is only slightly less than $3.83.


DAMN YOU GAS MATH!

To be fair - nothing on Fox News is intended to be a factual statement.

ecl: 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 Sticky Dicky Santorum '12!

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

I'd like to thank FOX News Channel for making it possible for me to use the term "Orwellian" much more than I thought I ever would.

Gas prices up 7% in Germany!!!

This is obviously due to Obama not allowing a Canadian Company to build a pipe line to the Gulf of Mexico to sell sell oil to the Chinese...

Thanks for keeping me informed Steve, Gretchen and Brian!

Whatever. My gut tells me 99 cents out of every dollar spent at the pump goes directly to fund Obama's corrupt buddies at Solyndra. I plan on voting accordingly.
