The Bubble

It is nearly impossible to believe, but the Fox Bubble Machine just continues on and on.

The latest is the Patraeus "scandal".  Fox is trying to link the infidelity of the much decorated General and CIA Director (former) with the Libya killing "scandal".

Both are completely bogus.

Patraeus, it appears, succumbed to a very attractive 40 something woman, who was his biographer.  The "affair" it seems, in no way threatened national security.  In short, the General succumbed to a beautiful woman.  Gee,  how unique!

Moreover, it appears that the Libyan "scandal" is more the product of Fox imagination than anything.

Let's see, how many Fox Scandals have actually born out?   Tell  me a couple that did?  Go on, I'm waiting.

The truth (a word Fox News has no clue about), is that Fox scandalizes practically everything, from prayers in schools, to religious artifacts.

And 99% of the time, there is NOTHING there.

What is amazing, is that Fox has admitted that it was clueless when it came to the Presidential election, attacking polls that were right, while touting polls that were very wrong.

This "living in a bubble of created reality" probably contributed to Romney's substantial loss, and may have cost some conservative congressmen their jobs.

Fox basically gave cons the impression, based on no facts, that Romney was going to win in a landslide and bring Republicans with him.

Of course, this was nonsense.  But Romney perceptibly "coasted" through the last few days of the campaign.  He even visited Pennsylvania, which he had no chance in.

Of course now, Fox has had the gall to actually launch a couple "stories" (as in once upon a time), claiming ominously that some areas  in Pennsylvania actually went 100% for Obama.  Right, people were so pissed off with voter suppression, they all voted for Obama...No surprise!

This from a network that actually cheered on the voter suppression efforts of Republicans, that had the unintended consequences of actually INCREASING minority turnout, and dooming Romney (and  apparently other radical conservatives) to defeat.

Absolutely unbelievable!
