Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

    The distorted picture of Jacques Steinburg bares a strong resemblance to Sean Hannity……

    Yeah, but Steinberg has a brain.

    Add to this the Obama “Terrorist Fist Jab” and “Obama’s baby Momma”. Fox News is often called Faux News for a reason.
    Maybe they need to change their name to something more accurate… how about The Onion?

    No, LD, the Onion is funny on purpose. Fox News is funny without meaning to be — like the village idiot.

    That’s awful…ly funny.

    After all those pictures photoshopped to make George W. Bush look stupid and now you’re steamed about this? Faux Outrage!

    Tom: I’ve seen countless photoshopped pictures of Bush, Obama, Cheney, Pelosi and lots of other political figures, but I’ve seen them mostly on partisan blogs or in partisan publications or on comedy programs like “The Daily Show” or “Saturday Night Live.” The stuff above was shown on a so-called news program on a network that claims to be fair and balanced. Nor are these guys familiar public figures. They’re just a couple of relatively obscure journalists, whether good or bad. This stuff was inexcusable. It clearly was an effort to make these guys look bad. If the hosts wanted to take issue with the work of these two men, that’s fine. Have at it. The trix with the pix, however, were unethical.
