Obama Spokesman Bill Burton Remains Cool Under FOX News Inquisition
Watch how cool Obama spokesman Bill Burton remains under a disgusting, hysterical inquisition from FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly over the fake controversies trumped up by the network regarding socialist policies and redistribution of wealth.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

I watched this clip this a.m. on huff... I am just amazed out the ways of Faux Noise, Palin, Bill-O and others in the GOP... Just because you SAY you're fair and balanced doesn't mean you are... it's rather pathetic watching these people lie, openly and without qualm about what they have done for the past 8 years, as if it wasn't all caught on tape. I totes support the fair news doctrine, and think it should be enforced a little more strictly, especially upon people like Faux Noise and MSDNC.

Is it just me, or is this Bill Burton guy really sexy when he's smacking down Fox News?

Watching this is like chewing on tin foil. Fox News is so ridiculous... how anyone can take them seriously is astounding. If you haven't watched the video "Outfoxed" go out and rent it.

Bill handled himself with class. That's the way it's supposed to work. Megyn was shrill, hysterical, and the "you attack, I defend" line was just highschoolish.
Kudos to you, Bill!!!

I don't normally use such language, but I think the circumstances warrant it: Jesus, what a cunt.

Truly a female douche bag.
"I will have you on, I will scream my rhetoric at you, then shout over you as you try to dispel my rhetoric"
Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise.
Bill is a CUTIE! That of itself gets my vote!

Fox Noise and it's minions ... It's like speaking reason to a turnip.

Gee--you can't tell this lady is a fan of O'Reilly--she has his interview style down to a T. It's The Spin Factor with tits.

What? Are they still trying to pretend they are "fair and balanced as always?"

"Megyn"? That's really her name? Seriously?
The ridiculous spelling of her name is surpassed only by her astounding immaturity. I'm surprised at FOX... as unscrupulous as they have always been, they're usually a titch more professional than this. Not much more... a titch more...

This is definitely a doc to see

FOX News: You'd think the most important issue in this election was THEM. Narcissism taken to its most pathetic extreme. (Being ice cold and blond must be a prerequisite for right wing propaganda bitches?) Bill handled himself well, and he even has an endearingly adorable version of the Lucas porn pout.

Do people expect us to believe that they are fair and balanced when they don't even give their guests the time and courtesy to respond? They are truly noise, and their claims to be "balanced" are false.

I honestly don't understand why any candidate would offer their advisers to FOX for interviews if this is the level of professionalism that they display. We can disagree, and we can debate... but this kind of ugliness on the part of that shrill harpie demeans all of us, and even further demeans our political process.

like a genuine harpy this kunt keeps snatching the truth... she belongs in Hell (or in this case Fox News).

She defends McCain while everyone else in the USA that doesn't make $200,000 a year and has a clothing budget, like her, is flat broke. I'm sure her bonus check depends on stupid stuff like this one.

Dumb, bleached blond personifed, and, like all the Fixed News chicks, not pretty.

That woman will do anything for ratings. She also lynched the Atlantic Monthly editor for the scary McCain photos. She's not that cute.

I was always under the impression that US reporters were much more deferential and softball with their victims than the UK attack dog style of Jeremy Paxman, John Humphreys et al. This interview seemed much worse than anything I've heard on the BBC... is that normal, or just normal for Fox?

I think these people are all bitter that they spent eight years defending W. and the religious right, and now look where they are.
Just wait till Obama gets in and none of their nightmare scenarios come to pass--will they ever be pissed then!
Posted by: David D. | Oct 28, 2008 10:58:16 AM
She is NOT a c*nt or a douche bag, etc. etc. The amount of comments against women turn my stomach. I can be an Obama supporter without having to kill the messenger with offensive remarks. Shameful.
On the other hand Burton kicked ass.

What a C*NT!

She not being very unbiased in this clip is she?
She's slipped from "professional newscaster" to ignorant spokesperson.
she's going after him like a hungry dog. That's what's shameful.

Who is reinforcing her viewpoints with supportive emails?!!! Let's send her a few ourselves:
