Wha.....?!?!?

Fox News Falsely Claims Media Have Ignored Sen. Reid’s Land Deal

Fox News is arguing that the media are “ignoring questions about Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) land deal.”

On Tuesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity told right-wing pundit Bob Novak that “you don’t see as much in the newspapers about this [the Reid land deal], Bob Novak, and I wonder if it would be the same if it was a Republican.” Bob Novak agreed, calling it “one of those strange things.”

But in reality, the media have extensively covered the Reid land deal, while ignoring the $207 million earmark House Speaker Dennis Hastert inserted into the 2005 highway bill that greatly increased the value of his property in Illinois:

– CNN has devoted 50 times as much coverage to Reid’s case as to Hastert’s.

– According to a Lexis-Nexis database search, Fox News has mentioned the Reid land deal nine times, but has brought up the Hastert deal just three.

Wow! These creeps honestly believe that their viewers live in a cave or get their news solely from Fox (about the same thing).
Even someone who just walks by a newstand once a week would know that this was complete bs!
