Pelosi introducing a bill to ban Fox News,,,,, page 1

Apparently Pelosi isn't happy with controlling the bulk of media. She now wants to stop Fox from covering Congressional sesions.Pelosi . So now ANYONE who dissents is to be silenced.... Someone needs to remove that crazy woman from her position. Ignorant and self defeating this line of thought takes us...but she is in her ivory tower and doesn't care.

Oct. 23, 2009 12:43 PM. This just in from Speaker of the House Pelosi. In an interview with MSNBC's Keith Olberman last night, Nancy Pelosi announced that she would move to bring a vote to the floor of The House of Representatives as early as next week to ban Fox from covering Congress. "That Fox regularly grants access to Republican Congressman to spread their lies and propaganda on their airwaves is a violation of the public trust, and their continued desire to challenge such well documented facts as Global Warming, and the efficacy of single payer health insurance, proves that they are simply doing the work of the special interests. They should thus be stripped of their journalistic access in the halls of Congress," argued Pelosi.

Original Source

It's a joke article about fictional events in the future, and the geniuses at OP's source took it seriously.


Pelosi would have to be insane to propose such a vote, although I wouldn't put it past her. However, this is entirely fictional and the title should be edited or given the [hoax] tags to reflect such.

Actually this is the source of the source:
www.hughhewitt.com...


I can't even find a transcript of this from MSNBC.


Edit to add:

I had a suspicion that this would be a hoax.

More bad news for Fox News ..... sort of.

Look at the date on this... Oct 28, 2009...
people. please pay attention to what your source is saying before you post something like this.

Um... did anyone happen to check out the link source of the information? Check out this link.

Now, if you look carefully, you may notice that this "news item" is dated for October 28, 2009. Now, anywhere on this planet, that date is in the future (it's only 4:00 AM CST on 10/26/09 as I write this). So this "news" is dated for this coming Wednesday. Does anyone find this even a teensy bit suspicious?

Moving right along, further down there is another news item, dated December of this year:

Dec. 9, 2009 8:03 AM. This just in from Adrian Fenty, the Mayor of Washington DC.

Mayor Adrian Fenty has given The Fox News Washington DC bureau 48 hours to clear out of it's offices on 400 North Capitol Street, or face fines and arrests. "Fox News doesn't belong in this town given it's inherent desire to question government's motive and intentions at every turn. Jobs and budgets are on the line, and I am compelled to invoke local police powers to eliminate a public hazard from our good city," wrote Fenty on today's Daily Kos. "They should set up shop somewhere where people believe what they believe, like somewhere in Texas." 

.

People, you've got to check out your sources before getting all worked up. *ESPECIALLY* if something sounds exactly like you've always suspected or believed. There's a good chance it's satire or nonsense.

Check your facts. It's not that difficult. All I had to do was click on a link and I was taken directly to the silly page.
