Fox News has been essentially a media relations firm for the Republican Party for many years, but this is ridiculous even by Fox News standards (what standards they have). Fox News, working hard to be critical of President Barack Obama (nothing new there), went on the attack using information taking right out of a press release from Republicans (including a typo) to be used in attacking economic stimulus package under the guise of trying to show how it was born and how it has developed. Anchor John Scott confidently read the Republican talking points as graphics popped up on the screen all but outlying the GOP game plan for the American people. We can thank Keith Olbermann and Media Matters for calling out Fox News on this parroting.
