Talk About Stiff Competition

Media Matters has a new poll: The Worst Media Moment of Obama's First 100 Days.

They're all pretty appalling, but my vote had to go to the unctuous Cody Willard of Fox News covering one of the tea parties:



This entire day of slobbering coverage should prove to even the most brickheaded observer that Fox has no purpose other than promoting and aiding the right wing; calling themselves a "news network" is a fucking joke. But this moment is the cherry on the shit sundae; the moment when all of the lies and hysteria stand howling and naked for all to see. If this is what passes for the news in this country (and remember, this was presented as news reporting, not an opinion piece), the media is dead, folks.
