Fox News talking head, famous professional pundit, and apologist for the Cheney-Bush-Rove Cabal Charles Krauthammer, aka The Vampire, finally busted loose from a career of crafting false analogies, creaking moralisms, half truths, outrageous distortions, and outright lies by forgetting himself momentarily and letting slip a profound truth.
Yesterday during remarks he made as he accepted the New York Post's Westbrook Pegler Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism, Kraphammer referred to the Fox News Network by noting that:
"What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality."
Damn, that's well put. I couldn't have said it better myself.
He went on to explain that because fascists and reactionaires like himself don't like the reality that's reported on the front page of the New York Times, they should create their own damn reality, which is what Fox News and the remnant of the Republican Party have done. It's a reality in which, for example, Barack Obama is responsible for the entire national debt.
Good work, Chuck. It's nice to hear the truth slipping out from between your fangs for once, even if it was unintentional. Now, get back in your coffin, otherwise you're going to get caught out in the daylight.

Huh, and they accuse liberals of being postmodernists. Bizarre. But not surprising, more like Ministry of Information bizarre, vis-a-vis the recent election "results" in Iran, for instance.
