Fox News Runs GOP Press Release as Headline Story

I love this, just absolutely love it. Fox News' front page headline news item on its website right now is none other than a press release from Republican Minority Leader John Boehner.

The best part is the caption below their gimmickry that reads: "Obama inherited the Bush budget, but with stimulus spending, bank and car company rescues, tax cuts ... it's all gotta be paid for, and as of April 26, the bank's broke."

NO, President Obama inherited not just the Bush budget but the Bush deficit which just so happens to be the largest deficit in human history, a detail conveniently left out of Fox News' John Boehner's story.

What's wrong with just admitting Obama inherited a $1.4 trillion deficit? The bank was broke long before Obama came along. It's bad enough Fox News is running a GOP press release as a factual front page story but at least have the gall to admit Republicans had it all screwed up before he ever stepped foot in the White House.
