In a stunning development, soon to hit Drudge Report, Fox News will be changing their name to RNN, the Republican News Network. For years, it has been clear that Fox has been "in the tank" for the RNC and the GOP while claiming to present fair and balanced news.
More of this shocking development after the fold
In a shocking news development that, oddly enough, is only being reported on Fox News, the formally 'fair and balanced' news station is deciding to close its doors. In its place will be the newly coined "Republican News Network." RNN will not run republican talking points and when Democrats are brought on the air, they will be yelled at and given next to no respect.
RNN's most popular figure, Bill O'Reilly, brought on Democratic Senator Barney Frank, to discuss some of the recent bailout talks. And unlike in the past, when Fox News would give Democrats a chance to speak, O'Reilly really let Barney have it:
As recently as October 9th, just moments after the changeover, John Stewart reported on some of RNN's new found taste for the Republican Party:
RNN host Sean Hannity, following the 2nd Presidential Debate decided to take his shot at Republican Talking Points, and got PWND on national TV:
In order to understand that sheer madness that this changeover has caused, we'll hear from some of the most well respected names from, what RNN calls, the liberal media.
Wolf Blizter, host of CNN's Situation Room said:
This move is unprecedented and shocking. To think that Fox News will now be stealing CNN's idea for putting "new network" at the end of their name is despicable. On a good note, RNN will be taking CNN's slogan and altering it to 'The Most Unreliable Name in News.'
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, in last nights special comment said:
Fox news has, time and time again, resorted to the sleaziest fear-mongering and mass manipulation I have ever seen. Changing your name to RNN, while shocking, does not change the pathetic attempt at journalism that they attempt to employ on a daily basis. RNN, Fox News, it doesn't matter, its all the same bullcrap, now its just packaged in what it really has always been, Republican talking points.
A recent poll, hosted on the Drudge Report website, posited the question: Which channel is the most fair and balanced, Fox News actually edged out RNN by the slimmest of margins. This begs the question: Did the news network do the right thing? Will RNN become a joke and a laughing stock of cable television? Or will RNN strive to be the best republican news network on tv.
"The Most Unreliable Name in News" will always be RNN.
