Faux News, Caught, Again

Think Progress points out who is using the latest republican talking point.

Conservative defenders of Karl Rove and Scooter Libby have settled on their No. 1 talking point: the grand jury investigation into the CIA leak scandal represents the "criminalization of politics."


But the investigation of adultery was all about law and order, right.

According to a database search, every single television reference to the CIA leak scandal as the "criminalization of politics" in the last 30 days has been on Fox. Even more stunning: on every occassion, the phrase was introduced into the segment by a Fox News anchor or correspondent, never by a guest.


Only on Fox, only by Fox's talking heads.

That speaks volumes about just how deeply Faux is tied to the Republican party.

Faux, we lie and spin, you are confused.
