Fox Caught Making Up “Breaking News” in Order to Cut Away From Obama

Fox is trying to figure out how to look “fair and balanced” while showing as little of President Obama as possible. Their priority No. 1 is not to let their viewers start liking the guy. Example: today they cut away to a “perfectly fine airplane landing” that turned out to be nothing, later justifying it by saying they “heard the plane might be having flap issues.”
Yeah right.
When George W. was president they covered his every breath. They would break away — with lots of patriotic fanfare (remember the waving flag graphics?) — to show his every move, even mundane things like Bush walking from the back door of the White House to his waiting helicopter. They would even break away to show Laura Bush doing this or that. They couldn’t get enough.
Watch the video of what happened today here.
