inothernews: So how does the Fox “News” Channel try to aid and abet Mitt Romney’s campaign, already mired in controversy over 49 minutes worth of candid, damn-the-47-percent, I-wish-I-was-Latino talk? By ginning up “controversy” over a “1998 audio clip that purports to feature Obama saying he believes in wealth ‘redistribution.’” Really. “Fair and balanced” in action. I brought this video up to my super conservative dad, to see what his super conservative self thinks about this. But I was surprised because he cut me off and said, “Oh, that him distributing the wealth video? Yeah, I saw that the other day.” I said, “But it’s just on FOX and Drudge now. What are you talking about?” He said, “Yeah, I’m on all these weird right wing mailing lists. One of them sent me that link on Friday or something, I’ve already seen it. I don’t really care though.” So apparently this was making the rounds in conservative circles over the weekend before today which I just find kind of weird.
