Fox News "F#@$#d Up," Fox Hits Barkley On Gambling Debts

Charles Barkley, the former NBA star, 2014 candidate for Alabama Governor, and one-time proud Republican, trashed Fox News in an interview with television trade publication Broadcasting & Cable, saying the network is "fucked up" and "corrupt," and that he prefers CNN.

"I watch CNN, they're not fucked up like Fox," Barkley told B&C. "They are a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. I watch [Fox] a couple times when there is someone I want to see on there. But they're corrupt."


When asked whether he is just shilling for his parent company (TNT and CNN are corporate cousins), Barkley denies that he has to stick up for his team.


"Hell no, I don't," he says. "I like Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper and John King. They at least try to give both sides."

But Fox News Channel doesn't see it that way, as a network spokesperson fired back immediately.


"It's hardly a surprise that Charles is a shill for a Turner owned network.... He obviously needs the steady paycheck to pay off his consistent gambling debts," the spokesperson told B&C.

McCain Says Racism Will Barely Affect The Election

TAMPA, Fla. — Republican presidential candidate John McCain says racism will play virtually no role when voters head to the polls next Tuesday because it will be trumped by the nation's economic problems.

In a transcript of an interview taped for broadcast Wednesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live," McCain said people will vote "for the best of reasons, not the worst of reasons." He said most people will vote based on who they want to lead the country.

Referring to people who might vote against Democrat Barack Obama because he is black, McCain added: "It would be a tiny, tiny, minority. Because people are hurting too much now. I mean, they're worried about staying in their homes, keeping their jobs."

McAncient and the UN-VETTED ONE spent the past 2 months "STIRRING UP A RACIALLY CHARGED ENVIRONMENT - EVERYWHERE THEY WENT!!"

Annnnnnnnd, I'm NOT SURE that they didn't participate, in some way, in the ALLEGED/PHONY "B"-CARVING HOAX!!!

YET - he has the NERVE to attempt to deny the reality of the influence of RACISM on this race!!

WHAT A LIAR!!! YUK!!!

Obama-Biden '08!!! TRUST

P.S. There is a VIDEO.

Barack and Bill Make Their Stage Debut Together: (VIDEO)

Is this the happy ending to the fairy tale of Barack and Bubba?

Tonight, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton led a rally in Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida -- the long-anticipated debut of both men on the same stage .

"Look at this crowd! It's not only big it is highly diverse," said Clinton, who had been criticized for sometimes racially-charged comments during the Democratic primary. "You've even got a few old gray headed white guys like me. You haven't shut my demographic out yet."

The 42nd President praised Obama for picking Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate: "He hit that one out of the park folks.'' And he made a strong case for why current Democratic nominee should be sent to the White House. "Folks," he concluded, "we can't fool with this -- our country hangs in the balance... Folks, this man should be our president.''

Obama, saying he was proud to be friends with the Clintons, returned the praise repeatedly. "In case all of you forgot, this is what it's like to have a great president," he told the crowd. "We all wish the last eight years looked more like the Clinton years.''
Watch the rally:

At a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier this month, meanwhile, Clinton was equally effusive in his praise:

"Who's got the best ideas? Who's got the best instincts? Who's got the best ability to understand these challenges? Who's got the best supporting cast? The answer is Barack Obama and...that's why I'm here."

NOT A BAD RALLY! :>)
