Jesus, does anything ever go right in this turd country anymore? Poverty lines the streets of America knee-deep with roasted turd chips everywhere you turn. Totally, totally, *head shake*, Fox Nation is with y’all there. They just read this terrible study they will post about, because the study says it found that “child poverty increased in 38 states from 2000 to 2009. As a result, 14.7 million children, 20%, were poor in 2009. That represents a 2.5 million increase from 2000, when 17% of the nation’s youth lived in low-income homes” blah blah that is so terrible, is anyone at all paying attention to this societal depravity, like Fox Nation? See how bad things got from 2000 to 2009? That was a pretty tragic decade. Yeah, what the hell, Obama?
Oh fine, the Fox Nation editors accidentally remembered that 9/11 was in 2001, NEVER FORGET, before Obama took office in 2009, and the headline now reads a very boring, “Study: 1 in 5 American Children Living in Poverty.”
Maybe their own story summary under the headline was the first clue?
And here is something from the study on child poverty, to make you cry yourself to sleep:
In the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s first examination of the impact of the recession on the nation’s children, the researchers concluded that low-income children likely will suffer academically, economically and socially long after their parents have recovered.
“People who grew up in a financially secure situation find it easier to succeed in life; they are more likely to graduate from high school, more likely to graduate from college, and these are things that will lead to greater success in life,” said Stephen Brown, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “What we are looking at is a cohort of kids, who, as they become adults, may be less able to contribute to the growth of the economy. It could go on for multiple generations.”
How weird is it that Fox News can only be shamed into writing an actual journalistic headline when they realize they may have accidentally made fun of George W. Bush? [Media Matters]

Where's the Fox Headline "OSAMA IGNORES WARNING OF OBAMA ATTACK"?
WHY DID OBAMA GETS US INTO WAR IN IRAQ?
INTERNET STOCKS TANK UNDER OBAMA!
POSTAL EMPLOYEES DRIVEN TO SHOOTY MADNESS BY OBAMA
EARTHQUAKE HITS SAN FRANCISCO DURING WORLD SERIES… WERE OBAMA (AND THE GAYS) TO BLAME?
OBAMA DRAWS US INTO UNWINNABLE WAR WITH GERMANY
And after reality can no longer be denied:
OBAMA TAX CUTS DESTROY ECONOMY
GLOBAL TEMPS, SEA LEVELS, SURGE UNDER OBAMA
OUR CHILDREN ISN'T LEARNING UNDER OBAMA
ZOMG ELEBENTY. The mainstream Meejyuh is among us.
"POSTAL EMPLOYEES DRIVEN TO SHOOTY MADNESS BY OBAMA"
Well, to be strictly fair, that's also been true of the last five or six presidents.
Fox is probably trying to forget Osama bin Laden existed since that outcry of how awful Obama was for ordering the hit kind of resonated poorly with the mentally stable.
well tobe honest Osama did ignore Obama,, and he is dead now
Maybe Fox is finally having buyers remorse.
Hacker's remorse maybe. I've been there, but it was a long long time ago in galaxy far far, no wait it was this galaxy. And it was only a couple a decades ago.
Troll's remorse – it never lasts.
Can we just foreclose on Fox now?
You know, if I had any balls, I'd seal off the Fox Nation Headquarters building–wherever that is–and pump some cyanide into the vents and let nature take its course. But I don't. Damn.
Actaully just sealing off the vents would cause a lot of problems w/o any actual added poison.
Death by flatulence.
FOX FALLS TO FIENDISH FART FOLLY
A NY Post headline.
Fabulous!
Fox newsies produce their own hot air.
I would like to paint a hitler mustache on them.
Do you have computer hacking skills, or know someone who does? Freezing their assets ought to do the trick…
Good news for meth dealers!
Amazing, ain't it, how successful cutting taxes on the rich and butchering financial regulation made the great U.S. of A? Ain't it??
Yeh – Mr. Obama's $700B stimulus package was about 40% tax CUTS. Yet the right wing nutz continue to rant and rave it didn't work.
December 2010: Bush tax cuts for the uber-wealthy extended. Yet the right wing nutz continue to rant and rave they didn't work.
Yet the T-Baggers want more tax cuts.
Whiskey Tango Foxtwat?
"December 2010: Bush tax cuts for the uber-wealthy extended. Yet the right wing nutz continue to rant and rave they didn't work."
They only worked when Bush did them, not when that *other* guy (if you know who I mean) did them.
If you're lucky, Fox News will aggregate their news (steal blindly and lazily from our very own Wonkette, even, without even knowing it, the dumb fucks)…then pick up your post verbatim…use it as their very own news lede…and then you can SUE 'em for plagiarism! Or just mock them for being dumb fucks! USA! USA!
*sigh.* THere was a time when schaden freude'ing itself was fun to watch.
"Is our Fox Nooz windbags learning?"
They're probably going to ask you to repeat the question.
That's Dr. Shaden Freud to you, sir!
Well, their viewers aren't exactly the sharpest pencils in the box, so what harm could disinformation do?
They seem more like "flesh" colored crayons than dull pencils.
They sure like the flesh colored crayons better than the brown ones, if you know what I mean.
What harm? In about [looks at watch] three hours from now, I will receive the following email from my Aunt Deb: "FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: ALERT!!!1! HUSSEIN OBAMA IS BRINGING ARE NATION TO IT'S KNEES! POVERTY AT ALL TIME HIGH! IMPEECH!"
Isn't that what spam filters are for?
Wait, spam filter? I was just hitting "Reply All" and sharing some of my prime gay porn with the other recipients.
I did similar. I never got another.
Upfist! It's funny cuz it's true.
OMG, I think we're cousins!
My heartfelt sympathies.
and somebody once said community organizers never actually do anything… That Obama guy is sneaky.
That may be true, but he did oversee our successful mission to put a man on the moon.
But did he give that man a return ticket?
Not so fast. Obama headed the cover-up of the faked moon landing.
Which was shot in Kenya and Indonesia in an unused mosque.
Yeah, but on the flipside he lost the Vietnam War for us.
It was never lost because it was never a war. Natch.
Damn right that uppity negro is responsible. This is what happens when you vote for the coloreds. Also, too. Hey, anyone know of an anchor openings at Fox News? I have a bottle of bleach and a new pushup bra, so I think this pretty much makes me qualified.
From reading your post it appears you can write in English. That would mean you are way over qualified for Fox.
I'm pretty sure I can self-inflict a head injury and mangle my ability to write in English.
I think that would help with sleeping with Roger Ailes part of the interview.
Save your noggin: just type with boxing-gloves on, & let the in-house FOX 5000 Editorial-Bot do the rest.
If you have a screechy voice that makes people want to stab their own ears, you've probably got a good shot.
Do you know that percentages typically add to 100?
Disqualified.
(more or less, rounding depending, yeah yeah, pedantic too)
There's an IQ test involved, and you're gonna find yourself disqualfied pretty quickly.
I would be more than happy to take you through the Loofah/Falafel training that you will need to work for Bill O'Reilly.
Anchors, babies, news…News Anchor Babies! Build the danged fourth wall!
"Damn right that uppity negro is responsible. This is what happens when you vote for the coloreds."
Of course that's true.
But the larger point, and one that fox made every day for eight years, is that Bush can do no wrong, and that nobody named Bush, or in the same wealth percentile as Bush, is ever responsible for their actions.
Oh like FOX gives a flying fuck about anyone living in poverty.
They give a flying fuck about Concern Trolling, which is almost the same thing, right?
Wait, what poverty? All these ingrates have TV's, microwaves, cell phones, fast food and Air Jordans.
And air conditioning! Those patrician swine!
That was last week. This week poverty is bad, and it is Obama's fault.
True. We must always remember IOKIYAR.
What, you don't have it tattooed on the knuckles of your right hand?
Soshulist.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
The sad thing is those who are low-income, and suffered academically, economically and socially sounds like the Republican voting base.
I know! It never ceases to amaze me. They'll vote for someone whose intention is to completely fuck them over just cause they have nice tits or a pickup truck or whatever and can shout inane talking points convincingly.
that is why simplistic messages like, government is the problem…resonates with them….can't reason beyond a big Mac..
And a historian earlier was trying to morph Obama and Bush into the same guy. These folks would love to tag a democrat with all of the shit Bush pulled and they plan to pull when they lie their way back to power.
The level of lying at Fox News is stunning, I mean it ranks up with the classic, Bush didn't do it, Obama did. So there na na na na. Insert Journey lyrics here.
Not a historian. Just another "pundit."
"Insert Journey lyrics here."
He's just a rich kid Bush
Dumber than a rhino's tush.
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere.
I actually have nothing to say about this, except bless their little, stupid, shriveled racist teatarded hearts.
So close! I was just about to say, bust their little, stupid, shriveled racist teatarded heads.
Head, heart. Who cares as long as I get to put the hurt on them.
Bless their hearts, then bust their heads.
Sounds fair and balanced to me.
Fox News reporting errors dropped 187% during the same period.
The real shame is how Obama got that Vietnam War deferment– too busy with that fancy elementary school education of his.
Which he got with affirmative action, natch.
My understanding is he was in Southeast Asia, learning to be a Muslim, Kenyan, communist spy and plotted to get a elected.
I thought only American Citizens were subject to the draft.
Unlike Brave Sir Rush Limbaugh who was dying in agony from a zit on his enormous ass.
To feel shame, one must possess a conscience.
Well, according to our supreme court, all corporations do.
"To feel shame, one must possess a conscience."
And, and!
A certain level of sentient brain function?
Make sure Wikipedia is locked.
Fun to look at the Wiki on 2nd Amendment history. Gun nuts have turned it into a screed in favor of more guns, all the time, all through history. Gun ownership springs from your right to continue existing, in case you didn't know.
“What we are looking at is a cohort of kids, who, as they become adults, may be less able to contribute to the growth of the economy. It could go on for multiple generations.”
Female Reporter: It started off boring and slow with Not Sure trying to bullshit everyone with a bunch of smart talk: 'Blah blah blah. You gotta believe me!' That part of the trial sucked! But then the Chief J. just went off. He said, 'Man, whatever! The guy's guilty as shit! We all know that.' And he sentenced his ass to one night of rehabilitation.
Some people say Obama caused Watergate, the Bay of Pigs and the Quake of 1906…
Just like he took over the US Embasy in Tehran, dropped the first bomb on Pearl Harbor and set the explosives that blew up the USS Maine.
Nevah fergit!
John Wilkes Obama
Some say that Obama was responsible for the overthrow of the Czar, and the spread of syphilis into Europe.
No, I spread the syphilis. And are my balls tired.
You know, they say Mrs. O'Leary's cow caused the Great Chicago Fire, but now I'm not so sure…
I also saw Obama dancing with Sarah Good and the devil in the pale moonlight. also.
Didn't you guys know that being a muslin gives you powers of time travel?
What's more unbelievable is that Fox Nation purports to care about child poverty.
child-fetus, same thing.
"A fetus is a person until it's born. Then it can go fuck itself." — Peter Griffin
Just THREE WORDS: Lusitania, Hindenberg and Titanic
Show me the proof Obama WASN'T involved!
I've never heard him deny it
And thus it'd be irresponsible not to speculate.
He is a man of wealth and taste, after all…
Remeber the Maine!
You know what else soared under Obama? Blatant fucking racism and casual dumbfuckery, that's what. Fox News and its viewers are the major culprits behind this rise.
That's a typo; it should say "Hip-hop Poverty Soars Under Obama."
I understand that Obama is responsible for my honey being on the rag this week, also.
It could worse… He could be responsible for her not being on the rag.
Lulz…
Touché, Mr. Tihond, touché
"Not intended to be a factual report."
"Some unsettling of contents may occur during spinning."
*Not intended to be an actual news network.
No fucking shit. Goebbels would be proud, Orwell too.
How can poverty be soaring when Obama is giving everything to these people?
I'm tellin' ya. I'm still trying to figure out why the cognitive dissonance doesn't make their collective head go boom.
Because once you give away our hard earned money that we worked for to Those People (if you know who I mean), They run right out and spend it on jazz, reefers, and molesting white women.
Put aside the normal propaganda of FOX News. Isn't it always interesting that the states that are most effected by, say, child poverty, malnutrition, low test scores, etc. etc. etc. all tend to be Southern, Republican Control, and put lowering taxes ahead of government actions.
Must be all the damn Mexicans.
It's clearly all endogenous geographic factors, and it's just A MASSIVE COINCIDENCE that they happen to be the states where conservative policy positions have had a monopoly for decades.
Also, the link between lax gun laws and murder rates is totally because all the murders mean everyone needs to have a gun. There's no way that causation works the other way- all the murders are just because people just happen to be particularly ornery, in those particular states.
Uh, you forgot teh gheys, teaching evolution, and the omnipresent "War on Christmas."
"Must be all the damn Mexicans. "
That would be mildly funny, if it wasn't EXACTLY the excuse they actually use.
if he keeps this up, pretty soon FOX will be saying 'obama (R, IL)'.
Generally speaking, the ClusterFox "network" has the reliability of a chain email.
From your elderly aunt with the mental health problem.
I am waiting for the FOX news report on how Obama lost us Vietnam, and how his taking us off the gold standard led to the current economic state we are in.
Do you have documented proof he didn't?
Obama also personally advised General Custer that taking on 1,800 really pissed of American Indians with his 600 calvary men was an "excellent idea."
Well clearly he was responsible for Pearl Harbor.
And George Armstrong Custer, too, also.
And who lost us China?
Or gave the A-Bomb to the Russkies?
Hell, I understand he was responsible for Cubans and Nicaraguans invading Colorado in the 80s.
I sure wish the Cubans and the Nicaraguans had taken the Texans along with them when they were finally driven out of Colorado.
He also did the ghey takeover of Alpine County CA in 1970.
THIS.
I love that. I'm going to hang it on my door to piss off the neighbors.
THAT.
I love you Bunny!
Oh, this is good.
Faux News : "fair and balanced" :: North Korea : democratic republic
Fox News : News :: Shit : Shinola
Looks the same, but smells worse. Yeah, you've got it nailed.
Concise. Would award many upfists.
Now all I have is this chair.
I'm still waiting on them to write Michelle Bachmann (D)…
You know who *else* increased poverty when he wasn't president?
Charles Gordon-Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond?
Randolph and Mortimer Duke?
Umm … Couldn't possibly be Hitler, right?
I'm gonna go with Ngo Dinh Diem.
St. Francis of Assisi?
AOTK
OT but may I point out that Melissa Harris-Perry is hawwtt! Love the lisp.
Ha ha, my partner just mentioned that her lisp is what bothers him. It's not actually a lisp, more like she has braces or a 'device'. Wev, doesn't bother me at all.
It's funny, because I didn't notice her lisp until very recently, for some reason. It's endearing, for sure.
Fox Nation Seems To Be Implying Obama Has Been President Since 2000
No. But sometimes it feels like it's been that long.
In FoxNews Land, effects precede causes! Everything is backwards! Like, the Bible is really a story about how Jesus, when confronted by people who want love and peace, restores the rule of bloodthirsty Bronze and Iron Age monarchs who slaughter each other relentlessly.
OK really? Show of hands, who HASN'T been an impoverished child.
Well, I'd like to surge under Obama, but nobody asked me.
Clearly the answer is more home skoolin and less public edumacashun.
ACTUAL, GENUINE LIBEL!!!!!!!
And yet I get e-mails calling Obama arrogant for using "I" in his speech to the nation about the death of Osama bin Laden…
"Annie E. Casey Foundation"
ITS CASEY ANTHONY ON DISGUISE !!!!!
"Please Sir, may I have more?"
Other Fox headlines and ledes:
"Obama Determined to Attack in United States"
"Oval Office To Be Reconstructed As Gay Triangle Office"
"Out-of-State Black Man Draws Stares on Martha's Vineyard"
"Indo-Kenyan Usurper Fronts Money to Somali (government) Pirates"
FOX W NEWS, ONLY STUPIDS GET IT
Trig doesn't
Actually Trig is the Palin family member that probably DOES get it.
They just figure their followers are so stupid that they'll parrot any talking point, even if entirely false.
And they're right.
Where in the Constitution does it say we have to take care of kids?
Everyone knows that FDR's election in 1932 caused the 1929 stock market crash, how is this any different?
See also 2007-08 subprime mortgage crisis and Obama, Barack.
I'd never occurred to me in a million years Rush would say something dishonest just to make Obama look bad.
♫ Let the Po-o-o-o-verty Soar! ♫
You know, I'd much rather be an impoverished child than a morally bankrupt Fox employee, but that's just me.
And I thought Rupert Murdock and his silver-spoon son were lying sacks of shit, …..oh wait , thats right. There is a pathological reason (condition) for this, they just can't help it, and probably even believe what they are saying at this point
What's that? You say Obama wasn't President then? Bush was? Okay, fine. They can share the blame. That's fair and balanced[tm].
Remember some fellow in the midwest during a McCain townhall who said he was afraid to bring up his to-be-born child in an Obama-America?.
you see, now his child is poor due to the reparitions Obama has been paying to the black kids…
I see nowhere in the constitution that says children should be rich!!
I'm sort of almost shocked by this.
After reading this (misleading) headline, you really have to wonder about the collective intelligence of the Faux News staff.
By posting statistics like this, Faux is once again demonstrating the absolute and utter shit-show of the Bush 44 presidency, while implying that (somehow) Obama is responsible for the dramatic increase in child poverty from 2000-2009.
FOX FNC has a real big problem with their GOP candidate polls too
they keep getting landslides for Dr Ron and people take screenshots
arugula eating bastard…while he has been president for the last 12 years this country has gone to shit. Hell, even Rudy Guilliani said it best, 'there was never a terrorist attack under the Bush administration".
Fucktards.
Liberal socialists with their arugula eating agendas. And his wife hates fat people too.
WHY DID OBAMA LET 9/11 HAPPEN?!
Limpbaugh claims damn food stamps ineffective while the "real" report says food stamps, unemployment insurance and foreclosure meditation have acted like a dam against poverty.
Dang, I got a local Emmy winning Christian clown sicked on me by my cousin after one of my reply all adventures.
Too Catholic.
Also, Steve Buscemi, not Michele, is Batboy.
