Readers of News Corpse know that I work tirelessly to persuade Democrats and progressives to decline to appear on Fox News.

<\/td>\nFormer Democratic representative Harold Ford is now a Fox News Contributor. This allows Fox to have a face on screen with a “D” after his name and a derogatory swipe at a leading Democratic presidential candidate in the text below him. “Burgler”<\/em> is Fox’s pet name for Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton’s National Security Advisor.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFord also has the privilege of gracing the screen on the day Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. Fox takes this opportunity to slam Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth”<\/em> with a headline about a British court ruling that the documentary contains some inaccuracies. That ruling, by the way, was widely misinterpreted<\/a> and does nothing to discredit the film’s overall conclusions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I wonder if Ford knows how Fox decorated the screen during his broadcast. These examples vividly illustrate why Fox News should be shunned by serious people who don’t want to be taken advantage of by this disreputable purveyor of disinformation. This particular tactic reeks of recess in elementary school when a goofy friend stands behind you making faces. Ford should be ashamed for allowing himself to be used in this manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
