Fox news is caught providing false information about prospective presidential candidates

This blog will mostly be about current political issues and will also comment on humourous occurences that take place throughout the current political landscape.

The three main issues of the week.

1. Fox news mistakenly reports John Mcain as being democrat. The network goes on to Claim that it was a product of incompetence and that it was purely accidental. The truth is that it seemed more coincidental than accidental. While this is not a republican blog it still seems slimy for a media outlet to be able to falseify information for it's own interests. Are their any thougths on this?

2. John Stewart and Stephen Colbert engage in street fight with Conan Obrian as talk show hosts debate who started Mike Huckabee. Colbert beats conan with trash can and later is subsequently defeated by Mike Huckabee in air hockey combat. Will Colbert bump huckabee to victory and become vice president? Wouldn't you vote for huckabee if colbert ran as vice president? He would certainly be better than cheney. Furthermore i request a steel cage match between these 3 talk show hosts.

3. It is looking to me as if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may be the Democratic Presidential ticket. I think that if they were to run, the combination of voter bases they have would be a secured victory. With Mitt Romney dropping out this week, The republicans have mostly chosen their nominee. (even if they do not like him). Hillary and Barack have mostly the same views with a few minor differences, and as we have seen they have been strangely non-combatant in recent debates. It will be interesting to see what develops in the next week, now that super tuesday was non- decisive for the Democratic side. (massachussets and california aside.)
