Dozens dead...hundreds injured...one great opportunity to stay 'on message' (or, "Yet another reason FOX blows")

Thanks to Media Matters for spotting it (and none to FOX "News" for voicing it):

KILMEADE: And he [British PM Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 --believe it or not-- was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it's important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.

VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.

KILMEADE: Yeah.

Whew. For a minute there, it looked like this administration was going to have to address (on the world stage, at that) issues on which the vast majority of our citizens know it to be completely full of shit. Thankfully, for the sake of the entire Western World (apparently), it's able to return focus to a stronger topic--one where only about half our citizens know it to be full of shit.

That was a close one, wasn't it, Brian?

Just when I think FOX's bootlicking can't get any more despicable (following their oh-so-obedient regurgitation of the continued Bush/Rove rhetorical rape of the 9/11 dead) they come out with something like this while bodies are still being pulled from the Underground. People are dead, a nation is in mourning, and all Brian Kilmeade sees is a soapbox for making withering comments about how utterly foolish it is to devote time to addressing the environment or crises in developing nations. His air of condescention is positively staggering.

"Believe it or not, they were going to address such-and-such."

As if to say, "Now, hopefully you silly people understand what we knew all along."

What everyone should understand is what sort of crass, opportunistic shilling is being passed off as jounalism by the FOXagandists.
