Fox News Sunday Says What Scooter Libby Did Was a Crime

Last week, I made a video showing how the people on Fox News couldn't seem to use the word "crime" to describe the multiple criminal convictions of Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Still, I kept watching Fox News looking for use of the "forbidden word," and this video is the result.

And, FYI, you can listen to the entire June 10 episode of Fox News Sunday in the MP3 podcast available at: http://media2.foxnews.com/podcasts/061007_fns_podcast_128.mp3

Personally, i believe you have caught someones attention. This is fairly obvious if go through some of the comments on your videos which are clear attempts at smearing your often insightful & valid points. keep up the good work.

They are intelligent researchers, and they are mindful of the media. You do a good job, and become a top video, of course they will notice you(and there's no flattery in that). You revealed something really embarrassing. Of course they would respond. Hell, Chris Crocker got his 15 minutes here. Why not you?

first off, i think once fox lifted the ban on the word they all had to vent, and second, if your suffering from psychosis then what are the people who are trying to debunk u suffering from?

@gungfu777 It's true. I have a good deal of experience in media, both TV in radio. It does happen all the time. TV stations do an obsessive amount of research on their viewers' responses and opinions. It's called "Opinion Research" and is done through many means including focus groups, surveys, and viewing of other stations, websites, and other media outlets.

Yet Fox News is still allowed to be called news. Pathetic.

Anyone who watches Faux News should have their academic diplomas and degrees revoked.

@2erict Why shouldn't he flatter himself? He's probably right. In the previous clips they went out of their way to avoid using the word 'crime'. He made the effort to Youtube and it was damning. Like they would do a full show days later with the same tactic? They would have looked like complete clowns. He was never going to serve prison time and that's why they tried avoiding the use of the word 'crime' in the first place. Good job Liberal Viewer.

Liddy is nothing but Cheney foot soldier , Cheney committed treason and should be convicted

[Neanderthalcouzin]

Fox News?

Total wank.

[2erict]

don't flatter yourself.

[goldenskatearmy]

this guy never has thought he would effect fox news. fox news is a corporate giant which has the biggest impact out of every network around, which is sad because of its republican propaganda...

[gungfu777]

Some people commenting are out of zink with the media. People where do you think cable news gets 80% of there information? The web!! Trust me the other video got back to fox and they made the change. Happnes all the time.

[bigchew14]

I think you are right in the sense that it is very difficult to influence Fox News. They will 99% of the time say what they want. When you refer to "something bigger" do you mean to say that a detail so minute as weather Fox News acknowledges Libby's crimes as what they are is so big that several thousand people can't change it?

[FairMindedCitizen]

This video is a follow-up video to your other one since Fox News says Libby and "crime" in the same sentence. In your previous video you said they were avoiding the word "crime" to refer to Libby's criminal conviction. Could this be a simple case of CYA...?

[CowboyGP]

What I think is that when one's success or failure hinges on public opinion, paying attention to trends on a site like youtube only makes sense. Do I think they will make changes to accomodate the makers of the videos? No. I think they might make changes to avoid losing some of their less fervent supporters.

[FairMindedCitizen]

"I hardly think it is presumptuous to believe that politicians and pundits are paying attention." So you really believe that FOX News is paying attention to these little youtube videos (this one only has 6K views) and as a result are changing their "orders" to accomodate and satify these small fish with Tivo, PC and editing software? I don't, the odd's of having a mental disorder are probably better.

[CowboyGP]

FairMinded: The last Democratic debate was co-sponsored by, and the questions asked by YouTube members. I hardly think it is presumptuous to believe that politicians and pundits are paying attention.

[CowboyGP]

If only you could learn to write the words "the", "you", "are", "and", and "they". I might take you more seriously. I don't disagree with your message necessarily, but Life is not a text message.

[FairMindedCitizen]

I think this video is misleading because it seems to give the impression that you might be able to influence Fox News' behaviour with your videos. Was this just a cheesey attempt to get more people to comment on the videos and answer your questions by letting them think they are part of something bigger, like influencing Fox News?

[BloggerMusicMan]

All news is biased and sensational. FOX is a little worse then the other but still. How often do you hear things like "Man shot dead in front of son." Why do we need to know that he was shot infront of his son? Just to "spice it up" make it a little more sad for you? That's what I hate in the news.

Not the first generation....

Guys do u realize how much of a difference we're making? Mainstream media can no longer hide da facts n control da message as dey have been for da past century! We r putting tremendous pressure on previously Zionistic propaganda machines such as Cnn, ABC, NBC, n CBS 2 provide more balanced, credible, n objective reporting. We r askin da tough questions. Now those stil sellin d hawkish agenda like FOX News, r isolated, out dated, n government manipulated

[y2kmicroboy]

No. Faux News would have had your video removed immediately for copyright infringement and then sued your ass. haha. As much as that sounds like I'm joking, I'm 100% serious.

[grudgekeeper]

Honestly, i cant see if someone has the countrys best intrest in mind, even a republican, (who let me say do they just have different ideas of achieving it) how does this act of commuting the sentence not appaul you and raise some red flags?

[killerfurby33]

what burns me the most about this whole issue, is that when they found Clinton guilty of perjury and obstructing justice, the conservatives got rabid and tried to impeach him and pin several other baseless crimes to Clinton, but when Scooter was found guilty of the same thing, his conservative friends raise 5 million dollars to pay for his legal fees and his fine, the president commutes his sentence in prison, and now they're trying to get rid of his probation time.
