Fox News calls out NY Times on journalistic integrity?

Here’s an article on the Democratic primary, headline reads:

FOX News Poll: Obama Has Slim Edge Over McCain, Half Would Never Vote for Clinton

If Clinton wins the nomination, 63 percent of Democrats think she should pick Obama as her running mate. If Obama wins, fewer Democrats think he should choose Clinton — though still a 54 percent majority.

This 50% number has been floating around for some time now, maybe even a year.  I’m not sure if they even went through the trouble of redoing the poll and what their methodology was, but it’s a curious headline considering that both Democrats probably have the nod over any Republican they run against.  The “Half would never vote for Clinton” seems calculated and another propaganda push by the Rupert Murdoch driven outlet.

If you don’t believe that’s the case, just take a look at the closing lines of this article on electability.

Who is Usama Rooting For?

Who does Usama bin Laden want to be the next president? More people think the terrorist leader wants Obama to win (30 percent) than think he wants Clinton (22 percent) or McCain (10 percent). Another 18 percent says it doesn’t matter to bin Laden and 20 percent are unsure

As far as the deciders at Fox News are concerned, this isn’t one nation under God, or the United States of America, this is the Divided States of America and they aim to keep it that way.   What kind of idiot asks this sort of question and considers it newsworthy?  The terrorists want a Democrat in office, we get it.  Without Republicans rolling the billions into the private sector and military industrial complex, we’d have a 9/11 every Wednesday and twice on Sunday, we get it.
