Fox News Has Technical Difficulty While Reporting Obama ‘Tech-phobia’

On Fox News’ America Live this afternoon, Megyn Kelly and Brit Hume were discussing President Obama‘s remarks about tech devices like the iPad, casting him as a tech-phobic hypocrite who uses the devices himself, when Hume suddenly vanished from the screen, leaving Kelly to jokingly conclude that maybe the President was on to something, or was even responsible for the outage.

Kelly and Hume do the hard journalistic work of providing evidence that the President enjoys using the technology that they say he also condemns. Although the segment was tongue-in-cheek, perhaps it serves them right that it got cut off. The idea that the President was condemning technology relies on a fairly willful misreading of his remarks, as I stated yesterday.

Still, Kelly got a good laugh out of it, and so did I.

At least we know where the genius that is Elizabeth Hasselbeck gets her talking points. She tried to trash the President for the same thing this morning but, was unsuccessful. Think about this. While stupid ass American teenagers are sexting, that kid in Russia invented Chatroulette and got 10 million dollars for his trouble. I suspect that the President was simplyy telling the students to use technology to empower themselves. Nice try though fox. Perhaps they could all use a course in just what “news” is?

As I posted on J$. If this happened to MSNBC during the Bush years Olberman and Co. would be swearing that Bush hacked into their signal.
