NV Sen: Angle to Fox ‘Reporter’: We Want Reporters to Ask Questions We Want to Answer So They Report News the Way We Want It Reported

Nevada G.O.-Tea Bagger U.S. Senate Candidate Sharron Angle famously refuses to do interviews with legitimate journalists, lest they ask her about her unpopular positions, like killing Social Security and Medicare.

She was happy to sit down with Carl Cameron, a “reporter” for Fox News, her party’s propaganda outlet, of course. But it’s doubtful Cameron was prepared for it when Angle blurted out the truth about her expectations from him and the rest of the right-wing media, instead of playing the game and pretending like he was conducting a real interview with her.

This part is too rich — you gotta love her use of the royal “we”:

SHARRON ANGLE: We needed to have the press be our friend.

CARL CAMERON, Fox “News”: Wait a minute. Hold on a second. To be your friend…?

ANGLE: Well, truly…

CAMERON: That sounds naive.

ANGLE: Well, no. We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported.

CAMERON: [Nervous laughter.]

  1. In other words, she wants to keep her incompetence and extremist positions out of public view until she wins the election and can show her true colors in Congress. Just what America needs in these tough times: another member of Congress who knows nothing about governing and seeks a position only to push a personal agenda.

    Yep, she’s an idiot.

  2. Well, DUH! EVERY candidate/party wants “to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported.”

    But you don’t ADMIT that, you act like you CARE about reporters questions no matter how inconvenient, and you at least appear sincere and honest as the day is long!

    Angle definitely has a screw loose!

  3. As a nation, we don’t even bother to pretend that the emperor is wearing clothes any more.

    Get up on your hind legs and bleat along with me, “Four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs bad…”

  4. Well at least she’s on the right channel. Faux will report ANY lie you wish to tell. It’s what that lame brained Sarah is doing. Why does she ONLY go on Faux Noise? Because they throw her softball questions, and she gets to spew as many lies as her pea brain lets her. You Betcha!
