McCain role in Keating Five censored by Fox News

'Cut his mike,' producer suggests The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way. Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papantonio tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s. F&F's Steve Doocy told Papantonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike." As Papantonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off. "This is not the History Channel," he says. Papantonio's apparent crime was interrupting fellow guest Michael Reagan, the conservative radio host, who was arguing that it would be unfair to judge McCain based on his actions 20 years ago. "It has everything to do with what's happening today," Papantonio said before being told to pipe down. Regardless of whether Papantonio was being rude, preserving an orderly debate certainly could not have been Doocy's goal in silencing the guest. Not two minutes before his admonition that Papantonio was "being rude," Doocy repeatedly interrupted his guest to deliver talking points that might as well have been written by the McCain campaign. At least three times Doocy interrupted Papantonio as he argued that McCain's political gambit to "suspend" his campaign and delay Friday's debate was more a response to his flagging poll numbers than an attempt to fix the economic crisis. Doocy wasn't buying it. "If Barack Obama wants to do so much for the economy, why doesn't he go to his day job and work in the us senate?" he asked Reagan, cutting off Papantonio's argument.

FAUX News (I won't waste my time watching that crap). Also remember ENRON? Kenneth Lay (CEO) who 'supposedly' died of a heart attack and quickly cremated? Yeah right! HE is ALIVE and well on a South Pacific Island (MONEY can buy ANYTHING!)

Ok, someone give me the logic because I do not understand that if a corporate criminal gets off scott free two decades ago and then runs for president, how is it that his actions 20 years ago are not relevant? There is no doubt in my mind that if the crook Reagan had not been elected in the first place WE wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. We've waited thirty years to be rid of the fascist cancer and we are STILL not rid of it.

Another example I can easily think of would be the American girl who survived the Georgian attack, she and her aunt was cut off the moment they tried to say it was Georgia's fault and not Russia's fault. I can name tons more times of clear, not simply just bias, but completely changing facts on news that Fox consistently do.
gabe228 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
you've gotta be kidding me.. fox is the most unfair and bias news in the world (slight exxageration) have you seen them report mike foley as democrats? have you seen them report 82% to 18% live polls for McCain vs Obama debate when every other news network had same exact polls that were accurate? Unless you really think McCain was winning by 82%. Have you seen Fox ask undecided to raise their hands on their candidate, nobody raised for McCain, and fox says " 1/2, 1/2"

great post, msnbc is getting biased as fox news now.

Fox wasn't attempting to censor Mike Papantonio, they were simply trying to make sure Michael Reagan had an attempt to speak. Papantonio was simply rude to continuously interrupt Reagan an prevent him from speaking... There was no true attempt at censorship. If anything, Fox News has indeed been more fair and balanced about this election than any other news media station...

This election cycle Fox News has been so disgusting, I just can't watch anymore. Now it looks like MSNBC is quickly following in there footsteps but on the other side of the isle. I hope CNN's ratings go through the roof and Fox News and MSNBC find themselves scrambling to wonder what they did wrong.
