Cavuto builds time machine

A headline on another website blares, "Neil Cavuto of FauxNews is a Time Traveler."

This is not a reference to the right-wing commentator's outdated views on economics and other matters - although it could be. This is a reference to another of Cavuto's lies.

As Fox News Channel has been hyping the right-wing Tea Party self-parodies, Cavuto has an interesting defense for this coverage. He said, "We are going to be in the middle of these protests because at Fox, we do not pick and choose these rallies and protests. We were there for the Million Man March, even though, as I pointed out, it turned out to be well shy of a million men."

It turns out though that Pox News would have needed a time machine to do that. The Million Man March took place in 1995. Fox News Channel didn't go on the air until 1996.

We got you there, Neil!

It's not like facts have ever stood in the way of Fox's biased coverage though.

Cavuto lied again when he put the recent Tea Party mockeries in the category of "populist causes." Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these the same rallies in which a participant displayed a sign saying, "Thank the rich"? Doesn't exactly sound like a populist slogan to me.

So Neil Cavuto isn't just a time traveler. He's a planet traveler too.
