Fox Concentrates On $160,000 Missing In UN Oil For Food Scandal But Doesn't Talk About 9 Billion Missing In Iraq

Today on Studio B with Shepard Smith the focus was again on the UN Oil for Food Scandal. Sevan is accused of embezelling $160,000 in the UN Oil for Food Scandal.

With all the focus that Fox has put on this scandal I can't help but wonder why there is no concern for the 9 billion dollars that went missing from Iraq that the U.S. can't account for.

Senator James "Global Warming Is Hoax" Inhofe (R-OK) Seems to Think He's Working for FOX News

On Friday morning November 17, 2006, FOX & Friends' trio of hosts conducted an interview with Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), chair of the Committee on the Environment and Public Works, who is up for re-election in 2008. Although I was somewhat familiar with Inhofe's reputation as an ardent supporter of the Bush agenda, I had never actually seen him in action before. As you can see from the video below, the Senator from Oklahoma is an outspoken opponent of the theory that human-produced hydrocarbons have contributed to global warming. Inhofe was discussing the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Nairobi. Kenya and used his FOX News platform to spout right-wing mantras that the UN is bad, Kofi Annan is the devil incarnate, the Kyoto Accords are a joke, etc. He seemed quite hurt that a press conference scheduled in Nairobi at which selected scientists would give "the true side, the true science" had to be canceled because of lack of interest by the foreign media.
