FOX panel on the budget
Brit - Impasse was inevitable. If it were left to the democrats, they would do it all with tax increases.
Kirsten Powers - dems want to cut tax loops holes for things people aren’t sympathetic with (corporate jets, etc.)
Kristol - tells Wallace, “You can call me a flake if you want.” lol
Juan global economic recession could be precipitated if we don’t raise the debt limit. Past presidents have raised the debt limit. Brit reminds Juan that past presidents raising the debt is different because we were not anywhere close to this level of debt.
Brit - warns that administration will send out warning letters that certain programs will be shut down. - military pay, SS, etc. Republicans won’t be able to withstand the blowback from furiuos voters. Juan thinks that would be deplorable, it would never happen.
Wallace really smacks down the comment by Jon Stewart that FOX viewers are misinformed. Shows how these polls are misleading/stacked. On global warming - if you don’t agree, you are misinformed/wrong. On obamacare if you believe it will cost more in the long run (or something like that), you are misinformed.
Wallace puts up a study on viewers of various cable shows and their percentage of correct answers to “real questions”. Fox listeners are higher than others. Stewart viewers scored only 1% higher than those who watch Hardball. lol.
Wallace finishes (regarding the statement that Fox Viewers are consistently misinformed) with:
“I guess the joke is on Jon Stewart.”
