GOP staffers sensed Pelosi plot in temporary Fox News blackout

Jason Rhyne
Published: Monday November 12, 2007



When Fox News programming mysteriously disappeared last week from televisions at the US Capitol, some Republican Congressional aides were quick to suspect foul play, according to a DC newspaper.

"Staffers looking for their daily dose of 'We report, you decide' coverage on Wednesday flipped to the usual channel, only to be surprised to find dead air," report Roll Call's Emily Heil and Anna Palmer. "Conspiracy theories, unsurprisingly, abounded."

Eyeing Democrats as likely culprits, some Republicans on the Hill suggested a far-ranging plot reaching even the highest levels of majority leadership. “I sense Pelosi’s behind this,” one finger-pointing GOP staffer told Roll Call of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Another Republican aide described the horrors of being compelled to watch other networks' news coverage during the work day.

"I was just forced to watch an MSNBC segment on going green by shopping at farmers markets," the withdrawal-afflicted staffer told the paper. "We need Fox back, stat."

2. I don't pay them to watch teevee. Maybe we need to do some
out-sourcing on Capitol Hill.

Next on FoxNews, blended puppy vs kitten which tasty beverage more satisfies the evil inside.

4. Maybe they can regain their
wah by listening to Rush Limbaugh.

8. Hmmm. That happened to me last week.
I generally peruse CNN, MSRNC, CNBC, and Faux at lunch. When I hit Faux, they indicated that they had changed their satelite communications channel. I was hoping it would not return, but it did.
