Fox News Billboard Graffiti

New Yorkers have been busy editorializing on the Fox News billboards that have been put up in most of the subway stations.  The vandalism and graffiti has been pretty heavy since the subway advertisements went up in late June.  With the Republican National Convention starting this Monday it could look kind of bad;  I wonder if we will see them all blacked over hastily.   WWGD? (What would Giulliani do?).  Bill O’Reilly, Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Greta van Susteren, welcome to New York!  The most popular defacements are to portray O’Reilly as der Fuhrer (I saw 5 times), van Susteren as a sellout (3 times); and Smith as a latent homosexual (3 times).  Curiously, the least-graffitied face is Sean Hannity even though he is ostensibly second in command of this bunch.  Maybe he has sanctuary by his position in the shadow of the froggy-faced shot of Colmes, his “liberal” buddy.  The billboards timing coincided almost exactly with the release of the anti-Fox documentery:  Outfoxed; Rupert Murdoch’s War Against Journalism.

wow, did you take all these pix yourself? because that shows some real bloggy digital devotion. anyway, these images made my day. i can never be sure, when i get my news from the bbc and "the guardian" and the chicago trib's website, whether new york is REALLY that put out with the RNC as it seems.

Nice to see the liberals still endorse vandalism as a legitimate journalistic method

F*XNews commits vandalism on truth!

These are brilliant. It makes you proud to be a New Yorker...
