Faux News can't refrain from dig at Dixie Chicks
This is a good example of how a piece, at first glance straightforward, promotes the agenda at FOX. First, Smith (or his producers - whatever) chose to highlight the Police, doing a little history of the band and showing extensive footage and snips, even though the Dixie Chicks were the big winners of the night........more

The Tampa Tribune printed a HUGE pic of Mary J. Blige. The Chicks were shunted off to the side as though they were the presenters or something.
When Green Day took it all last year that's all you heard about. Again, I'm not sure the curren resident is savvy enough to know green day is directed at his idiocy.
He was aware that the chicks are not so proud him (to say the least)and anyone who did not trumpet this obvious repudiation is on my s-list. Of course, they probably were already, anyway ....

I hope they are being given the tour de force of media exposure as was green day. I haven't had time to find out. Thanks for the joan baez vid. cool
