Fox News is A Lot of Things

Such as “a parade of propaganda” and “a festival of ignorance” and not only I think so.

Don’t you just love how as soon as someone speaks up about the amount of one-sided news Fox delivers, they immediately turn your attention to something else so it doesn’t seep into your brain and you start to believe them–Just in case the amount of “McCain is good, Obama is bad” stories and the amount of coverage on Hillary Clinton eventually all leading to sexist remarks haven’t tipped you off yet.

I personally have very, very basic cable and the only news channels I get are Fox News and C-SPAN, so those channels are all I have to rely on while sitting downstairs waiting for my coffee to brew and just today, the boyfriend commented on how Obama is flip flopping about everything and how McCain has stayed true to what he has been saying while fighting for the presidency all along. I looked at him, dumbfounded, and said “You know, this is Fox News so take what you hear with a grain of salt.” If you also find yourself in this situation, look up the story you’re interested in on CNN or basically any other news channel except for Fox News. You’ll thank me later, I promise.

Don’t you also love how the woman in the video is all “Uhh…But I love Fox News! I mean it, I really love you. I loooove youuuuu! Come on, please listen to me? Is that it? We’re all done? But I haven’t gotten to say how much I love Fox News yet. Oh, alright, we’re done.”

And in classic Fox News behavior, why not throw some sexism into the mix, too? Wouldn’t that be fun!? “Umm yeah, hopefully you missed that little demonstration of us ripping away someone’s free speech, here’s some sexy chicks to take your mind off of it. Remember folks, don’t hate Fox News, we show you chicks in bathing sui…I mean, dresses.”

    Amazing this article never mentioned how for 20+ years CNN has been pushing the total liberal agenda. They are only bested by NBC.

    By the way, who started CNN? Ted Turner. And he was married to? Hanoi Jane. Wonder which agenda she pushes.

    Good for this comedian for speaking the truth right to them. They should be called on all the bullshit that they put under the label of “news”. I doubt he will ever be invited back so I am glad that he got to have his say.

  5. Fox news is crap, but CNN and MSNBC aren’t much better. 24 hour news is not even news. It’s just entertainment. If you want news you have to read newspapers, watch PBS, CSPAN, or listen to NPR.

    Don’t kid yourself with CNN.

    “here’s some sexy chicks to take your mind off of it”

    Which of course is always followed by Amber or Corey Jane with the requisite helmet head, over processed bob, who often has a disturbing Stepford smile as she intones the names of those killed today in Iraq. Yeah, gotta love Fox!

    I really, really need to give up cable as I can’t remember the last time I even watched TV beyond a documentary on public access or CNN for major coverage of the big and unfolding stuff.

  9. I think fox news is pretty jacked up. I can hardly stand to watch it anymore! I would much rather watch CNN, although it isn’t much better. I should just stick to sports center and avoid national and local news all together!

  13. Gotta love fox news! I only watch local news! Even if fox news was the last source of news on the planet, I wouldn’t bother watching it.

    LOL Great clip!

    Yeah, I don’t get into any of the major news networks and have chosen to live on and off for years without cable television (currently without and plan to keep it that way). So glad Fox isn’t one of the 4 channels that does come in, though these days there seems no point in even turning the television on.

    When interested in news, I scan youtube for CNN clips on particular matters of interest. Fox truly is nothing but propaganda. Remember back about 10-12 years ago when it wasn’t nearly as bad? At what point did they go completely downhill? If memory serves me it was some time during the Clinton administration. Complete and utter rubbish these days.
