This story about Ferret Face is still on the media page. Wow. Slow news day.

Can me crazy, but I still CAN NOT believe the American people are this stupid! We're going to have to start pulling those Nielsen boxes one trailer park at a time!

O'Reilly is terrible, but doesn't Colmes make your skin crawl? Could he be a more pathetic punching bag for Sean Hanitty? The movie "Outfoxed" described the balanced coverage with token incompetant liberals perfectly. If you want to see what balance should be, just Youtube President Bill Clinton, and watch him rip into them.

Media?

This crazy entertainer worship belongs over there with Britney, Amy, Lindsey and Courtney, et al.

Did anyone see the movie 28 Days Later? In the first scene, experimental monkeys were strapped down and forced to watch images of violence all day. They could not look away. This scene reminds me of watching Fox News channel and its constant threats of terrorism.

The monkeys contracted a "rage" virus from digesting all this violence. This same virus eventually affects Fox viewers, as well.

I'm so proud to say I've never watched an entire episode of this jack-off's show. He and Bill Clinton should be locked in a hotel shower together for a weekend.

This tells you a lot about the Fox viewer.
O'Reilly, who denies homeless vets, probably denies the holocaust, pol pot and pinoche too, is the most watched on Fox. Im tellng you, Neo Nazis are gaining ground. They follow the money, and corporate America is like their Fuhrer.

Let me see....FoxNews is the most watched on cable, everyone watches American Idol, there's lots of 'fascinating' reality TV, wrestling is a big hit as is NASCAR.

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

Who exactly gave Fox license to distort the news 24/7? Do they need a special exemption for that?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 03:35 PM on 02/03/2008

Yes, watch Fox!

Watch John Goibson make jokes about how it was a good thing an actor dies at 28 years of age because he played the role of a gay man in a movie.

Watch O'Reilly explain how a young boy who was kidnapped by a pedophile probably enjoyed his confinement and subsequent repeated rapes because he did not have to attend school.

Watch Hannity make up his own facts on a nightly basis.

Watch 'fair and balanced" contributors like Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, and coming soon former "Macaca" Senator Rick Santorum. What a lineup! Is Attila the Hun unavailable?

Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann are the reason Fox is #1... Neither are very likable.

Clear evidence that his viewers IQ's are double digits.

I can't believe that my wife and I are the only people who go back and forth between channels as much as 10 times an hour.
Surfing makes it impossible to really judge anything. Particularly political punditry roulette!

I believe the reason Bill is top rated not because of what he says, but because of the way his show is done.

On most every issue he presents, there's a person that's pro and a person that's con. Both sides of an issue are discussed. That's what makes it appealing whether you agree with Bill or not.
