Can't... Stand... Fox... News... - general rant

reeftool · 09-25-2009, 08:04 AM

I really don't care much for any of the news channels these days. I work nights, weekends and have a somewhat different schedule than most of the world and and one time would turn on the cable news channels to try and catch up to rest of the world. It seems that all of them have some kind of political commentary show of one kind or another whenever I turn them on and I never seem to get any news anyway. CNN seems to have more news content but they also have a lot of the talking head commentators too. I don't care to listen to any of them no matter what their political opinion is. A bunch of whiners....or is it weiners....?

O'Reilly is mild compared to the hard boiled idiot Chris Matthews and K. Overbite. I don't watch either one.

They've actually done studies which show most of the factually-disinformed voters watch Fox. They often are voting based on indisputably-incorrect notions of what they're voting about.

Like CNN and MSNBC have an effing clue about the weather much less anything else.

Good enough reason to KEEP watching it. The French? Who cares? I mean the only war they ever won was their own civil war. Hell if the Italians didn't teach em to cook they'd a starved ta death.

Well, without them we'd still be a British colony.

actually cant you say this about any of the current "news" outlets? There is no source of "news" that is 100% unbiased about something. So I dont think that saying that if you watch Fox News that you are an uninformed missguided voter. I think thats a gross generalization about its viewship with the corralary(Sp) that if you watch anyother news that you are being told the true and accurate news so your decisions will be based on logical, informed, unbiased thought processes?

The other study shows that people who watch CNN, MSNBS, NBS, CBS are basically socialist marxists bordering on psychotic people who are prone to harming baby crickets.

Strictly speaking, that's not so much a 'study' as 'what got studied.'

Or, in colloquial terms, 'Your Major Malfunction.' As in 'I'll take major malfunctions for three hundred dollars,' ... What is a dittohead?'

So in other words you don't get news?

But these are babies. Your feeding babies to your gecko?
