Amazing observation! Personally, I haven’t watched FAUX News for over 2 years.

Personally, I haven’t watched FAUX News for over 2 years.

I quit right after the '08 election and tired of it long before that, but just couldn't give it up. What was turning me off (and still does) is the way the shows are setup. Right vs. left. If a commentator was on the right, they espoused right viewpoints, left espoused left. In many cases, the arguments are specious or you can tell the person doesn't really believe what they are saying. It's like sports. Take a side and cheer your team. The content and the importance of the content is lost in the staging. It's merely cheap entertainment.

What about right and wrong? Critical thinking? Thinking for ones self?

When I do turn the news on to watch a current event, such as storm coverage, I feel like I have to trade 10 IQ points for every half hour I suffer through.
