SHAME ON FOX NEWS! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

Okay...if I'm off-base, then flame me. But DH and I are fuming this evening to come home from work to learn that Fox News spent the 6-7 PM NEWS hour with Shep Smith crying over Michael Jackson. UN-FRICKIN-BELIEVABLE! There is so much crap going on in this country, the world, the economy, 10% unemployment, Congress/Obama getting ready to shove cap-n-trade down our throats, he and the big-she having a laeuiu at the Whie House...what in the hell is going on! The whole damn world is in fire! I'm so ticked off to not hear the Bret Baer news hour....what a frickin joke on the part of Fox News! And they want to be taken seriously?! Geesh! Enough already!

Jackson’s death will suck all the air out of TV programming for the next few nights

Which is probably driving Kim Jong-Il nuts (well, more nuts).

Unbelievable.

And tomorrow’s breaking news.

FOX scores highest ratings in TV history.

We turned Fox off. All this angst and hype lionizing a child molester is awful.

I have had enough.

Shep Smith is a sick basta*d.

FOXNEWS will probably devote the next 24 hours to updates about Jacko’s demise.

I'm with you, kiddo. I finally gave up with even muting the Shep-ster's slobbering.

I felt sure that the regular "Special Report" would resume but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, just more run of the various loops FNC had of the white girl who used to be a black boy!

At first Greta came out and was calling MJ a little Freak Boy with a lot of problems both physical and mental. Then about an hour later she is back on again with sheppie saying what a great talent the little pedo was, she totally changed her tune... There must be a Big Fox tie in somewhere...

I know.

I used to love Michael Jackson. I remember the premiere of the “Thriller” video. After the child abuse allegations, the music made me feel hinky.

Jackson was a seriously messed up man...he was basically indentured underage slave labor for a totalitarian abusive father.

Pedophile or not, it was over the top. “The Most Famous Man in the World.” C’mon, FOX. I went to the History Channel and FR.

BTW, check out youtube, “hitler nigerian email” if you need a good laugh.

parsy, who is still laughing hao.

I hate to tell you guys, but here comes another hour of it. O’Reilly’s hour is being replaced by, wow, more Shep! And more Michael Jackson! Aren’t you thrilled, like a real thriller. It’s probably going to be this way all nite long. All Michael all the time. Time to switch channels. I’ve had it.

Your mistake was turning on the TV and expecting to see actual news. That business died a long time ago. As the ad-based broadcast business model swirls the drain expect nothing but "infotainment" at best, and increasingly lurid sensationalism as the norm for any broadcast medium.

What is disappointing is how much cyber-ink this sort of stuff gets even on FR. It is reflective of the culture as a whole.
