ZOT! Why You and I Hate Fox News
Fox ^ | 5/20/05 | Jackson

Posted on 05/20/2005 6:56:43 PM PDT by withteeth

First up, Shepard Smith repeating over and over on a hot summer day, that it was "HOT". That was my first day of Fox news. It really was hot, and I've hated him ever since.

Next, of course, is the blow-hard High School teacher, O'Rielly, who in the real world ought to be a lunch-room/hall monitor, up on charges of sexual harrassment. Anyone who admires O'Rielly is overlooking a lot, let's face it. Have you ever seen him in a discussion group? There's a reason for that. I saw him sit on on Brit Hume's Sunday forum once, and it was painfully embarrassing to everyone. He's never appeared since. Of course you all remember how he lost his cool with Franken on C-span too. The long and short of it is, name and town, name and town. Here is a letter from John Smith from Springfield, "Dear Mr. O'Rielly, I loved your book, No Spin Zone". Well, Mr. Smith, you get a no spin zone coffee mug. *grin*

Then there's radio-face Sean Hannity, who never had an original observation in his life. Hannity's schtick is to associate his poor guests with positions other people have taken. Notice that? He will hector, "do you not denounce Jesse Jackson for saying...bla bla bla".

John Gibson. Did you know he has a book out? John Crosseyed Gibson, with the unlovely smirk, an hour a day. His celebrity is yet another reason O.J. Simpson should have gotten the chair.

I don't believe Fox News is very different from CNN, mind you. It has its garishness going for it, though, in red, white, and blue, and the squawk/ caw of the eagle flying past the flag just before commercial breaks.

Fox News has Fox News Alerts too, every ten minutes. We're all used to that boy-cries-wolf now. "This is a Fox News Alert! Allen Greenspan is testifiying before a congressional committee!". The next time our country has a real emergency, I expect my television to explode, if I'm tuned into fox news.

There are some good people there. I love Steve Doocy, and a couple of the weekend crew. It's a good idea to hire comedians if you want a good morning show. Why not? That should be obvious to TV executives.

Do you hate the Fox News Channel, with its garish colors and its horrible narrator/announcer? That man with the deep voice with such inapporopriate enthusiasm about, say, a child kidnapping? "Coming up next! A mother drowns her children, and a shaken town wonders why! On Fox news!"

There's room for improvement.

You could start by spelling O'Reilly correctly.

I don't watch FOX News as much as I used to but still find it a refreshing change from the old blow-dried anchors reading blah-blah scripts off the teleprompter.

The reason I like Fox is because they annoy CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and all the other liberal media.

Yeppers, Fox's ratings (and for a cable channel not able to many U.S. viewers) scare the the competition. Fox isn't perfect, but viewers go there for a good reason that the competition doesn't seem willing to study. They'd Rather bad-mouth Fox, and hope it goes away somehow.

I'd sacrifice small mammals to Laurie Dhue's lips...

Unfortunately for you, her lips actually are small, hairless mammals that are alive and have teeny, tiny, sharply pointed teeth. She disguises them with tons of sticky, gooey lip gloss. Think about that next time you watch her mouth. :^)

Why this is this person being humored?

This is really too trivial a thread, maybe, to rate even 1 sleepy Viking kitty.

A controversial Web site that has called wounded soldiers “leeches” and celebrates when U.S. servicemen are killed in action, is claiming its Web master was beaten to death yesterday. But local police say no murder has occurred

I saw this wormy little maggot on H & C earlier. Had this almost overwhelming desire to don a haz-mat suit, draq the little bastard into the nearest alley, and administer the ass whipping he needed but never got as a child.

Why is it these rat-faced little wimps remind me so much of the weasely operatives who ran around with their noses stuck up Lenin's and Stalin's rectii?

He still shows up on some discussion panels I think, but now he has a radio show.

I understand he runs a website called Forsakethecops as well. If I were him I wouldn't count on much of an investigation if he turns up missing some day.

What a freakin' loser.

Unfortunately, I saw this ignoramus' website. The nicest thing I can say is that he is a Fool.

He has no understanding of duty and honor.

Every weather report today and y-day had "WICKED WEATHER" as part of both the title and in the report. In one report, the weather goddess used the term "Wicked Weather" 4 times in 2 minutes. And yes, I DO need to get a life.

'withteeth' is now without them and is likely flapping its gums over at DU.

I agree. Try taking some writing classes.
