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!"
Sure. Make it dark chocolate. :o)
hopefully you meant brain dead, or I'll have to be offended:)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
: )
the beltway boys is probably the best discussion panel ever.
love that show.
I can spell, I just can't type for the life of me ...
you are geting sleeeepy,
now that is funny!
Michael Crook: Michael Crook is my legal name. Mike Vogel-Delaney and Mike Delaney were names that I was known as in high school, and derive from family surnames.
The Dread Pundit Bluto: You admitted to the Armageddon Project that you lied about finding the soldier's camera. Why should people believe anything you say?
Michael Crook: I didn't admit to them that I lied about the camera. For legal reasons, I can't divulge details, except to say that I was contacted by the Philadelphia Police Department, and cooperated with their detectives. I am not going to lose sleep over whether or not people believe me. The salary facts that I post come from the government's own websites, so if people contest the accuracy of the salary figures that appear on my site, they need to take it up with Uncle Sam, or if they have hard evidence that supports their side..I will post it.
The Dread Pundit Bluto: What is your ultimate goal? What would Michael's utopia look like?
Michael Crook: My ultimate goal...my "utopia" would be a restructured military-- one that matches the civilian sector in terms of compensation and benefits, and a new military that doesn't abuse taxpayers' funds the way that I feel it does now.

Mmmm...that DOES look delicious. Thank you. With nuts even! Scrumptious!

I was wondering the same thing. Is there something else going on here besides criticizing Fox News?
While waiting for the Beltway Boys and Fox News Watch last week (or maybe I still had the TV on after they went off, I don't remember), I had the TV on with no sound and they were showing footage from a hurricane. Underneath it said, "Most Americans Unprepared for Hurricanes."
Well, "No Duh!" I thought, "Most Americans don't live in hurricane zones."
I know if one reached all the way up here to Madison WI, I'd be pretty much unprepared for it.
I'm also unprepared for volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and flying saucer invasions. Of course, here in Madison, if a flying saucer did invade, I'd be hard pressed to tell the the difference between the invaders and many of the local residents.

Someone hacked an account.
I agree that they sometimes use the "FOX NEWS ALERT" WAY to much, I even wrote them a message stating I think they use it WAY TOO MUCH once, but I agree with NONE of the rest of your message...
From reading the rest of this thread, I think I can safely say you have already been ZOTTED back to DU, Good Bye!
How do you know that?
