I'm watching less and less of FOX lately. I used to have the TV tuned there 24/7, but lately I've been watching other things (HGTV, History Channel etc.). It started with tuning out for OR, and then forgetting to turn it back after his show because they air it twice. Don't bother to write the smuck and tell him you're not going to watch anymore, he gets a kick out of it, just turn him off.
I still watch a lot of Fox. I also watch CNN, MSNBC and even some broadcast news. (You gotta keep an eye on these guys, even if it is ugly.) Fox is no different than any number of other "new" things. In the beginning everyone works hard to show how good they are, and to gain new fans. Inevitably, over time, standards drop and self-preservation takes its place. It happened with Rush. Ultimately, it is about self-promotion, above all else. I just agree with Rush and most of the Fox talent, including, to a lesser extent, O'Reilly. I would go so far as to say, if even John Kerry were to adopt positions that I agree with (which is not likely, and could you ever believe him?), I would consider voting for him. Just like anyone else, I want those who agree with me to have power, even if I otherwise don't care for them. Fortunately, those who largely agree with me are also more agreeable.
