and what the hell is a climate hub?

ClimateHub is like PornHub, except it pushed fear porn instead.

Speaking of which, a woman receives has my seed is a lucky lass indeed.

You could also call it the “Born on third base and thought they hit a triple” syndrome.

My take on Rupert Murdoch and Fox News is that he wasn't really a conservative. I think he was trying to make a news station that met an untapped market for news. Since all the other TV news sources were hard left, he realized a news source that was more centered would bring in customers who were tired of hard left "news".

I base that off the fact that he created (I believe) the FX network. If you look at the shows it created for prime time TV, most of them can't even be close to portraying conservative Christian principles. Quite the opposite, particularly given the era the FX network began and the shows it had to make it popular. For example, think about all the Christian families who complained about The Simpsons being a cartoon in which the main character was completely disrespectful to his father and made it look fun and smart. And look at all the other shows that even had nudity and lots of cussing -- on broadcast TV decades ago. Again, I think Murdoch realized there was an untapped market for broadcast network TV of viewers who'd like to push the envelope a little bit like happened on cable TV programming.

So I don't think Murdoch, who by the way often supported the Dims, created Fox News to try to make the country conservative. I think he was just a master at finding untapped markets and making money off of them.

IIRC I subscribed to HBO about 20 years ago. But I soon decided that it wasn't worth $6.95 a month. And I still believe that it's not worth $6.95...or $1.95...a month.

I expected better from HBO.

You did?

I hope you were not planing to drive after what you have been smoking. Must be some pretty strong stuff.
