DUers -- I need some help with Fox News

Some time back -- maybe more than a year -- someone on DU posted a fantastic four-color graphic that showed the Fox News program lineup for a whole day. It showed that no matter what the individual program was talking about, each carried the same three or four talking points. The bottom line was that anyone who watched Fox from morning to night -- as my family does -- was subjected to the same three or four talking points over and over and over.

If anyone knows of it, remembers it or, better still, has it, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

My friends had this little Australian cattle dog, and she liked to grab onto a stick and have you lift her off the ground. No matter how hard you shook that stick, she would not let go. She was having such a good time, she just had to hang onto that stick until your arms got tired and you had to let her down. Fox News is exactly the same way. When they get onto a talking point, they just hammer it to death, then kick the corpse, cremate it, stir the ashes, then start all over again. I guess they figure they have to explain their point 5 different ways, with 10 different commentators, for at least an hour, because the audience is so dense they might not be able to figure it out in just one pass.
