"Fox News - It's Hilarious!"

Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 03:02 PM by Glenda

I was talking today to my friend in the UK. He said they get Fox news on their TV. "Everyone here thinks it's hilarious! It's like one of those news satire shows."

So if the people of the UK see Fox News and of course know it's shite... And they also know that 1/2 of Americans lap that stuff up...

Well, no wonder they think we're stupid. (At least the 59 million)

1. My mom (big time Dem) watches it because it cracks her up

watching them go off (Fox and Friends I think - don't watch the crap myself). I called her the morning the Laura Bush-THK thing broke and sure enough - their top story!

2. All I do is get violently ill when I watch Fox News.

Hell, I can barely stomach watching the NFL on Fox.

3. I suppose some may find it funny.

I tend to see it as bad comedy. The jokes aren't funny, they're on me, which just ends up pissing me off.

7. Fox News is kind of like The Daily Show on crack, in that respect.
