The "smug factor" on Fox news.
Edited on Mon Jun-22-09 03:24 PM by skip fox
There are a number of elements most Fox News reporters and commentators have, but the "smug factor," beyond their hatred of liberalism, is one of the most replusive. Only a few other commentators/reporters have this (Dobbs, Matthews), but I cannot think of ONE Fox personality who is NOT smug.

Here's my smug question: "Does the fact that Hannity refuses to get a military haircut mean that he doesn't support the troops? Why doesn't he support the troops? Is he unamerican? Does he have a secret agenda? Hate this country? Why does he hate the country that has given him everything? Is he a terrorist? Have a private jihad?" (Geez, Fox has taught us all too well.)

1. Maybe it's more important for him to look like his god...

2. Hannity is bald and wears a bad hairpiece.
That's the ONLY way to explain that stupid look!

3. White male superiority
I see it all over Hannity and hear it in his voice. O'Reilly is even worse.

They have a dick and they are white so they are ruling class.

4. Hannity is the typical republic weenie
All talk but no action. They talk a lot of sh*t, but when it came tome to man-up and serve their country in uniform, they coward out like their idol 5 deferment Cheney.

5. as Mike Nelson said, "Here's the wind-up...and THERE'S the smarm!"
works with fundies and elitists/technocrats too: "I am but a simple servant of the LAWD," and then they smirk (like real humble people do)

7. But the difference of Mathews from Dodd and Fox is that Matthews has intelligence
which occasionally over-rides his public, self indulgence display (i.e., ego-masturbation).
