Fox Porn? Going Too Far at Faux News
November 18th, 2007Keith Olbermann frequently rails against “Fixxed Noise”. I try to catch his show Count Down on MSNBC whenever possible and I have to say it doesn’t surprise me one bit that Fox News stoops to these incredible lows. On the few occasions I have spent a minute or two watching the show out of curiosity and perhaps some comic relief, I have found the cleavage wielding, ditsy blonde footage somewhat offensive. Why? Because it’s obvious that they are further cheapening their “ faux news” by selling sex. Watch this compilation and you will see that strung together, Fox “news” has a lot of porn content. Shouldn’t there be some kind of law to prevent broadcasts masquerading as news? I mean come on people! Isn’t that false advertising? A lot of folks that I know actually believe this is real unbiased “balanced” news. And THAT is their sole source of news! This is terrifying! These people vote, some of them have large voices in their communities and this is their sole source for what’s going on in the world. One might argue that we can’t be expected to save stupid people from themselves but there are laws. I mean infomercials have to be disclosed and Faux news is nothing more than an infomercial for the Bushwhacker camp. If it’s not hawking the spin, it’s selling sex.

If you miss Olberman you can often catch bits of his show at MediaMatters.org (Keith Olbermann). I often use that as a way to keep up with his Worst Person segments.

I record Keith every night. I typically watch it live (it comes on, just as I’ve tucked the kids in to bed) But if I run late getting to the living room, or for some reason I’m out. I can always watch it later.
Anyway, Fox is losing viewers.. every day. I think the only ones left watching are idiots. Most these days watch CNN, which is just as bad. There is a great thread at dkos today about the democratic debate on CNN recently and how CNN “journalists” altered questions asked by the audience. Biden called them on it (I didn’t watch the debate since I pretty much know who I’m voting for at this point so the debates don’t matter to me. I’m sick of watching only to have the moderators concentrate on Hillary, Obama and Edwards while giving funky questions to the rest.. or ignoring them)
