that reminds me of South Park for some reason, might be how they animated the heads
Great stuff, I loved the bit about that idiot's school and St Patrick's day. 'Potato day'
Ignoring all biases FOX is clearly the worst of the channels just due to terrible professionalism. It's essentially that uncle we all have who is an alcholic who can barely remember his own name but thinks he knows everything.
MSNBC is blatantly incompetent but harmless. It's like an aunt that always sounds shrill but everyone knows that she is just a blowhard.
And CNN is Grandpa, of course. Stuffy and egotistical. Some things they say make sense while other things just defy the mind.
However, the fact that people think FOX is at all unbiased is hilarious. It is without a doubt a conservative channel and you have to have your head in the sand to deny that fact.

I occasionally see Faux news as I am passing it when changing the channel. I dont like to dwell on crap.
FOX News's "domination" is limited merely to the demographic it panders to. As was pointed out already, it is (after all) the only major news network that leans far to the right, so of course it's gonna clean house amongst that crowd. And, certainly, when you have such a dramatically pressing issue like teabagging going on... That just SCREAMS good ratings. For once, I'd love to see that bunch try to see things from more than one perspective.
I've found their relentless yet futile attempts at pinning something bad on President Obama particularly hilarious. He hasn't even been in office 100 days! As I recall, it took far longer than that for George W. Bush to catch any serious heat, other than people being sore at him for allegedly stealing the 2000 election (i.e. never conclusively proven). Even then, the relentless disapproval didn't really start until sometime around the Hurricane Katrina disaster. That was a full year into his SECOND term. Following "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, it was one fuck-up after another. Obama hasn't even been around long enough to have his "Bay of Pigs" incident, if he ever will. Yet, the right seems unforgiving in their alarmist disapproval of him. FOX News leads this smear campaign, as does Rush Limbaugh. It's a clear sign of the formerly powerful throwing a schoolyard tantrum because they're not as influential as they used to be. As Jon Stewart said, "It's called LOSING! It's SUPPOSED to taste like a shit taco!"
This whole time since the subject of "teabagging" was first brought up... even before Comedy Central, CNN and MSNBC all started in on their jokes.... my mind keeps replaying one of Mandy Patinkin's great lines from The Princess Bride: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." I've seen the video clips of these so-called tea parties. The crowds were filled with the same kinds of people who stood up during McCain rallies and misguidedly labeled Obama as an Arab.
These FOX News analysts like Hannity, O'Reilly and Beck who continually refer to our President as a Marxist, Fascist, or a Socialist, and nutjob politicians like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann who talk about being either pro-America or anti-America, not to mention arguing for pro-life.... What? So the rest of us are pro-death?.... They need to give it a rest because it's their brand of hate speech that creates the very terrorists they've been so publicily adamant about defeating.
Caligula- Judging by your name, I'm curious if you've ever read the recent book "Caligula For President!"? Looking at your post, you'd probably like it. It's a lot of fun.
No, I hadn't even heard of it until just now. Sounds interesting.
I'm just as guilty of this as anyone. But we're all falling into the trap. The Lonely Squire is a trolling whack job. He spends most of his time in TNZ flame-baiting The Huffington Hooligans(which, granted, isn't very hard) who dominate that place all the while laughing his ass off. He's obviously grown bored and has now decided to take his act here. Don't indulge him. Because the more you do, the more the rest of them will flocke here and the more this place becomes TNZ-lite. And we'll all miss the civility. I promise you.
Actually... yeah I'm going there, I'll be the brave one... it's because they are racists pigs. Everything they say proves that, and 99% of the people watching the channel, unless it's Shepard Smith show, are too, they are just so stupid they don't know it.
How do I know this? I have an aunt that fits perfectly into that group, complete idiot that goes to my cousin "I'm not racists but I will never let you date a black guy". I'm hoping she will date a black girl instead.
And yeah, except that the mods put a stop to this crap in Misc. If you really want that, you should migrate to a political board. Because I don't think one dedicated to phasers and starships is exactly the right venue for it.
And you continue to ignore the fox news concentrates on solely in the cable market where CNN etc have competition in both cable and network markets.
you can spin your distortion as much as you like won't make it true. Nor will it make your claims about the behaviour on fnc of it's on air talents make them true.
I think it's about time to close this thread.
Correction. He used to. He got booted from TNZ for just that.
Ahhh, no. 99% based on one aunt, sounds scientific to me.

But thanks for making a bigoted statement in sweeping generalities.
Better a liberal bigot I suppose than a lump sum suppossed racist.
That's how you lay it out.
You don't help yourself or fellow libs at all with such trite statements.
Cause I for one don't think all libs are bigots based on one such as yourself. But I would be right to do so based on your logic.
Liberal, Conservative, in the end...THERE..CAN..BE..ONLY ONE! HERE WE ARE! BORN TO BE KINGS! WERE PRINCES OF THE UUUNIVERSE!!
I think we should all just meditate on the fact that Spongebob Squarepants gets higher ratings than any of the news shows on any of the cable news channels.
Combined! DING, DING, DING, WE HAVE A WINAAA!!!!!
