I think I have managed to stay clear of watching more than 1-5 minutes of Fox News since the tsunami disaster.
I stopped watching Fox mainly due to the fact that every interview dealing with the tsunami disaster had a serious right wing slant. Did they go into scientific reasoning as to why this happened? No, it seemed to be all about “the end is coming” “this was God’s will” and so on.

It was time to jump ship and find a better station to keep running in the background while I did other tasks. So I turned to MSNBC which did not look to be as God fearing and disgusting. However, MSNBC seems to be obsessed with putting Pat Buchannan on thier station every other day.

Actually one of your uncles is exactly like that. We just keep him hidden for the sake of the children.

Five minutes! Five minutes!

You can watch five minutes of Fox News???

My god, this must be your mutant superpower or something. When I’m channel surfing and I hit Fox News, my reaction is about the same as noticing somebody pointing a gun at my head — I’m outta here!

Also, any and everything on TV that claims to be news. Ooh, also, MTV NEWS!

You hear it first!

I feel the same way when I watch ABC, NBC, and CBS.

That’s why I LOVE BBC, they’re like robots. No opinion, no emotion, just the news.

Leave the opinions and emotions to the viewer.

Of course the Beeb is state sponsored so they don’t have to vie with other stations for “the latest scoop”, they don’t have commercials, no singing frog, and no “Who Wants to Marry a [blank]“…
Damn commie crap.

” I can barely watch more than five minutes of Fox News without wanting to punch the screen.”

Yet somehow we always do… And at least once a week I want to punch my radio into the dashboard listening to Rush.*

*that’s the evil, pill-popping fat asshole Rush, not the tremendous Canadian power-rock trio Rush—they make me drum on the steering wheel… :-)
