Out Foxed?

Thought some of you would get a kick out of this.

I'm not a fan of fox news either.

I certainly can’t blame this man for a great idea as an entrepreneur.

This may be a good time to unveil my competitive idea.

I call it the "media kit." It consists of an old sledgehammer and rocks. I will guarantee to beat his prices for those that are interested.

Here's the desired affect I’m shooting for: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...1b/liberal.jpg

Face it; it'll be the only worthwhile way to keep your television off the numerous other liberal media outlets. We should be happy to have fox just to act as a counterbalance.

Ha ha ha ha ha. This is so funny, Salty.

I was going to post this same topic a few hours back but then got pleasantly interupted by a phone call from an old HIIC friend.

I really hate fox, but I exercise what I call 'self-censorship'. I change the channel.

I hate fox, for much the same reason that the guy who built that gadget cites as his inspiration. Why do I want to listen to somebody's opinion. I can see why those channels and similar shows are popular, though. This is a USA today hungry country anymore. Now people not only don't want to read or watch the news, they want someone else to tell them how they should feel about it too. I don't care if any of those talking heads should stumble across an issue where I may tend to have the same viewpoint or not, chances are that their delivery will alienate me from them anyhow, so I just don't watch at all.

Cable companies should offer completely custom packages. I, for example, only want these channels:
ESPN 1+2, FSN 1+2, OLN, Discovery, TLC, Military, Spike, SpeedNetwork, HBO, FoodNetwork, Comedy, Cartoon Network, History...take all the rest, please.

You forgot the history channel, comedy central and VH1(only for I love teh 80's)though. otherwise I'd buy it. However, the local news around here is just as bad as fox, not by propaganda or opinion but by negligance.
