A lot of the people who tune in to Fox News are being lied to. Absolutely. But a lot of other people, I claim, know that Fox News is lying and slanting its journalism simulation product. Those people want the lies spread. They aren't innocent at all. They are complicit.

On edit: And, of course, they have their reasons for wanting Fox News to spread lies (and filter out truth). The reasons are usually also lies.

do.

And there should be some that do it funny, so that if you watch Fox News and you're under the age of 75 they make you feel completely lame about it.

I love this idea. Going to look at what a billboard costs....
