Thinking they are mindlessly evil is what they want you to believe.

The truth is much worse - they are cynical and very carefully calculated.

Their message is designed to resonate with their base. It's not for our consumption, believe me. They don't care how ridiculous the story appears to us.

It's made for a very specific segment of the population, and those it's targeted at will eat it up.

For her it would require chopping onions to produce tears. For me it would be sitting in that same room with so many who lost their children to gun violence.

I like the fact that my president is a real human being. Fox News viewers have been another thing for a long time now.

All the instructions come down from above, at the Fox Network. They ask where were tears for the victims of Isis when he can't even muster any for the shootings on the street of Chicago, than...on top of that, they call him, weak..Grown men should not cry, they say, He can't ever win here, because they hate the black man so much.


Fox News is so disgusting, you wish people would go there and stand outside their doors and protest them for being Jerk wads.

One could never accuse Fox of being original.


(Takes out onion) is a mock stage direction inserted in articles when someone is allegedly faking sorrow (crocodile tears). Onions are well known for inducing tears when close to the eyes and were a useful prop for actors who were required to 'cry' in dramatic scenes, regardless of whether they would naturally be feeling sadness or despair. To this end, the phrase is therefore usually used to denote hypocrisy. It occurs as early as 1915, in cartoons by W. Heath Robinson

When Rachel and Lawrence get redundant or boring, and my goodness, those people are vile! It's just one made up smear after another and such an attitude like they're right about something. They're never correct, they just lie their asses off, and are mean about it besides!

And they are teaching prejudice against liberals. Hell, Ted Nugent suggests it's a good thing for the country to hunt down and murder liberals! What they are taught liberals stand for is appalling and utterly incorrect.

It feels like what Fox is doing is illegal, or was at one time. Or maybe these nutters have always been on the fringes and Fox has made them mainstream and acceptable and even popular.

This divide and conquer efforts of our Oligarch's sure is mean and cruel and hurtful and unnecessary and something Jesus would not be happy about.

willing to say anything to support an agenda.

You do not need facts or logic for your argument.

Reminds me of a song:

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry



Remember people, Fox News is not responsible for anything they transmit.

That is all, over and out.

It is only natural for FOX to assume others fake things too.

Fake is so ingrained in the FOX culture that they are sick enough to think that when they claim someone else is faking, they are true
