Oh Lord, Fox News being added to Comcast cable in Detroit
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 01:12 PM by MotorCityMan
I figured they would break down eventually and add it, even though this is a very blue collar, Democratic area. I thought it was hilarious when Fox hosted the Democratic debates here in Detroit, and Detroit didn't even carry Fox News.

I've only seen snippets of it. When my late partner was in the hospital last year was the first time I've seen it. I felt unclean after watching it. A bunch of empty headed blondes (male and female) cheerfully spouting the current Republican/Nazi talking points. I wondered if they even understood what the hell they were reading.

I KNOW from all I have read here about how bad Hannity, 'O Rielly and others are on the show I am going to have to see it for myself.

At least I watched Outfoxed, so I know pretty much what to expect (non-stop bullshit).

2. Get the OutFox DVD and have a viewing party
Also download the following bumper art and deplaying it on you company bulletin board, school event board, car window, etc.

Word is getting around that Faux News is faux news.


Download the free bumper art here:

3. All the more reason we need legislation to force "a la carte" cable
You just can't get away from them.

4. Comcast Added ABC Now On My System
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 03:15 PM by IMRadioactive
Much to my surprise the other night, I found Ch. 217 was running the new ABC News Now 24 hour channel...a cross between CNN and Headline News. I've been checking in a lot...and am impressed in all the stuff it covers.

It's not fair for me to say much more as I just discovered it yesterday and a lot of the stuff is reruns of 20/20 and other ABC News stuff...just like MSGOP reruns the Dateline crap. Let's see how the network wears during the weekdays.

On Edit: Right now the anchorman is Chris Cuomo!!! I think I like this network already.
