What's the longest you can stomach Fox News?
I lasted almost five minutes this morning, saw a sarcastic smirk by that bitch Megan Kelly about the "big old evil insurance companies" followed by an adoring report on Palin's lasted imbecilic spewing. I guess it's like watching a car wreck, you don't want to look but can't help it. Of course my local Comcast removed MSNBC off it's basic service so it's fucking Fox or CNN which is almost as bad. my breakfast gets eaten much faster these days. LOL

3. I don't, I have them locked out ...
I have digital on Comcast, so I locked out the Fox News Channel, the Fox Business Channel and the Fox Reality Channel. I need Fox for footbal (dammit), else they'd be blocked too.

Fuck 'em.

4. About as long as I can stomach MSNBC
or any of the tabloid cable 24-hour newzapalooza channels.

8. I guess its good to know what the wingnuts are saying....
although you pretty much know what they are going to say before they even say it. Very predictable in their propaganda. The sad part is they have brainwashed millions of people who believe the crap they put out is real "news". This causes the public to vote against its own best interests over and over again.

7. On a normal news day, 0 minutes... but on a day when the RW is PWNED
I love tuning in to see their sour grape reactions. I used to watch FNC all the time when I was younger but it wasn't good for my psyche.

10. You won't believe this
but I don't know what channel it is. I don't do much channel surfing but in the last few years I did by chance stop on Fox a couple of times and each time I was sick for several weeks. Come to think of it, perhaps this is the reason I do not channel surf. It is sort of like playing Wheel of Fortune and the wheel stops on "bankrupt".

14. It's hard to avoid
It's in the lobby of Holiday Inn Express, it's in the lobby of the YMCA when I go to pick up my kids, it's on at Scott & White clinic while I'm waiting for my appointment. And people watch like zombies. No wonder we're in this mess.

There has to be a way to get rid of this menace.

15. Studio B with Shepard Smith is the only show on that channel worth a look. He's the lone moderate
on that right-wingnut channel.
