Edited on Mon Mar-27-06 11:16 PM by Hissyspit
It was ridiculous! My jaw literally dropped. :wow:

Covering the serial-killer targeting prostitutes in Daytona Beach, they interviewed a police detective/investigator/spokesperson in a small window, while showing in a LARGE window footage of close-ups of bikinied buttocks and breasts of female revelers on the beach. All while this guy was seriously discussing the case. It was bizarre.

Watch the 1 p.m. rerun if you get a chance.

1. Unbelieveable. Isn't that the family values network?

4. Before you let your outrage get the better of you
I'm sure these were the bikini clad breasts and bottoms of young, white, attractive blond haired women. The kind that faux always highlights when they disappear.

2. The secret of Fox's success.
Edited on Mon Mar-27-06 11:20 PM by onehandle
Why do you think people watch Fox? For news? Hardly.

CNN still makes more money than Fox, because they attract higher paying advertisers.

Some companies don't want to associate their product with Fox's raunch.

5. It's probably the same thing, and it was the first chance Jon got to do it
since they don't have a Friday show (or weekend shows).

7. Self-Righteous Prurience ... those heartland values.
Edited on Mon Mar-27-06 11:28 PM by TahitiNut
It's OK to gorge on T&A as long as someone is offering the 'cover' of hellfire and damnation. I suspect SCOTUS conservatives (Justices and clerks) wallow in this every time a pornography case gets reviewed. I'm always reminded of the joke about the Mrs Grundy who complained to the police about the obscene phone call that lasted "for over a half an hour." Leave it to Faux - something for the whole family: cheap thrills. I would never expect Faux to pass up an opportunity to use people as a means to their end rather than an end in themselves - that's what objectification is all about, as well as the commoditization of human labor. Hell, that's their viewership's credo.

:shrug:

in coverage of a story on online porn. It is such a sleazy cable channel.

"Not really news, not quite porn"
