I was hoping that as a service to America, they would drop Fox News, or as it's called at the Sandcastle Water Park, Fox "News".

1. That is soooo funny! But it's a shame DirecTV couldn't side with the 99% and drop

everything Fox except local Fox (Family Guy, Simpsons) and maybe Fox Movie Channel.

2. Check out Channel 34

"FOX 'News'"

:rofl:

IMO it deserves more than parentheses; it deserves a fucking asterisk - at which the following may be read: "We use the term 'News' in the loosest possible sense of the word. This organization is more properly defined as a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party - a mighty Wurlitzer that plays the sweetest of music for their intellectually incurious viewers to the exclusion of anything that could be construed as truthful or having any basis in fact whatsoever."
