Fox and History Channel to merge---it'll be all Hitler, all the time!
The heads of the History Channel and Fox News announced Monday their two cable networks will merge to form a new channel, to be called the Fox History News Conspiracy Channel.

The move was initiated by Roger Ailes, president of the Fox News Channel, after Jewish leaders called on Fox talk show host Glenn Beck to stop comparing everyone he dislikes to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.

“It used to be that people referred to the History Channel as ‘the Hitler Channel’ because it spent so much time on World War II,” Ailes said. “Now that the History Channel has moved on to other things, and with Glenn Beck having such a Nazi fetish, it seemed only natural that we use what little credibility the History Channel has left to stifle our critics.”

Ailes pointed out the daily references to Nazis on his network and said the merger became inevitable after Beck repeatedly claimed that billionaire George Soros was a Nazi conspirator and participated in the Holocaust.

1. The top of The Chicago Dope website says: Never True
So, basically that website is nothing more than an Onion copycat ;)

3. History Revisionism... THAT's the Goal
FOX and Murdoch have no place in America. They are a danger to our republic and I really wish more people realized this.

5. Give it time
Eventually Fox viewers will either die off or realize they've been had.

7. Not too far from the truth... "History" has been catering to the RW lately with a lot of their

programs.

"Decoded" is full of World News Daily style conspiracy theories. Crap like that is unsubstantiated hocus-pocus and should in no way be confused with REAL history.

Then you have "American Pickers" and "Pawn Stars" which are interesting in the artifacts they find, but all those shows really do is attach dollar signs to the past.

They are even giving "Larry the Cable Guy" his own show. Think about that for a second. The guy who built his reputation on being stupid is getting a show on "History".
