Do any of you watch this? Lately I have been investigating it. It is scary ****ing shit. I am worried that some Americans might take it seriously. I have noticed a correlation. It runs thus. Those with the most insane opinions (I'm talking to you, Obama Is the Anti-Christ crew) tend to have the worst grammar and the most guns.

At the moment, I am a little freaked. I have been watching a man called Glenn Beck, who personifies the term Batshit ****íng Crazy. Then there is one called Rush Limbaugh. And Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity.

Long story short, I am never ever going to diss the BBC ever ever ever again.

Anyway, all of these men, none of them journalists, work for Fox News. Fox News is apparently the number one cable TV channel in the US.

So, if you do watch it, do you believe this tripe?

Also, if so, have you noticed the remarkably swift turnaround from when Bush was in charge? If memory serves, Bush also sanctioned a fairly healthy bailout, and watched the Federal Reserve whack out a few others. Maybe Jon Stewart was right. Maybe all the Batshit Crazy is is Fox reacting to McCain losing the election.

Final Note:

One day, should I have the opportunity, I am going to lob a great big lovely giant dictionary over the Atlantic and watch with glee as it arrives. I will watch the Fox people read it and their faces light up as they learn to distinguish between the words 'socialism' and 'communism'. The EU is largely socialist, but we are not by any means on the verge of communism. Then there are the special Batshit Crazy who cannot seem to tell apart socialism, communism, and fascism. For the love of God. Do something to your schools. Pronto.

So then, Americans of TFF, what do you think of Fox News?

Also, what are the other cable channels like in relation? Can any of them be relied upon not to have moments of the Batshit?

Or you could just sum up how you feel about American media today. Maybe that's a better way of phrasing it.

As always, ta.
