Could 'journalism' get any worse than Murdoch's Fox?

How many National Enquirer-level idiocies, fabrications, paranoid delusions and cartoonish crackpotisms that issue from the mouths of Fox anchors, 'pundits' and other assorted dingalings might one count on any given day? Would that exercise be much different from tallying the number of times folks in Great Neck flush their toilets? Perhaps not.

But I think we ought to have a unique space here for folks to contribute to an on-going collection of Fox Network harebrain howlers.

Let me begin our happy portfolio with the following:

Fox News' Kilmeade: Sting would "be happy" in the Brazilian rainforest "raising money for those with plates in their lips"

Summary: On Fox News' Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade said that Sting, who founded the Rainforest Foundation, would "be happy to be down there [in Brazil] raising money for those with plates in their lips."
On the December 15 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade remarked that musical artist Sting, who founded the Rainforest Foundation in 1989 with wife Trudie Styler, would "be happy to be down there [in Brazil] raising money for those with plates in their lips." Kilmeade made his comment while discussing "holiday stuff" on the Fox & Friends set with co-hosts Steve Doocy and Lauren Green.

Precisely why some enterprising man invented the Fox Blocker:

You just plug it into your cable line and presto, no more dirty FOX programming on your TV. Great idea if you ask me.

If you don't care to watch Fox, nobody is going to force you...of course you will then miss out on a lot of interesting programs. I didn't say top quality, just interesting.

Nobody's saying they need to be taken off the air for people who want to watch it. Liberals don't do that, unlike Conservatives who want to completely control EVERYTHING EVERYBODY watches.

I thought the word 'journalism' in the first sentence might direct our attention to the news-like broadcasts rather than, say, shows featuring Paris Hilton's tits.

As to dial-turning, you are right of course. One didn't HAVE TO listen to a Goebbels radio broadcast.

But rather than yammering away here (we have sooo many other threads for that), let's keep this one to tracking the Fox idiotudes.

I consider myself to be leaning conservative and contrary to what you may want to believe, I have no desire to control, either partially or completely EVERYTHING EVERYBODY watches.

blatham - Fox & Friends is pure entertainment - kinda like NBC's "Today Show" or ABC's "Good Morning America". Really, it's just the three you mentioned chatting over coffee, sometimes having celebrities on to promote books, movies, TV shows, etc.

Brian is a hoot. I don't get to watch it regularly, but I know I'm not the only one who's wondered if he's really that dumb, or is it just an act to entertain us (he's not telling LOL). I find him somewhat charming in a "doofus-goofus" kind of way.

I'm amazed you've overlooked a recent bit of "tracking" concerning Fox that would blow your socks off, though. I won't intrude on your joy of finding it for yourself, though.

Merry Christmas Smile
