It'd be great if he had enough integrity to resign, but if not, fire him. This is, "wait six months hoping everyone forgets about it then we'll go on like it never happened." But I, too, hope it means we don't hear about it anymore. <i>I</i> fired him, and most of the rest of the talking heads, a long time ago -- can't really stand to even watch MSNBC much anymore. The way they produce news these days gets on my last nerve -- a lot of it due to following Fox News in the ratings war -- things like random sound effects, bips and boops, dings and wooshes -- drive me nuts. And the content is an endless rehash of exactly the same shit.<br /><br />Here endeth the rant.<br /><br />As for Fox:<br /><br />Nobody "serious" is going to attack Fox, Fox has been too successful. Fox is the model. Why would you dis the model?mlbxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931351723996391533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-14892711784158086652015-02-11T12:29:49.374-05:002015-02-11T12:29:49.374-05:00Eh - if the Daily Show ceases to be a media commen...Eh - if the Daily Show ceases to be a media commentary show and becomes something else, then someone will pick up the "skewering of the media" gig that Stewart had and continue to do it - there's too much comedy to be mined from it.<br /><br />And if you're skewering the media these days you have to put Fox News right at the top - it's the highest rated AND consistently provides the most fodder for mockery. And because they're the highest rated it means you're always punching up, not down - which makes for the best kind of comedy.<br /><br />I mean, CNN also puts on some egregiously stupid baloney on a daily basis, but nobody watches them so there are only so many times you can mock Don Lemon before it becomes sad instead of funny. Mocking Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity never gets old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-51755830376685208652015-02-11T11:19:01.464-05:002015-02-11T11:19:01.464-05:00Beautiful, Steve.

But, I don't underestimate the imaginations of Murdoch and Ailes.<br /><br />Maybe the MSM will see it, now that Stewart will be gone, to continue of expand on his FOX criticism.<br /><br />RPTFLMAO!!! <br />Sometimes, I even crack myself up.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
