7:50am central, Maddow was on and I think to myself, who the "F" turned the channel to that crap?


It was on FOX.

Now that is Fair & Balanced!
But a FOX News Downgrade.

I'm serious as a heart attack on the 4th of July!

I didn't believe it either, until I verified it was really on the FOX News channel.

I saw the Maddow commercial on FOX News also. What she says is so damn stupid it's actually a slap in the face to not only her, but to the cable network she works for.

Huh?

Can you say that again real slow, for us.


It was an MSNBC advertizement. Had the MSNBC logo at the end of the commercial.

Advertising revenue is advertising revenue. Money trumps ideological purity every time. Why do you think Fox dumped Beck? Because they suddenly realized he was nuts? No, because he was hemorraging viewers and sponsors.

Our favorite netwoks may have picked out profitable political niches for themselves, for the sake of ratings, but they are corporations. Their bottom line is $$$$$$$$.

<< who the "F" turned the channel to that crap?>>

I always try to consider opinions from as many different points on the spectrum as possible. It is obvious by now that no one side has all the answers. It is fun to cheer for your team, but we're in real trouble here. We have to work together to try to figure a way out of this mess.

Or, we can just continue to veer from the left ditch to the right ditch with each election, till we flip the Family Camry.

Dump Obama 2012

Fox is hardly threatened by NBC. Why not take their advertising money?
