So now if we think Fox is stupid and biased, we're Marxists?

I think you've just proven the OP's point. You must have learned what a Marxist is from watching Fox news.

I don't watch the show but there I can see no reason whatsoever to show disrespect for people who do.

Or maybe this is a liberal thing?

I have no idea as to what all liberals think. I am only speaking for myself on this issue. Most of T.V. now is terrible. IMO.

The only problem? They continue to be smacked down by the success of Fox News. All the effort to demonize, demagogue and discredit has been for NAUGHT. Fox News destroys the competition night after night.

Remember, the Left has to have a target to deflect away from their ruinous policies - we've seen it before, the Koch Bros, Rush - their continued FAILED War on Fox is just another in a long line of FAILED attempts to marginalize those that oppose their views.

That is NOT what Strel said. He is pointing out the fact that women on faux news are the equivalent of Kroger cashiers, IQ-wise...I am female and respect Strel's opinion.

lmao, that some1 is offended regarding my DWTS comment...yes I managed 250 people at a bank call center, they watched that pathetic show. as well as "American Idol"

I also had to instruct them on how to use the volume and pound sign on a telephone

None of my relatives watch that trash.
If I did have a child he/she would be going to museums in NYC, not watching reality garbage.

gee we are such elitists, those of us who think for ourselves

You really are fond of straw man arguments, aren't you?

Come back when you are ready to address what I actually wrote, which was about how Fox, MSNBC AND CNN all dress up their fluff broadcasts (no pun intended) with broad shots of a broad's legs under the table or Robin Meade's cleavage.

If I want that, I can Google up me some porn. I'd rather look at Jim Lehrer's ugly mug and get the facts than listen to Robin Meade be a bimbo on CNN. And yes, Fox is the worst of the bunch for that too.

Yes its a "liberal" thing to want to watch something educational like "Frontline" or listen to NPR or Charlie Rose . {sarc}

trash tv is sadly here to stay (cheap production, lousy "reality" personalities), but they cant keep up with the educated who are tuning out.

Somebody has to make TV for the dumb people.

What scares me is that if art imitates life, the idiots seem to be taking over.

Appealing to the lowest intellectual common denominator is always going to be both popular and profitable, because there's just way more stupid people out there than smart people.

Left my ass. This is about quality of TV. Fox is the worst. MSNBC comes in second only because Fox is actually PROUD of their ignorance and makes even less of an effort to hide their bias than MSNBC.

Enjoy your Kool-Aid.
