But you're not watching the people that eat it up, you're watching the exact thing that you criticize other people for watching...

It's a pretty basic premise, you claim that people who watch Fox News are fools and in the same breath you admit to watching Fox News a lot.

A number of conservatives here have said they watch MSNBC for amusement. I don't think of them as fools.

I might mute the sound, leave Obama on the screen, and play this really old, really dirty Redd Foxx record I found years ago. (The one with the routine on it about Fugg soap).

Do you think that people of any political persuasion who watch FOX news for any reason are fools?

A big, red R for this post. An exceptionally ignorant, offensive post.

Well, I tried watching Hannity for a couple of nights recently. I concluded that it was a foolish waste of time. Does that count?

I've watched them every year since they started televising them, why stop now. Probably even caught a few on the radio back before TV. Some things are just tradition. You do them because it just seems like the right thing to do.
