Once again, George Carlin said it best:

George Carlin on FCC [1988] - YouTube

"There are two knobs on the radio! One of them turns the radio off, and the other one.. changes the station!"

It's all entertainment folks! The first order of business is to make money for the network. The second order of business = the first order of business. When the ratings hit 0, then you will see these folks disappear. Until then, by posting about them, you only give them unwarranted attribution.

No one else realizes that "The Jon Stewart Show" is NOT Fox News?
Nice try, when you actually have an example of Fox News doing it (not an entertainer that has a show on Fox) post it up.

Well, they don't have to do it for the zombies, but they sure do for more to join the crew.

Since I do not fit either of those categories, I would never watch a lying orginization that calls itself 'news', such as Faux News.
That's like saying, "I hate apples," without ever having tasted one.

Credibility: ZERO

Democratic Rep. Gary Ackerman, a retiring Congressman that has represented Queens, New York since 1983, told Bloomberg in an interview that he believes “the people have gotten dumber.”
I seldom agree with democrats on anything but I certainly agree with this.

I don't think people have gotten dumber, but that dumb people have been given more weapons in an effort to take over the world.

LOL are you serious? Jon Stewart showed you how FOX edited the video.

You didn't expect Hannity to point out his own hypocrisy did you?

Watching Fox or for that matter any of these commentators on any of the channels will kill brain cells. Fast food news from commentators on "News" networks IMO does make people dumber. Instead of reporting the news, they are deciding what the news means so you don't have to come to your own conclusions, they have done that for you.
