I see FOX news on so many places, bars, fast food places doctors offices etc. I would love to drop a flier at their counters making them aware that their choice is not everyone else's choice.

11. Discount on what?

They are providing the service or product.

If it is a discount on the CABLE or Satellite service, they will lose more in customers like myself who refuse to sit and be bombarded by the bull shit.

He occasionally sounds reasonable on his radio show. Certainly moreso than Hannity.

There was just a reference to Geraldo in the text.

I didn't think he should be lumped together with Hannity, who seems much much worse.

At the height of Dubya's War, too!

I say, lump away! He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, at best...at worst, he's a danger to himself and others...he didn't quite give away the coordinates and the passwords, but he behaved stupidly. It's clear he didn't pay attention at his little "embed" briefing.

When he got plastic surgery, he had fat from his ass injected into his forehead...




Geraldo continued throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s to capitalize on his the sensational aspects of his reputation. He inserted himself into the talk show narrative often using his own exploits and bodily desires to fill out the issue at hand. In a show on plastic surgery, Rivera had fat sucked from his buttocks and injected into his forehead in a procedure to reduce wrinkles. A few years later, in another procedure, he had his eyes tucked on the show. The publication of his autobiography Exposing Myself in the fall of 1991 caused a major stir due to Rivera's revelations of his numerous affairs. In 1993, Rivera tried to recoup his former role as a "serious" journalist by hosting a nightly news talk show on CNBC called Rivera as well as continuing the daytime Geraldo.

But then I find myself hating on the haters. I know better, but I don't think I can be Zen enough to love any Republicans. Shiver.

16. The problem with cable news

If you want better quality news fox, or msnbc for that matter speak to a specific constituency. There is no news in the news.
I admit I watch msnbc

But I'd rather watch Al Jazeera, Realnews, and BBC.

Although liberal or progressive, there is news in their news. They provide some background as to why our dear democracy acts as it does.
