a confession: my husband watches Fox News.
There. I said it.

I tell him every single night that he's watching the worst crap possible. I make fun of him. I snicker. I ask him how he can stand it. He says he knows it's bad but he likes what they report...they report stuff other networks don't (hmmmmmmm? :spank:). He doesn't get it. It's hopeless. I am a widow to Faux News. He despises BushCo! I just don't get it.

No, I don't watch with him. I don't watch TV at all.

He watches O'Reilly too. :cry:

I'm glad I got that off my chest.

2. No. He's 57 and has never voted Republican. Although, he
can be a little conservative in an old fashioned way.

Honestly he thinks Bush is a complete asshole. He loves Fox though. I think it's all the pretty flashing lights.

4. Maybe he's just sizing up
what the competition has to say. Maybe. :hi:

8. Are you sure he's not watching it for entertainment value,
much like someone watches a train wreck? They don't do journalism over there anymore (even the pretense of objectivity has been slain), but there is something morbidly amusing about the sideshow that Fox News is. It does become tragic though, when you see the few people over there with journalistic credentials whore themselves.

Of course, there are many on Fox I simply cannot tolerate. Hannity. The smug bastard John Gibson. It can be infuriating.

9. yes that's what it is. As I posted; he likes, I think, the flashing
lights, and pretty colors, and whooshing sounds. Like a carnival.

Very sad.

DO you watch it for entertainment? If you say Yes I'll feel greatly relieved!

10. It's pure entertainment. There's no journalism over there.
