Charles Barkley: Fox News "Fucked Up"

[dennis4868]

Charles Barkley, the former NBA star, 2014 candidate for Alabama Governor, and one-time proud Republican, trashed Fox News in an interview with television trade publication Broadcasting & Cable, saying the network is "fucked up" and "corrupt," and that he prefers CNN.

B&C's Ben Grossman reports:

"I watch CNN, they're not fucked up like Fox," Barkley told B&C. "They are a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. I watch a couple times when there is someone I want to see on there. But they're corrupt."


When asked whether he is just shilling for his parent company (TNT and CNN are corporate cousins), Barkley denies that he has to stick up for his team.

1. I have always loved Charles

Usually dont agree with him, but he is hilarious.

[dennis4868]

2. I find myself agreeing with him more and more...

since he left the repub party....

[BlooInBloo]

3. I think he's still pretty hardcore anti-gay, and he's got a lot of jackass statements...

That'll kill him.

I'm not convinced he's very bright, either. Of course, it's only Alabama we're talking about - I'm sure he's a standard deviation or two above the average there.

the grass much greener anywhere else.

7. Sir Charles was on the Dan Patrick show on XM today and I found

out he's pro choice and said let the gays marry, it's nobody's business what adults do. :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: Couldn't believe it, I might just have to send him a few bucks when he's get into the Alabama Governors race!!!

8. And if my memory serves me right, Barkely used to id as a Republican. n/t

9. Yes, he used to tell a story

about how his grandmother asked him one day why he was a Republican, because the Republican party was for "rich people". He told her "I AM rich".
But later he saw the light- realized that he could be rich AND smart.

12. One of my former roommates banged Barkley

He's gross. Picked her up in a meat market dance bar in Cleveland and asked her to come back to his room at the Ritz. We tried to talk her out of it sourcing Magic Johnson and others but she did it anyway. He gave her $200 for a cab ride back to about 30 miles south of Cleveland the next day.

I picked up the phone one day and it was him calling her. I asked how many girls he'd slept with since my roomate. He called me an asshole. Must have hit a nerve.
