Could Faux show just a little respect?
Guess not. Was just watching Obama at the Tomb of the Unknown and turned to FauxNews to see if they even were showing it. They were, but have to get a dig in however they can. Steve Doocey's comment- "Who would ever thought 'THAT GUY' would be the next President .....' Show just a little respect you POS!

1. Why put yourself through it? ... Why watch Faux?

Or were you just channel surfing?

13. I don't watch Faux
but when I'm at the gym, that's always the first channel on. That and HGTV (two channels that need to be wiped off the face of this earth).

21. my background
I grew up with a mother who talked about nothing but home decorating and home type stuff. I have an aunt that could be described as Martha Stewart on steroids.

For most of my life, my mom was constantly rearranging, repainting, redecorating and after awhile enough is enough. And sometimes the only things I would hear from her was which color of paint, and I stopped caring a long time ago. I get utterly bored with home stuff very fast. I was ODed on that stuff by the time my age reached double digits.

I also don't really care what someone else's kitchen looks like and I definitely do not find that entertaining in any way, shape, or form. If given the choice between watching HGTV (or any of the other decorating shows on TV) and watching paint dry, I would choose the latter.

I also place a partial blame on HGTV for the housing crisis (there was an article posted here a few weeks ago backing up my claim). They make it seem like a house isn't worthy if the countertops are not granite, appliances are not stainless steel, etc.

BTW I am not actually from the garden state. I just live there now. I'm originally from Hillary Clinton territory.

2. I agree with everything you say, except perhaps
- I don't think one should ever ask *-holes to show respect. That gives them power - to show respect or not. It's better to just state what they do.

4. They're preaching to an empty church
Edited on Sun Jan-18-09 10:49 AM by lunatica
No one of any consequence whatsoever is watching them anymore. They're reduced to being a circular firing squad. They are toast. Ignore the death throws and the spasms because it's going to take a while before they realize they're dead to the world. They are the embodiment of the carcass of the last administration and are only repeating their meaningless dogma like a broken robot stuttering it's programmed phrases but which belongs on a garbage heap.

5. Fox News and respect are mutually exclusive terms.

11. Brian Kilmeade
He started out as a sports guy and now fancies himself a right wing political pundit. I didn't hear anything bad from him today, but I had it on for less than 5 minutes- just heard the comments after the Tomb ceremony. I really rarely if ever listen to Faux News, but was just checking to see if they even carried the ceremony. However, Brian is on XM radio every morning with Judge Napolitano and is vicious. He'll have a field day with Obama and the Inaugural all this week. :grr:

12. I can't stand that moran
Most of the FAUX crew I can just laugh at. Even Hannity and O'Reilly. But I can't look at Kilmeade without wanting to beat his fucking face in. And I don't say that about many people. I can't even really say why I want to beat the shit out of him, I just do.

8. Yip, Chris WALLACE just put PELOSI through the fire
Arguing with her every answer, insterrupting with combative crap, NOTHING of the cowering and deference when they "do" CHEENEE and Shrub AND lesser Rethugs. It's nothing I don't expect, but am just joining in on the saying part. But it's hard to top DOOCY as a scumbag, unless it's his partner KILMEADE. It's incredible that KILMEADE once worked as something (intern?) with LETTERMAN. It was hilarious a couple of months ago that KILMEADE tried to play with the big boys and demanded diva wages in his new contract and was told to take it or take a cut in pay, and he had to back down and slink back to his place under a rock. Plus, DOOCY has had to swallow being a weatherman and having to do weatherman chores while co-hosting.

10. Stay away from the Faux morning hacks
avoid the nighttime right-wing machinery and stick with the straight news over there which pretty much boils down to Shep Smith and Trace Galleger and you won't hear this kind of bullshit.

15. They suck, thoroughly.
They are absolutely horrible. And in Ohio it is not at all hard to find someone sing their praises for being so very Fair and Balanced. Of course Faux watchers believe everything else is tainted by left wing ideology.

17. If you go to a place with a tv,
and that tv is playing FOX, sports, sitcoms, or reality shows, then it is a good time to close your mouth, open your eyes, and leave quickly.

18. I have never watched that 'news'..
now I try to stay away from any Fox programming..but it's kind of hard to determine what they produce when it's on other channels.
