It must have been a free preview, not that I watched it a hell of a lot. I was thinking of phoning Shaw Cable soon to make sure I wasn't paying for that dreck, but it's gone. Good riddance, the samll amount of Bill O'Reilly I saw surprised me, he was even more sickening than I could possibly have imagined.

1. I stopped to watch for a moment or two

After having not watched Fox for the last 8 months. I was struck by two things.

1. How amazingly transparent they are!

I don't know if they've just gotten worse since I last saw it or if it was because I hadn't seen it in so long, but it seemed to have even less credibility than it used to. It doesn't even look legit anymore.

2. It wasn't nearly as rage inducing as it used to be.

I look upon it now in a sort of sad bemusement. I think far fewer people are buying this crap than people think.

2. Bill O'Reilly
is sickening. I didn't like to watch him even before the scandal that rocked his whole "truth and unbiased" spin. He is a arrogant man who has gone against his whole entire soap box of a program. Outside of that however, I thought it was shameful what he did to his children and his wife. The whole loofah gate thing? :puke:

3. Wow, I just checked and it says...
Not authorized! Now, the others that are subscription only state exactly that, subscription only.

I wonder what Faux did to qualify for for that tag? I hope they contravened CRTC rules and have been turfed from Canada!!
