I can't believe it is that old...where was I when it started?

I only became aware of it when bush stole the elections in 2000

1. imagine it as a teenager...

I wonder if it is an only child -- if I was the parents I would not want another one...

3. When Lil Kim boomed his bomb

they were crooning about how special they are. It was fucking funny. Took them ten minutes to get it on. Had to go through the 'filter' first. :rofl:

CNNIN was on it from the moment it happen.

4. i'm not sure "we" can , the same crowd that keeps Limbaugh on air

even through the drug use and other stuff are probably going to keep Fox on the air.

8. I think it'll reach 11-12

Remember, even total victory this November still leaves the White House in control of the enemy.
They use Fox to distribute orders and propaganda to the faithful. It's a reliable mouthpiece for them and they'll want to keep it running.
Fox will be there as long as enough of the Alcoa Beret crowd tunes in to attract advertisers.

I bet they would even run the channel at a loss to spew propaganda to their cult.

10. Fox's ratings are the highest among the 'News' channels.

Fox will outlast MSNBC, IMO. Both channels have 'sugar-daddy' owners, but Fox makes money, I think.

There's no doubt there is an audience for Fox, Limbaugh, etc. They're not going off the air.

That's the only way to "be sure".

13. Murdoch's not selling it.

It's probably his favorite US property. Makes money (like Fox movies, but unlike the NY Post) and feeds his need to spread right wing propaganda
