4. I'm wondering if any of the controversy re Faux News . . . Glen Beck, etal . . .
President calling them out -- which I think he did?

Has any of that effected their viewership or the confidence of their viewers?

2. very funny
too bad I'm told it's just a comedy show and has no social value. I guess all those people will just miss a good skit by TDS team. What a concept comedians have social worth too.

3. I loved it when he showed that letter from FOX
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 12:06 AM by Bill219
In which they admit the hours that FAUX NEWS has the supposedly "real" news programs on and the hours that it is not

But then blows that lie away by showing clips of the alleged real news people carrying on with the propaganda and opinion so they can be used as "some sources say" by their entertainers like Beck, O Reilly and Hannity later in the evening.

It was absolutely brilliant

Here is Media Matters story on the episode

5. "It was absolutely brilliant" You can say that again.
Everyone in the country should watch Jon's break down of how FOX operates.

Bravo! Jon
