I sat through a grueling piece on NPR last week on a 45 minute drive from the Gables. It was a piece on Roger Ailes, the author of some book that is out. That bitches about Roger's success with FOX, it even goes as far as to feel sorry for him.
They talked about how some mid western people called in complained because when they turned their TV off at night, the FOX logo was burned into the screen. "From watching it all day?" "Oh yes, of course, from having it on droning and indoctrinating them with the GOP agenda and message" the author exclaimed.
They were outraged by this, and even more so, that FOX made the logo spin to fix the problem, rather than the viewers just turning the damn thing off.
Like I'm sure Hufopoo wouldn't like to have that problem?
Then they talked about Roger and how he runs FOX and how he gets in early and sets the tone for all of the other anchors and reporters that work for FOX to rile about all day.
I really wanted to stop them right there. But since I couldn't, I'll ask you guys...
DO you Clowns really think people are that fucking stupid, that Obama and the Liberals in Washington are doing a fine damn job. And all of the people who have lost faith in Obama or even complains about his ineptitude as a leader, don't even have an original thought in their heads? What we're all just cool with this shit, and all it takes is Rosh Limbaugh to say something on the radio, that Roger Ailes heard on the drive into work, then went to his office and ranted and made notes on the dry ease board, that Glen Beck then repeated on air, that O'Reily then heard, that I then heard O'Reily repeat on his show from the Norton's lunch counter, as FOX played on the television?
NO!!!!! FOX has the ratings because they are the only God damn son of a bitch, even bothering to preach to the choir. It's like that bad awful Coworker that you can't stand at work. But your boss was even a bigger tool, so when that person comes to you and say, "Hey did you hear, Mike Crappola, got canned yesterday? Things are looking up..."
Now even though you hate this person so bad, and your natural instinct would be to just punch him, you can't control your self as you excitedly jump up and exclaim... "I KNOW RIGHT?! OH My god I thought he'd Neeeeevah leave..."
