Yes, screw them. But not for the reason you’re probably thinking about. You’re probably thinking I’m going to complain about their conservative bias, or about how much of a jackhole Bill O’Reilly is, or any number of other things people on the interwebs like to say about Fox News.
Forget all that stuff. What I’m all in a lather about is the retarded shit that they put on their website about celebrities and fashion and all manner of crap like that. Exhibit number one, this crap right here.
What is this? Nevermind the economic crisis. What? Seriously? I can just forget about it now? AWESOME! You mean it’s fixed? Oh wait, no, that’s not what you meant at all. What you meant was, “Nevermind the economic crisis, CHECK OUT WHAT MICHELLE OBAMA IS WEARING!!!”.
Now, personally I’m not convinced that the G20 conference is going to come up with a magic plan to save us from Great Depression II. In fact, if I had to bet money on it, I’d bet that whatever they try to do to “fix” it will probably do no good at all, or serve to make it worse.
But worrying about what Michelle Obama and first lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are wearing to the conference? That’s about as far down the list of crap I care about as you can go. And yet, Fox News is CONSTANTLY running stories like this on their website. They even have an entire section called Pop Tarts dedicated to the inane doings of dumb people nobody sane cares about.
Come on Fox. We already have entire magazines dedicated to this crap for people who actually might care. Keep it the hell off your “news” site.
I actually don’t mind Fox News’ conservative bias — granted, it’s generally neocon bias, which isn’t particularly “conservative,” but it’s still nice to have something contrasting with the liberal bias from, oh, say, CNN.
You’re right about G20 making everything worse. Just like somebody once said, the only thing better than the mess the government makes in the first place is the additional mess from its propsed “fixes.”
I at least like that CNN.com keeps the bullshit stories about celebutantes and “what’s the first lady wearing to the big conference!!” to a minimum. Foxnews.com has that crap featured prominently on the front page.
Oh yeah, I’m not saying I’m a giant fan of Fox News. The only thing I really like about it is that it never stops being hilarious to use “Fair and Balanced” to describe stuff that’s hopelessly off-kilter. I’m just saying it’s not really any more biased than any other news outlet — it’s just biased in a different direction and beholden to a different political party.
Pardon me; that’s not entirely true. I also like Freedom Watch with good ol’ boy Judge Napolitano.
Quite a website you have in here. I find myself spending great deal of my time just browsing through your posts. By the way, I happen to be writing articles myself on topics like DIY boat planswhich is my field of interest as well. I really appreate it if you can take the time to go over my website.
