FOX Snooze

Apparently the world has now discovered that the inappropriately named FOX News is in reality, FOX Views. You’re surprised? I thought so.

Yes, sadly I must report that FOX News really isn’t a news organization at all; it is simply the propaganda arm of the RNC.  FOX Views employees are distraught at their outing, in fact rumor has it that Roger Ailes, Reich minister for Propaganda, er I mean Fox Views president,  in the days following this discovery, aimlessly wandered the Fox Views corridors, openly weeping on his autographed pic of old Joe Goebbels.  Poor Roger, he has even been reduced to begging candidates not to back out of debates sponsored by FOX Views, and as a show of good faith has promised to refrain from any jokes equating Osama to Obama.

There can be no questioning the impact FOX Views has had on television news. Executives at competing networks began the process of dumbing down newsrooms at almost the same time FOX Views ratings began to skyrocket. In fact most news executives will admit openly that they prefer to employ second rate hack reporters, news anchors who can make the news up as they go, and pundits who couldn’t predict rain in the middle of the monsoon season. They have concluded that this is the only way to compete for the FOX Views demographic. This begs a question however. Why would anyone want to appeal to the Fox Views demographic? 

None of this is news to anyone who has followed media in this country over the last decade. Fox earned its’ reputation by preaching to the choir, but Fox has picked up the scent of hard times ahead and suddenly Roger Ailes wants to talk about journalistic responsibility. I certainly applaud his sentiment; journalistic integrity is paramount in a free and democratic society. Let’s hope that Mr. Ailes, will begin to practice what he preaches by requiring a bit of integrity from his very own Fox Views staff, I just might listen to his sermon then.

For your viewing pleasure and enjoyment feel free to browse a bit of Fox Views videos:
