One of my favorite things in life is when someone — either because they’re just reaching a point in their life where they start to pay attention, or because they’re from someplace outside of the U.S. — discovers Fox News and they’re all “WTF is this garbage!?”
Case in point: last year a friend from New Zealand stayed with me for a few days. At some point I went out to run some errands and while I was out I received a text from her that went something like this: “What the bloody hell is this Fox News crap? Watching it makes me feel like I’m in Eastern Europe post-World War II. It’s a straight up political propaganda machine!” “Yep,” I said in response, “you pretty much nailed it.”
Today Frank Ocean had a similar moment. I’m guessing he was watching Fox & Friends? Welcome to the world of the enlightened, Frank.

and yet waaaay too many people buy into every single word they say.
MY PARENTS!!!
Mrs Spleener inexplicably sits and watches this shit whilst getting ready for work. She’s a liberal and isn’t watching it for a laugh/ironically but it is as if she doesn’t see the message. It’s the weirdest thing. I actually enjoy watching her watching it more than I enjoy hate-watching Fox News!
I get enough Fox News from The Daily Show and Colbert Report clips. The thought of watching it voluntarily…
Funny. I say the same thing regarding reality shows when I watch The Soup, lol.
So, is this going to be a political site form now on? Just saying, you guys seem to be pushing your political opinions more and more, not that I disagree with what you have to say, it’s just that this is not why I come here.
Its impossible to avoid politics at this stage in the game, as much as we want to. The only alternative is to make fun of them.
Today I realized that if there was a severely autistic political pundit, he’d be the only one to listen to in an election.
it is election season
It says right in the mission statement that warming glow will provide us with the best and worst of tv and fox news is certainly the worst network on tv.
He’s just discovering FOX news now? Oh boy is he in for a surprise.
I only watch Fox News for the hot, conservative, racist blonde bitches
Wait until he sees all the boyish lesbians on MSNBC….wait no one watches MSNBC…who is just as openly biased as Fox news is
yeah but at least they don’t straight up make up shit
or you know… spout homophobic, racial, or sexiest dribble just to drum up ratings. I’ve never understood the comparison between the two networks.
