Fox News thread of fine journalism

Which is a good thing.

Except those gullible idiots still vote.

I think Gwyneth Paltrow would disagree.

Was this linked here already? Discourse tells me no.

BUT…in 2000 when I started at Fox as a paid contributor (aka “hitman’) and asked my new boss (like my pal Joan Walsh from Slate .com asked him in 2000 as well) “So Roger tell me…who is your Fox News target audience and what turns ’em on?”

What he told me . . . of course “off-the-record” . . . should not be shocking. But now that he is gone, it’s time to be real and tell the truth about Fox News . . about everything I lived and experienced in my 14 years as a paid contributor and part-time anchor on Fox Business Network.

Bolling out for lewd text messages:

Fox News has parted ways with host Eric Bolling, the network confirmed Friday, just over a month after an exclusive HuffPost report revealed Bolling sent inappropriate text messages to current and former female colleagues.

News of the departure comes after two HuffPost reports revealed a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Bolling, who co-hosts “Fox News Specialists.” Fox News will cancel the program, it said in a statement.

“Eric Bolling and Fox have agreed to part ways amicably,” the network said. “We thank Eric for his ten years of service to our loyal viewers and wish him the best of luck.”

Pre-Fox and hate radio:
“Vietnam War bad!”

After:
“Vietnam War good!”

Man, Bolling’s 19 year old son was found dead last night. He was a student at Colorado. Only child. Very sad.

TMZ is saying it was suicide.

Very sad.

Yup. This is what we live in now.

No harm meant, they’re just asking questions!

I’ve lost track of the ordinal sequence of who is first up against the wall when the revolution comes, but this shit has to increment everyone involved in F&F, no?

Well yeah. Pretty much any major Fox News host is safely ensconced in the upper echelons of the list.

Damn. Time to get some Old Glory Robot Insurance.

Would make for some pretty interesting obits, at least.

I’m wagering on someone first dying at the hands of a sex robot by overclocking the “Hurt Me Good” setting.

“Hey baby … wanna kill all humans?”

That’s a Futurama reference! I’m in on the joke for once!
