A British take on American cable news, with extensive focus on (3:02) “the fair and balanced newsmen of dystopian future sci-fi satirical shouting [??] sledgehammer channel Fox News…
“Fox generally leans more to the right than a man who’s just had his right leg blown off.”
They understand us pretty well over there…

Thanks, Gil. The best part is, it comes from a foreign country. |

| gsmart 4/12/09 3:00 AM | It's probably one of the most devastating, dead-on things I've ever seen. Is this what American looks like from "across the pond?" Do Europeans generally think we're crazy? Because they're watching Fox and Glenn Beck? I've decided that Glenn Beck is designed to appeal to women. All the crying; surveys shows women basically hate wingers, so here's some kinder, gentler, goofier wingnuttery. But to a crowd that's so tied to the idea of manly men - I mean, the dude's crying. This ain't gonna fly. Beck's ratings soar while the Republican Party's ratings tank. Which is FOX going to prove more loyal to? |

Which is FOX going to prove more loyal to? I can't think of a normal woman who would be attracted to that. I mean, seriously. That is a major offense to your female readers. Do you really underestimate our intelligence that much? For God's sake, that statement sounds like something Bill'O would say. Very sexist on your part. I'm actually pretty shocked you said that, and I'm disappointed. I guess you're not as evolved as you pretend to be. Don't you have a daughter? Shame! Glenn Beck is one of those media bit players who attracts people on the fringes, just like extreme liberals on the left. Just because he happens to cry sometimes doesn't mean he automatically clues into the female mind. If you don't think most of us can't spot crocodile tears when we see them, you're a fool. |

| reese 4/12/09 11:33 AM | LOL! What's really scary is, it's not too far off the mark! |
