well, as presented, seems legit; unfortunately, there is so much distortion in these partisan news shows, that as i didn't see the pieces i know i have no idea what the truth is..having seen never seen keith olbermann have an opposing or contrasting viewpoint on his show, and his rabid jealousy of o'reilly's ratings i suspect there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

If they want to start calling themselves a comedy channel, then I'm all for it. Otherwise it's creepy. I don't see what's hard to understand about the concept. Conan, Kimmel, et al come on regular network television channels, which do not purportedly dedicate their entire existance to "NEWS," therefore they can play whatever they want without it being creepy.
Except for Small Wonder and Alf. Those were creepy but for different reasons.

to make you feel better it plays at midnight on the west coast...same time as jimmy kimmell

Given the bit you bolded, are you taking exception to the theory that news networks are as interested or MORE interested in entertainment that informing the public? I'm pretty sure that's what you are saying, but I wanted to be sure... Beaker wrote: Now you're going too far. These comments are the responsibility of those who uttered them — and they are the ones to be held accountable first.
If you have some conclusive proof that Fox management authorized this particular slam against the Canadian military, by all means, trot it out.

 Years ago, when i was consulting for GE medical, there was a rule for the managers: you made your numbers every quarter. No excuses. You failed, you lost your job. Period. One quarter, one of the managers wasn't making his number. He was sweating it. So on March 27th, he sold all the repair inventory. He made his number. No matter that all the other divisions that needed repair parts were screwed. He made his number. Fox management says, "Make your ratings. No excuses." What happens after that is not their problem. They can disclaim any responsibility. So long as Mr. Murdock is happy with the numbers. So no...they're not, um, directly involved...

Since I wasn't trying to say anything about Fox management, can I rephrase things to say that "we know that Fox staffers often make stuff up just to excite the base"? Can I, huh?  BTW, I'm sure that Rupert and his managers are pleased to have you standing ready to defend them.

 *edit* It's not likely that Fox management will take responsibility for anything. That's why Hannity, Beck and O'Reilly get away with the stuff they do.

For some reason I stayed up late last night and actually clicked on the show going back and forth between a thing about Stonehenge on NGC and Red Eye during commercials. I still haven't a clue what its about and iffen I never see it again it will be fine with me. I guess sometimes you dig way too deep to fill an hour of airtime. A test pattern would be preferred.
