Fox News Alert

Dear ecopal,

I am sorry about the misspelling but I promise I'll get out my dictionary in the future. But then, please cut some of us some slack. We may not be as educated or knowlegeable as you are. Sorry 'bout that. I like Fox News so I watch it and believe it or not, I do know where the "off" button is on the remote. May I respectfully suggest you find out where it is on "your" remote?

I don't care for the yelling and the attacks practiced by on-the-air "personalities" of all the networks. Today I was watching CNBC and they were interviewing Obama's financial policy advisor. I was interested in hearing some actual policy discussed as an answer to a thoughtfully posed question, when Joe (the former stock picker guy) lit into him with what can only be described as a "how can you possibly be right" kind of question, effectively shutting off the info. I didn't learn a thing, other than to discover Joe's recto-cranial inversion.

Couple of weeks ago, Hannity was interviewing Tom Brokaw about his new book and started a similar attack on him. Brokaw, no slouch, answered more or less "I thought you asked me for MY opinion. I can't explain it while you're telling us YOURS".

Not that long ago, before polarization set in, you could listen to all sorts of positions expressed on the tube, with an interviewer whose main intent was to get the position revealed, not to attack it.

It really is difficult to get any source of valuable information out of a television interview these days. Often times, the interviewer will interrupt the person before they are even finished speaking. Then it just turns into a match of "Lalalala I CAN'T HEAR YOU" as you listen to them both yell and try to talk over the other.

Personally, I get my news from Fark.com.

First, the correct spelling is faggot. Second, no one in the gay community would ever claim Bill O'Reilly. :roll:

Boy! Ecopal must have been either really, really bored, or really, really incensed at FOX News to start this thread.

I am here because the thread had been rated four stars - oops! my mistake.

My father always told me to never discuss politics or religion unless you are running for office or you are running a church. There are as many opinions out there as there are people and you will surely alienate some, if not most of them, before you're done.

However, those of you that are strong of heart and sound of mind and body, go for it - show us what you're made of.

I disagree--I think he is kinda hot in a rather brusk, Irish American sort of way. Sean Hannity use to be kinda cute, but he turned into a fat pig.
