In an attempt to stay as classy as ever, Fox News decided to throw up (pun intended) an opinion piece about what you should be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The title of the article is really all that matters, but, yes, the rest of the article is just as disturbing.
Truthfully, I didn’t previously think that the level of disgust I have for Fox News could possibly increase. Today it did.
As you may be aware (or not, if you only watch Fox News), Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held a joint “Rally To Restore Sanity / Rally To Keep Fear Alive” on the mall in Washington DC yesterday. It was a huge outpouring of support from Americans who aren’t completely irrational, brainwashed by the extreme right media, and ignorantly voting with a mob mentality.
Here are some of the best signs seen at the rally:
The following graphic, presented on the air by Fox “News” recently shows the split amongst the GOP when it comes to support for three potential 2012 presidential candidate. Keep in mind, that their source is the ever-reliable nationally accredited polling organization known as “Opinion”. Coming in at a mind-numbing 70% support is, of course, Sarah Palin, followed by by Mike Huckabee with 63% of the pie chart and Mitt Romney with a mere 60%. This, of course, perfectly adds up to a complete 193% of the pie. Wait, WHAT?
In the clip you’re about to watch, Glenn Beck finally admits something that we all already knew about him: He’s a dirtbag and a liar. Sadly, for some reason he felt the need to refer to himself as a dirtbag in the past tense, but it’s still funny. Here’s the clip.
Glenn Beck has been in the news a lot lately. At first it was just his outrageous hate-mongering comments that were getting him there and, sadly, those same comments were getting him equally outrageous ratings. As of late, though, he seems to be pissing off the wrong people. Advertiser after advertiser have been dropping him faster than a lead balloon. His listeners are probably just brushing this off to a few liberal companies ditching a controversial TV and radio host, but the list begs to differ. In case you’re keeping count, here’s who’s bailed so far:
- Allergan
- Ally Bank (Part of GMAC)
- Best Buy
- Broadview Security
- ConAgra
- CVS Pharmacies
- GEICO
- Lawyers.com
- Men’s Wearhouse
- Procter & Gamble
- Progressive Insurance
- RadioShack
- Re-Bath
- Roche
- SC Johnson
- Sanofi-Aventis
- Sargento
- State Farm Insurance
- Wal-Mart
Seems to me like that’s a pretty long list with a wide variety of industries, all of whom dropped him within the last week or so. Now, he may have followers who hang on his every words and love his hateful rhetoric, but I’m pretty sure his employers care more about making money than they do paying a nut job to spew hate. Last time I checked, ratings don’t mean a thing if you can’t fill in the time when he actually shuts his mouth with commercials. If his biggest advertisers are pulling out at the rate they have been, when does he just get fired because he harms the network more than he helps it? For the sake of the country, I hope he gets the axe sooner rather than later.
