Demorats Underground

DU Happy Hour Buzz

P.J. Gladnick (aka P.J.Comix) makes a nice living keeping democratunderground.org under a microscope.  News that FOX NEWS is about to have its best year ever  threw these Hitler Youth into a near frenzy.  Here's some of the best. “ My theory is that the right wingers who give Fox those big numbers watch a lot of TV. On the other hand, progressives don't watch as much TV and spend more time on the Internet instead.  It means the Fox viewers are too dumb to change the channel.  And I don't need to watch them in order to know what they're saying. I only need to log on to DU. Same with Free Republic. I've never once been over to their site, yet I know all about them. Half their watchers are rooting against them and aren't fans. Without the opposition tuning in for their laugh of the day FOX would sink like rock.  They need to turn them off at Hotels. I travel a lot and about every hotel has fox news on in the lobby and in the breakfast area. For some reason there is a policy at hotels that make them all tune to Fox. You can ask for the station to be changes and I have, but it feels like a loosing battle sometimes.  Those f---ing hotels keep this sh-t on their tv screens because liberals and Dems are too busy or too scared to tell them it's sh-t, it's lies and if they want US to come stay in their f---ing hotels they'd turn that crap off! And now for a bit of DU condescension toward the "ordinary" people: I'm always astounded by the big flat screen TV at my dry cleaners. It's always on Fox news. Yet the people who work there are at best semi-literate, working part-time (so the SOB who owns the place can get by with minimum wages and no benefits). And, finally, what sounds like a threat: Fox News's days are numbered. When the Fairness Doctrine is back in force there will be a whole new playing field. You can read a lot more of the reaction to Fox News success by the "reality-based community" at the DUmmie FUnnies. ”
