Faux News Banner just now re: Boston

I'm at the Gym watching the Patriots Game and unfortunately next to my TV is the Faux News TV. I glanced over and the discussion (although silent to me) has a banner at the bottom :

27 arrested in Boston at demostration between Conservative Activists and Counter-Protesters

WTF. That fucking channel is truly f'ed up. Conservative Activists!!!???

Next up was "Destroying America's History"

Again, WTF.

Sorry for the disruption, I just had to tell someone......

One fourth of Murdoch total.

So James will make token gestures but change nothing.

Arrests attributed to neither group but to outsiders whose political views are unknown at the moment

So if this were Germany in the 1930s fox would call the gestapo conservative activists.

Today our guest on fox and friends is the charming chancellor of our homeland Adolf Hitler. He has brought along a copy of his book me in kampf. It is a must read. Mr Hitler is peace loving and wants to build a united Germany a bloom with love and peace. He has assured us that Germany Jewish citizens are jncluded. Welcome her hitler.

I go to a local watering hole on a pretty regular basis. There's a group of guys who sit around watching Fox News and talking like they know what the hell is going on. One of them has apparently defected. He shared with me that he just can't talk to them anymore and asked me what I thought was wrong with them. I told him, Fox News, and he laughed.
