The lack of Diversity on FAUX news....
Where my wife works it is basically required that all tvs when on be tuned to FAUX News (Now granted some sections do always follow this strict rule. They have been know to put on Sports games and even a movie when possible.


But one thing that my wife notices is that The talking heads on that channel are all (lack of a better term but to bring the point home) White Bread Beaver Cleaver cut outs.


She also noticed that some of the co-workers who manage to use the FAUX talking points are in fact women 35-55 single women. Many have children... One is a Latina and another is a woman who is dating a African American...yet she is convince Obama is a Muslim.

What amazes my wife so much is that these people watching FAUX news either do not realize the lack of "un-cleaver" like faces and if they really listen to these talking heads they change the laws that would hurt them even more than "Liberal-idiots".


Has anyone ever done a survey to see how diverse the talking heads our and put the numbers up?

For that matter how many are Jewish or Pagan or an atheists?

3. Not Diverse, but plenty perversity over there I'm sure.
It just has not fully bloomed into its full glory or maybe scandal yet.

4. Your wife deserves a medal
If I had to listen to Faux all day, I would hurt myself ... but I'd probably hurt the TV first.

6. There's lots of diversity at Faux Snooze.




Some of the Faux news babes have long blonde hair, some have short blonde hair.
Some have light blonde hair, some have dark blonde. See? Lots of diversity.

7. Pretty Damn Sure There Are No Atheists and *Gasp* Pagans
on Faux News! If there are, they had better keep it a secret; because they won't be fired, they'd be lynched...by the viewers!
