Fox News
anyone have transcripts from the other day?

Here's the story.

I was watching, and they did this bit about how some different news organizations had been accidentally getting their news from The Onion, which they claimed was not a real news source. They first cited when the time when that Chinese newspaper reported that congress was holding out for a retractable dome (one of the funniest stories ever told), and then mentioned how recently MSNBC picked up the story about how half of all exercise in the US is now being performed on infomercials. Not great, but all right.

It was either the next story or a minute or so later that they reported about how Donald Rumsfeld was looking forward to Secretary's day. A quote from Rumsfeld the anchor read went something like I know it's just a silly Hallmark holiday. Even so, I have to admit that seeing that bouquet of flowers on my desk... Well, it makes me feel real good." And they went on to say that he didn't expect any special treatment.

It just caught me a few minutes ago.

yeah.

Was that intentional, or the funniest screwup ever? April Fools was weeks ago.

Re: Fox News
fox should do an investigation into where it gets its news from, because it sure isnt' the real world.

CNN will invariably have Larry King talking to the girl who survived for ten days stuck in her car on on raman noodles and gatorade,

CNN headline looks like cable access,

MSNBC has hardball and that's it. Good god, Dennis Miller got a news gig there.

I don't think enough people have considered the possibility that FNC has been getting decent ratings not because their hugely biased and angry opinion-based news draws in the easily confused but because everything else is simply genuinely shittier.

Have you tried PBS (Newshour)? I don't watch it mostly because it's on at a bad time for me.

Once you accept the proposition that you have to watch something then you've basically lowered your standards to the point where you've buried them.
