Hannity and Fox News have jumped the shark...

I'm doing a public service by watching the fools on Fox and reporting back.

They're REALLY excited that tomorrow/Friday A SMOKING GUN will reveal the BIGGEST SCANDAL SINCE WATERGATE. (Presumably timed for the instant the health care plan goes down in flames.)

if you flip between CNN and FOX and MSNBC... everyone's breathlessly claiming the biggest thing since Watergate is coming or already here. CNN and MSNBC are stepping cautiously towards tRump's impeachment, but the brainiacs on Fox are saying the only issue here is Obama's wrong-doing. (No mention of Russia at all.)

Fox's smoking gun/scandal of the century = hysteria that Obama used intelligence gathered incidentally on Trump and spread it to SOMEBODY* he shouldn't have. (* Gotta imagine this somebody must be Hillary Clinton because the mention of Obama + Hillary is guaranteed to drive their army of ignorant snowflakes into blind obedience to the Bannon Canon.) Supposedly all will be revealed Friday... don't hold your breath.

This might be amusing if these lying morons weren't so evil. {Sorry, it's late.}

I have never watched Fox (on purpose)...if it was on, I'd watch maybe 5 minutes before walking away.
What I did see, reminded me of those horrible brain-dead infomercials that pop up on tv.
I have a feeling that those infomercials were part of the inspiration behind Fox News.

Better you than me. I can't watch Hannity/Fox for more than about 30 seconds. Keep up the good work -- it'll be interesting to see them in their tin foil hats tomorrow.

You are right about the evil. We need to be vigilant -- mankind's future may well depend on it.

That's probably how their "thinking" goes.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.

I'd having to be halfway stoned just to take 10 mins of them, so thanks for the public service. Told my dh last evening that that's what they'd be saying.

If I was frying on a hit o' 1969 microdot I got from a deadhead, and instead of their faces on Faux, a laser light show was beaming from the teevee, and Dark Side of the Moon was blaring as the background music ...

If I could still hear the Fauxbots talking, even in the distance like one of the crazy mumblings during 'Brain Damage/Eclipse'? I'd still probably throw my beer bottle through the teevee screen there.

Those people are a BAD trip, no matter HOW high you are is all I'm saying. Even in the BEST of circumstances.

I listen to AM radio every now and then on the drive home from work and caught a few of them. One DJ in particular was talking so loud, he was basically yelling. I had to switch to another one. I think it was that Levin guy.

...since Watergate.

Lots of biggest scandals since Watergate for these guys, all while a scandal that might very well blast Watergate out of the sky is brewing on the horizon. But they won't like that one.
