4. Well, this is not Fox News.

It's the Fox entertainment division, which has nothing to do with Rupert's NewsCorp. They are different parts of a big corporation. I suspect one does not influence the other too much. After all, Cosmos is preceded by Family Guy and The Simpsons which I don't think Fox News likes too much (similarly Cosmos).

But yes, Neil deGrasse Tyson has been hitting it out of the park every week.

I love what they are doing with this series. They are taking the idiots on plein jeu, the only way to do it!

on edit: Defn of plein jeu (thank you Gerard Hoffnung):
