They came back; I was starting to think that they never would. Corruption, crime, and cronyism were so prevalent in the ranks of what was formerly the prevailing party to such an extent that I was sure I would never get my Fox News back. For those of you that know me as a progressive agnostic liberal, you might think that me wanting Fox News is an internal contradiction. Stay with me, you will be glad your Fox News came back as well.
Most of us are barely old enough to remember the real Fox News, if at all. The Fox News we know now is not at all like the real one. You see Fox News was originally meant to be the "blind hatred of Clinton" station. Its only purpose was to perpetuate a Klan level detest of Clinton; coincidentally ironic that he was our "first" black president. Now that there is actually a black president, who is intelligent and progressive, and the most popular in history, look for the fireworks to come loaded with idiocy and hate-commenced code language.
During the last few Clinton years, Fox News was a snarling junk-yard dog whose only ambition was to rally Clinton haters in the type of way that a roaring economy, strong international peace, and record national unity inherent to Clinton's administration could not instill in those God-Guns-&-Gays Supernaturalists. We understood that they had a hard time. After all they did think that trickle-down economics would work. Who would have thought anything else than if we gave all the rich, greedy people all the money they would naturally want to give it back to the rest of us? Why didn't that work?
All of this changed when the Supreme Court and Katherine Harris appointed George W. Bush to occupy commandeered federal land on Pennsylvania Ave. in a black neighborhood near Virginia. Fox News no longer was the snarling hate driven propaganda factory it was created for; overnight it became this disgusting lap-dog; licking Republicans' collective face and eroding journalism in a brand new way.
But with the return of the Democratic party to power, I finally get my Fox News back. Look at the lineup, this was not a channel that was meant to be kind or objective in the least. Sean Hannity is disgusting when he is nice, his calling in life is to spew pointless talking points and then then snoodily point his nose up to the sky and refuse to listen to reason for a second. What the quintessential little right-wing cheerleader he is. He was doubled only by Tony Snow. However Tony completely missed the changeover back to hateful, God Complex level information control when he left to work for the other Fox News (White House Press Office).
My personal favorite of course is Bill O'Reilly. This is the proof of the network's intentions. You don't hire a raving lunatic like Bill O'Reilly unless you are trying to rally political troops that need only rhetorical ravings from a 3 meter tall mendicant. However, the only thing that matters is that they came back.
Don't spoil my Christmas; I'm just happy to have all my old friends back. News is fun again.
