One can only scratch one's head with the incredulous nature of the Fox News Network that on a day as momentous, after a week as momentous as this, that the O'Rielly Factor's nightly feature is on global terror, completely ignoring today's SCOTUS decision on same sex marriage. Is it any wonder why or how Media Matters found that those who watch Fox News are less informed than those who don't follow the news regularly via any format?

The media manipulates reality, and FOX has been more successful than most at manipulation of their demographics reality.
This week has been so big that ignoring reality may be the best they can do.

I think the only event that was worse were the 2012 elections.

Every time I happen to see some FOX broadcast, I really wonder if I have slipped through a crack in reality. I'd this a recast of 1984?


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Fox News and Fox News Viewers live in their own alternative realty. James and Lachlin are taking over today, July 1st, 2015 and hopefully that ahole Roger Ailes will be out of the door soon. That guy is a swarmy loser. He's an old Nixon flunky like Karl Rove and Dick Cheney.

It will be really funny and full of irony if Lachlan and james "liberate" Fox on July 4th!
