Fox's fans don't see it that way


and the network does not present them as commentators / entertainers. people believe the garbage they get on Fox is news- when almost none of it is. I had the pleasure of watching that news network for an hour or so at the barber shop a few weeks ago and this is what I saw:

(1) a wonderful piece on that democratic operative that assaulted someone
(2) a segment on the lottery (not terrible)
(3) a campaign piece for Blackburn
(4) a campaign piece for Dean Heller

Do you really think the average Fox News viewer watches the same hour I do and feels like they saw one news piece (that oh-so-important lottery segment) and 45 minutes of political commentary? of course not- they think they're getting news! It is the most dangerous institution in this country right now, IMHO.
