In the panic leading up to the latest sham profit war, I watched (and recorded) hundreds of hours of their staff laughing at people who said that Iraq did not have huge stockpiles of WMD’s and was not involved in the 9/11 attacks. So many times I saw them make fun of people who said that maybe that banner was wrong, and perhaps the mission was not really “accomplished”. Recollections of their 2000 trumpeting of the “return of integrity” to the White House now ring as side-splittingly hilarious.

If that’s how they handle the most pressing issues of our time (and, after being proven WRONG again and again, they simply apply more spin), how on Earth can anyone expect an evenhanded treatment of BF from these blatant hacks? I mean, come on now!

This was taken all as a big joke - a time filler to keep things rolling between orgies of saturation coverage of things insignificant. Their gyrations while striving to avoid substantially discussing anything of substance are beyond obvious to anybody with two brain cells, and the plastic talking heads that spew out the daily drivel are among the most ignorant adults I’ve ever seen. They rarely go even a few minutes without exposing their painful lack of knowledge. Among the many examples, I especially enjoy their referring to NASA as Nassau, or the obligatory reference to Africa (which has no tigers) whenever there is a story with a tiger.

It’s been proven again and again that Fox News viewers are the bottom of the heap, much less likely to answer questions about news issues correctly. That’s not an accident, but rather a paradigm that’s been painstakingly constructed by a team of marketers that excels at tweaking our most simple-minded knuckle-draggers. In that respect, they’ve done a damn fine job. A nice cold beer/poolside chat with a devoted Fox News viewer reliable reveals a person who knows nothing outside of their job, hobbies, and sports and, often, outright hostility toward those who use their intellect.

When people whose outdoor experience peaked on a golf course overwhelmingly believe in angels, yet declare BF an impossibility amid sophomoric chuckles, you know you’re not dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Moneymaker did a decent job in dealing with those idiots, but the quality of an interview depends mostly on the interviewer, not the guest. When they waste their time suggesting that armchair researchers are waiting for the BF to come to their homes, it’s illustrative of the tactics Fox ALWAYS uses when dealing with any guest who strays from the narrow view of the god, country, and family crowd. And, as already noted, they keep suffering the indignity of being proven wrong over and over again, but, thanks to the short memories of their fans, it really doesn’t matter.

You wanted examples of public ridicule. This case exemplifies it.

So sad.

It’s hard for me to truly understand just what was so funny.

Cable news is vulnerable to fluff and they thought they had the leader of the whacko bigfoot brigade sitting in his closet wearing a tinfoil hat and typing away on his four page quarterly newsletter.

This is certainly typical of most cable news media and it’s one of the ongoing traits that make us seem so silly and superficial to the rest of the world.

People are just sick of Paris Hilton and want something else to laugh about.

Bigfoot will have his day…

*sigh*
