I will mock you. I will think it's hysterical that an adult watches (and believes) what is basically story time. I think that people are drawn to those who are like themselves so naturally I will now think you're just like those ridiculous anchors...

...on the other hand, I love Jon Stewart and I love watching him nail their balls to the wall.

If you watch Fox news, don't tell me.

If I fancied a laugh I used to watch Glenn Beck when he was on.

I didn't buy his books for “reference” like dick. I'd rather read a dictionary written by maggotyboo for reference.

One of the first things I saw this morning was that Jon Stewart piece, I was still more asleep than awake and I wondered who watches Fox for real news and how could they possibly be taken seriously as a news organization.

Dick was avidly glued to it which explains a lot! There will be people here who watch it mark my words. Whether or not they have the guts to put their head over the parapet and admit it here is another thing of course.

The tagline on Fox “fair and balanced” is fucking hilarious! Its surprising really because Fox news is so conservative but Fox entertainment is anything but, shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy are made and created by some of the most liberal people in entertainment. Like Seth McFarlane, an liberal Atheist and supporter of gay rights, yet his show Family Guy is probably the most politically incorrect show on American tv.

I occasionally flick onto that channel, but I can't stay there long, they don't seem to really know what they are talking about, more a rant that is based on their own strong personal bias. It's uncomfortable viewing. Jon Stewart is funny. I liked his take.

Now a teacher has told a (black) student that Santa is white.

Story

I only watch when there is something like a school shooting, and I am trying to figure out what is going on.

But I don't really place great merit on it.

It's okay if people watch Fox. I don't really care. I was feeling snarky after listening to Jon Stewart and this thread was born. I don't respect Fox as a news source but I know many people do, to each their own.

But every report on fox news about a school shooting is essentially the same.

Guns don't kill people black rappers and violent video games do.

Repeat forever ad infinitum amen.

Poor Megyn Kelly.



Jay-Z insists, "Santa Claus ain't black". So, who's a sister to believe?

I'm waiting for a clean-cut Korean vegan transgender female atheist Santa Claus to appear on the scene. Heck, if I wasn't allergic to department stores and malls, I'd probably bump into one here.

I think that Fox News need to understand that Santa isn't real. If you want to make him black, do it.

I am a little annoyed that there is no Chinese Santa. Why?

She's defending herself now by saying she was a victim of race-baiting. Hahaha.

At least your Wiggles are multi-cultural.

Santa is an old, fat white guy with a beard. That's just the way it is. You can't make him black anymore than you can Elvis, doesn't mean black and Chinese people can't impersonate them though.

I'm with you Sally.

Santa has always been white.

I don't know why this is such a big deal.

Ever since Coca Cola made him that way back in the 1930's anyway. He wasn't always portrayed as a jolly fat man in a red (Coca Cola red, funny that!) suit with a long white beard up until then.

Most logical people know that about Santa, you'd think someone who bills herself as a legitimate news person would be above arguing that, she choose to argue that Jesus was white but is now backtracking. She is a joke as a journalist.

Pretty sure Santa's origin is Germany.

They're mostly white over there (with an occasional gypsy thrown in for good measure).

Fox is the Tea Party network.

I've never been a fan.

I like Brian Williams.

I feel like he wouldn't lie to me and he'd stand behind what he said.

The origin of Santa Claus, is actually Dutch. It was Sintaklass or something like that. Western civilisation made it Santa Claus. Coca Cola commercialised it and made it all coke red.
