Faux news and the ham sandwich hate crime

Fox news reports a parody story as real news.

To be fair though, Fox wouldn't report real news anyway (unless the GOP wanted them to).

I'm not a violent guy, but if I were allowed to choose one person to freely and legally beat to death, it would be Bill O'Reilly. There isn't even a second place for this one. Not because I disagree with what he thinks (which I do, often), but because he doesn't tolerate disagreement and he gets off sexually on his own opinion. The massive lack of humility he displays deserves to be beaten. Its beyond hubris; its a self-empowered and dedicated stupidity.

I say this not because he has any sort of involvement with the story above, but because he is symptomatic of Fox. This story is the product of not exercising editorial restraint. Its fine if people want to go to a channel where they're told what to think of current events without the complicated and difficult task of critical thinking, just please stop calling it news. It isn't news and there isn't even the slightest whiff of journalistic integrity coming from anywhere near that organization.

Actually, I think she's already being punished by way of the fact that some misguided soul made her think she was attractive. Seriously, look at that adam's apple. Total transvestite.

You're right. I don't mean to demean transvestites.

I'm thinking cage match... O'Rilly vs Limbaugh. Two men enter, one man leaves.

Chain saws will be provided to each contestant.

Hell... that would be a pay per view event.... and I'd pay. With luck, they'd mortally would each other.
