    I thought this was pretty cute. And the 2 empty chairs joke made me laugh.

    The only problem I had was that he kept referring to Fox News and showing Fox and Friends clips.

    It was a fun piece, though.

    Isn't that what he's all about?

    In other news, the Denver Broncos played football.

    Ignore the rest of the link and watch the video. It is a fun little thing JS did at the DNC. Sure, he's biased as hell, but he's a comedian. This clip shows he's willing to have fun at the Dem's expense as well.

    Fair point. He did make it sound like he was discussing their news show, however. And a few of his clips were the news show.

    The channel is called Fox News. They specifically dress up their opinion shows to look like news shows. There is nothing other than an arbitrary designation to differentiate one from the other. Most viewers don't know the difference. This is intentional. And the difference is actually entirely arbitrary. Ever since 2003, Fox has legally been allowed to lie on their news shows just as much as they do on their opinion shows. So really it's all opinion shows pretending to be news shows.
    The word "militant" is applied to religious people when they bomb buildings full of innocent people and to atheists when they speak with a non-deferential tone.

    Listen.. the channel is called Fox NEWS.. hence anything on the channel is news. Hiding behind the "it is an opinion show" is utter bull****... Fox News is a NEWS channel by name, but only what.. 10 minutes a day is actual news according to its defenders?

    Maybe it is time for the right to admit what the channel really is...a propaganda channel... that or change the name to Fox Opinion Channel.
