Just peeked at Fox. They are all ABUZZ about

... Benghazi!!



So much news going on, so many changes in the world this week, I was just a smidgen curious what they would be covering, and how. The SC ruling of the ACA? The SC ruling of equal marriage rights? The lowering of the confederate flag? Mass gun murder in a church? Convict captured and killed? Obama's Eulogy? Amazing Grace? Cure for cancer and the common cold?

No sirree! The focus was (shock and awe) ... Benghazi!!! With the addition of the ugliest photos ever seen of HC.

So I'm wondering now whether the faux noise watchers are even aware that other things have happened in the world this week. Or any other week, for that matter.

I bet they don't even know that lil' Bristol is knocked up again. Cuz ya know, she wants us to "respect the privacy of her family".

So anyway, that was my yearly pilgrimage to fox.

Now for a very stiff drink or four. 🍸🍸🍸🍸 😘

Yesterday, my local (Philadelphia) evening news show had lead stories about various acts of violence, even when they didn't occur in the area, and nothing about a major USSC ruling that will change society. "If it bleeds, it leads" was never so true.

I don't actually watch it, but it is on when I go to take my evening shot of insulin.

The lead story was the NY convict being killed. The second lead was a local murder. The third was the massacre in Tunisia. Maybe they mentioned the USSC decision after that.

6. That's why their viewers remain so ignorant and uninformed.

FOX relies on the ignorance of their viewers who seem to be incapable of critical thinking. It is sad.
I guess they are waiting until they get all their talking points written and distributed to all their pundits.

FOX has done more harm to the US than any terrorists.

I did it purely out of curiosity because of all of the recent changes in the country.

But now I have a rash, and I'm seeing some weird spots out of my right eye.

...

RIGHT eye.
