Anyone else noticed this about Fox News?
The appearance of the broadcast, and broadcasters, is so made-up and glossy that it has, visually, a very cartoonish unreal quality. And that's not even addressing the CONTENT!

Anyone else feel this way?

I work among a bunch of Republicans so I have a hard time escaping at least glimpses of Faux on the TVs in the various break lounges and what not in the places I go...

2. Faux is an entertainment channel, not a news channel
They don't have reporters, they have entertainers pandering to radical right wingers.

7. way back when i first started reading DU
a poster (and I don't remember who) referred to the lady Faux announcers as MUCS, or makeup covered skeletons.

I often think of that whenever I see Faux, and I wish I could tell that poster how much it makes me smile.
