I'm sorry, that was probably rude of me. Let me rephrase that....
Here is an example of Fox News' absurdly low quality of journalism. So much so, in fact, that no rational human being can attribute it to the accident of incompetence. This situation speaks directly to the form and mode of the network's product and delivery.
Fox News is very much like those fraudulent posers who enjoy a little coffee with their gallon of creamer and two pounds of sugar. At about 10%-15% of actual news content, they're not really a news outlet, regardless of what they call themselves, and regardless of what mode they utilize to deliver their product. The Colbert Show was fashioned like a news broadcast, but it wasn't news. And neither is Fox News actually news. They are, in fact, the single greatest source in modern American broadcasting of mindless drivel entertainment. And in this capacity, they are worse than such examples as Keeping up with the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, or what have you. At least those shows present as nothing more than mindless drivel entertainment. But Fox News presents itself as news. And it feeds on people falling for the mistaken impression that they are news. Even the WWE has long abandoned its false image of portending to be a real sport; they embraced the "entertainment" moniker many years ago.
Case in point: How could a real, true, legitimate news outlet so utterly fail to background check someone who alleged to be a long term CIA operative? Of course, those of you who are obsessed with Fox [Mulder, I want to believe] News will never acknowledge how much this highlight's their deceptive day to day existence. You've long lost the ability to differentiate what you want to be true and what is true. But either way, the sickness is upon you. You stain and sully everything you touch. You've help to ruin the once good name of the Grand Ole Party and the Republican brand. You have lusted after the likes of Donald Trump, and have wandered so astray you now see madness as wisdom, and wisdom as madness. For all of you who fit into this category, this is on you.
