Just got finished watching Rome, and was flipping through the channels when I saw a cheesey show. The ‘Half Hour News Hour’ on Fox News Channel (FNC). I guess FNC is experimenting with a comedy 1/2 hour news. Of course it only targets librals and neutal topics (or at least the first 5-10minutes of the show). But for the love of me, I could not keep watching. IT WAS SO BAD. LAUGHABLE BAD.
Not only is it bad, it now confuses the audience. Is Fox News Channel a 24hr news channel or has it become a 23 and a half news hour w/ a half hour of attempted comedy?
I guess FNC management never got the memo… stick w/what you know, tilted news. (Fuck, even their saturday morning business Stock Market shows have increased their political chatter, attempting to consitently tie in a political tilt to what will happen in the market. Making for horrible stock recommendations. I can barely watch them anymore.)
The reason why ‘The Daily News’ works is because it makes fun of everyone. They have no loyalty to a political party, they don’t give a fuck. And they do some fucked up, funny shit. The reason why Colbet Report is funny is because he makes fun of Fox and the overly conservative audience. The satire is funny. Oh, one more thing, the two shows are on the COMEDY Central. I repeat Comedy Central, a channel designed for COMEDY, not a 24hr news channel.
IMO, this gives a tremendous validation to the Daily Show and Colbert Report, and their audience.
“Fox News Channel… Or Fox Comedy Channel ?”
Turns out, they do neither! Hey now.
