Fox News Sucks

"Fox News Sucks" - It's Not Just For Liberals Anymore by Scout Finch

If you want a 'conservative' viewpoint on the news everybody knows Fox News is the place to go and if you prefer a more liberal news room you can watch MSNBC and CNN (dubbed PMSnbc and the Communist News Network by political pundit Michael Savage). Naturally, liberal thinkers don't tend to fancy Fox News and favor alternate news sources. In his post today, Scout Finch brought to the attention of his readers that apparently conservatives now hate Fox News as much as liberals do. Recently Fox News denied Ron Paul the opportunity to appear in their candidate forum, and because of this the conservative supporters of Ron Paul were very upset. Outside some political rally there was a mob of people waving Ron Paul signs and repeatedly chanting "Fox News Sucks!" Right after their little parade started who shows up but none other than Republican cheerleader Sean Hannity. The mob chases down Mr. Hannity continuing their chant and sometimes one witty member of the rowdy throng yells "Sean, you suck!" If you click on the link at the top of the article, you can watch the video of the protesters, which I encourage you to do so.

To say the least these conservatives were acting in a very immature and pathetic manner. Finch (the blogger) thinks the whole situation is quite humorous. He certainly is not a fan of Mr. Hannity's radio show and thinks that it's funny that Hannity must deal with a group of conservatives that do not like him or the Fox News program. I would argue that most people who liked and regularly viewed Fox News before Fox refused Ron Paul the same treatment as the other Republican nominees will continue to like and watch Fox News after what happened. The only people who are upset about this are those who wish to vote for Ron Paul and among those people, an even smaller group who watch Fox News. The people shown in the video certainly showed their level of astuteness in their choice of words and actions.
