1. evil. however, watching it will make a person stupid.

[Warpy]

2. Evil. They manipulate the stupid.

[EFerrari]

34. Yep. n/t

[Demeter]

3. Why Does It Have to Be One or the Other?

They are big enough to do both at the same time.

[lame54]

4. the video explains

[old mark]

5. EVIL, no question - the regular audience is stupid...I see from time to time

that Glen Beck was a smart kid in school, etc - they KNOW what they are doing, and what they are costing the country and don't care as long as THEY get rich. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch ans some Saudi group, who have no interest in the well being of the USA and would laugh to see it destroy itself.

6. Is anybody going to actually watch the video before answering?

[seabeyond]

7. i saw it last night. the whole segment was good. nt

[spinbaby]

8. It was one of the best things Jon has done.

I was rolling on the floor.

[Zoeisright]

9. Both. Staggeringly evil and deliberately stupid.

[LaydeeBug]

17. + 11's. nt

[Uncle Joe]

37. + 22's. n/t

[11 Bravo]

10. The two are not mutually exclusive. Sean Hannity is an evil little shitstain who ...

also happens to be dumber than a bag of hair.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Neither-- it's just profitable.

[glitch]

23. Both -- because it's profitable. nt

[lame54]

39. So is dealing crack

[deutsey]

12. Sigh...why does it take a "comedy" show to expose this link?

And why aren't we hearing more about it from the so-called "real journalists"?

Probably same reason we hear nothing about Imam Rauf's Sufism.

Can't confuse people with facts.

[madokie]

13. HOw about both

[MaeScott]

14. Evil. Very evil. Shills for Beezlebub. nt

[CatWoman]

15. K&R

:rofl:

[The_Commonist]

16. Doocy and Kilmeade are stupid...

That's why Murdoch and Ailes, who are evil, hired them.

[femrap]

EVIL.

and so is Murdoch.

[tavalon]

18. Evil and they prey on the stupid.

[jberryhill]

19. Simpler - Murdoch wants that 7% back

Alwaleed bin Talal has got to be the dumbest sumbitch on the planet. He buys a stake in Fox and they start trashing him non-stop.

[dem mba]

20. I've seen the same stupid vs evil debate over Bush/Cheney

over the years on this very forum, haha.

[lunatica]

21. They multi-task. Both and at the same time

[unblock]

22. stupid LIKE A FOX

:rofl:

[Prophet 451]

24. Evil

Funding the not-a-mosque that's nowhere-near-Ground-Zero allows them to boost their ratings. It's like funding the Communist party so they can endorse Democrats.

[bemildred]

25. Stupid and evil are closely related to each other. nt

[fascisthunter]

26. BOTH

[AnArmyVeteran]

27. EVIL HATEMONGERS

[Enthusiast]

28. EVIL STUPID HATEMONGERS

There, fixed that fer ya. :fistbump:

[AnArmyVeteran]

38. Evil, Stupid & Ignorant Hatemongers. (there, even more 'fixed')

[tsuki]

29. I wanna T-Shirt!!! nt

[stranger81]

30. False dichotomy. [n/t]

[Edweird]

31. 'Evil' and 'stupid' are not mutually exclusive.

[SoCalDem]

32. Evil is more "interesting" than "not-evil", so of course, they are evil

They know all the buttons to push, to make the ignorant racists of America react to their "reporting".

Evil-for-profit is the worst, because they exacerbate the problem and then play coy as they pretend they don't know why it's happening..

[FightingBobsghost]

33. There is a 3rd option:

Batshit crazy

or stupid, evil and batshit crazy.

[lame54]

36. Not according to John & Wyatt

[icnorth]

35. Yes and yes. n/t

[Count Olaf]

40. I have that same question of most of Congress

nt

[frogmarch]

41. achingly, inspiringly stupid! nt

[Hermes Daughter]

42. Evil is the repetition of harm.

Evil requires repetition. They are evil and know exactly what
they're doing.  Unfortunately, they are not stupid.
