FOX executive walks into a bar....

[TalkingDog]

and tells the truth.

Unfortunately this is not a joke.

1. Randi Rhodes has said she knows people there who absolutely hate what

they're doing, but they need the paycheck.

[TalkingDog]

2. Even if I had children to take care of...I think I'd rather clean port a potties

I'm not sure I could reconcile doing .... that.

[gateley]

4. I feel the same. I couldn't sleep at night and I'd end up despising myself. nt

17. I do clean the bogs on public transport. It's honest work. /nt

5. Time to unionize the whores....

There's a limit to how much debasement any human should be subjected to. Even if they choose to work for Faux.

[gateley]

11. I like that. nt

3. "True believers" is what this is known as

It's not based in fact, it's not even based in faith anymore, it's based in "I WANT to believe!"

K&R.

6. Reddit's now saying Vish is a professional scammer and this didn't happen.

Oh well.

[TalkingDog]

12. Reddit can read minds too? How about you? You are 100% certain this didn't happen?

Not saying it did or did not happen. I can't know that.

The man says it happened. Him saying it did not make me want to know more about him or what he does. So if his purpose was to increase his business, he has failed (obviously on several fronts).


People on this site will often relay apocryphal stories that "happened to them". If it has a ring of truth, I accept that they have touched upon a core truth without judging whether they are promoting themselves in businesses I have no interest in.



I accept that people will say things other people want to hear, just like I accept that they believe things as "true" because they want to. The difference between this guy, people on DU and FOX? Individual people who tell tall tales are not a News Corporation that has pretensions of neutrality.

8. My partner's cousin works at the local FOX station

I can confirm this - she says that's pretty much the attitude there.

9. If there are any lawyers out there, is there a way I can sue Fox News for alienating

me from my sister? Maybe a lawyer that needs publicity and would do it for very little money? The devastation of the economy by the party they are the propaganda machine for has devastated my wallet. I would seriously consider a lawsuit. Their lies are easy to disprove and my sister's family swear by FOX. I remember when the network first started. She asked me if I had seen it. She said the other liberal media channels and Dan Rather in particular were just not truthful.

10. This should be at the very top of the GP. Really.

13. Satirist Lee Camp got Fox the best way a couple of years ago

Right on the air live when they couldn't cut away:

16. "video unavailable"

got another link?

Thx.

[One of Many]

14. Might be a scam ...

All, a quick look at the reddit posting for this image shows it was posted by the guy from his own screenshot. Look at some of the links posted in the comments here, guy does not seem to be the most reliable source.

YMMV

15. And neither are you.

And neither am I. ONE individual with an agenda is not a huge media conglomerate with an agenda AND political power.

If he's some kind of "guru", I've never heard of him or any of the lies he may or may not have told.

I can't say the same for FOX. Can you?

delete the author's last name from the Friday 7:47 "Heather" post. ;)
