Fox News - yOUR Network

Here's our pledge to you: if you watch our station, we will tell you what to think. We promise to cover every news story, and tell you why you (we) are always right about the issues. We will include as many neoconservatives as possible on our panels and try to use only the weakest liberal voices we can find. This way our (your) worldview will always stand out as the right one.

We Report.
You (we) Decide.

We will "balance" our panels by placing men like Alan Combes next to men like Sean Hannity. Sure, Alan's not "good-looking" or "outspoken," but he has that special quality we're (you're) looking for when we (you) look at liberal reporters: he's meek. We'll also hire guys like Brit Hume to be anchors. Sure, he's lifeless and appears to have been brainwashed, but he sort of appears neutral sometimes.

We will pay Bill O'Reilly $20,000,000, because he has the biggest ego of anyone we could find. A less self-important man wouldn't have the nerve to say what we need him to say. He will promote the "patriotic" agenda that we (you) secretly crave. He'll pretend that the rest of the media doesn't do this enough already. He will fling mud at anyone, even entire countries, if so much as one statement rubs him the wrong way, and he will make sweeping generalizations that fit right in with our (your) oversimplified, patriotic, racist, sexist, and xenophobic worldview.

We (you) have no problem with Bill. It doesn't bother us (you) that he interrupts regularly, because listening isn't really something we require from an interviewer. It does not bother us (you) that he mutes the microphones of people who disagree with his (your) narrow and racist worldviews. So what if he's a sexist asshole? So are you (we), and you (you) like to be told the way it is.

We also promise that we will offer the best production value and graphical content, hands down, because it's so imperative in reporting the news. It is not at all distracting to see a scrolling marquee, a waving flag, a fear-inducing caption about the issue being reported in the shot above, and frequently rotating stock tickers all at the same time. Sure, it takes up a ton of the screen and most of it is unnecessary, but it will remind you of how much is going on, how busy you are, and how much you need us to tell you that your (our) small-minded worldview is the right one.

We promise to inform you of the many nuances of how right we are, so you can tell your neighbors just how we (you) back it up. When a person questions us, we will show what a filthy America-hating snake that person really is. We'll make you feel good to be an American, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. We won't just give you "America good, others bad."  We promise to express the truth of every issue as we (you) see it.

And to summarize the truth about everything:
Bush? Patriotic American. Clinton? Filthy philanderer. Global warming? Junk science. Evolution? Evil atheism. The media? Too liberal. Chinese slave labor? Ultimately worth it. Taxes? Supply-side. Black people? Their fault. White people? Our base. Christians? The best. Jews? Good, just missing Jesus. Muslims? The terrorists. You? Our faithful viewer who never disagrees.

 

There is nothing fair and/or balanced about the Fox News network. This statement that they incessantly repeat is a blatant lie.
