TV Meme: Day 5

[hsapiens]

Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled: Firefly
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching: In Plain Sight
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season): {White Collar & The Vampire Diaries are pretty but shallow; Royal Pains is shallow but pretty}
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever: Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Queer as Folk, and Farscape. Supernatural makes the cut on a technicality (ignoring serious gender issues) for its prescience in employing Misha Collins.
Day 05 - A show you hate:

I was stumped on this because I reserve hate for sins like hypocrisy and intolerance; television doesn't inspire emotion of that sort in me. Can I choose any FOX "news" program? Yes, I think I can and I shall. They embody the hypocrisy and intolerance that DOES inspire my rage.

Ugh, this. ~waves hands~

You don't have to specify because every show on that network is the same. Just varying degrees of insanity and hair-pulling. I love watching The Daily Show to see them called on their BS. Like for instance, after Obama's press conference, they mocked him because his "prayer" comment seemed "a little tacked-on and disingenuous from a President who doesn't always attend church." Whereas on Monday, they mocked him because "he didn't go to church to pray for a little divine intervention" in the oil spill disaster.

Jon suggested that, if Obama HAD gone to church, the Fox News top story would have been "Obama Cannibal? Devours body of Christ during religious service."

What honest-to-goodness terrifies me is the number of people I know personally (many by blood) who think Fox News is the only unbiased news out there. Oh, family, how do we share the same genes?

Also, I love your icon.

Mostly I just wanted an excuse to use this icon.

One of my bestest friends for more than a decade watches Fox News pretty much exclusively, and it boggles my brain. In every other respect she is a competent, sane human capable of rational and independent thought, and then out of the blue I'll think, "But... Glenn Beck? Really???"

She and I have promised each other not to speak of such things, for the sake of our friendship. :)

And yet another thing we have in common! I LOATHE Fox News, loathe it. My father watches Glenn Beck every night, and then makes me listen to Fox news while we eat dinner. I can't stand it! Does anyone else remember a time when the news was supposed to be impartial? And balanced? Anyone?
