Conservatives, if you hate liberalism so much, why do you watch Fox News?

Fox News is nothing but a 24 hour parade of everything you hate.

A 24/7 transmission of the activities of liberals, discussion of the bad policies and behaviors of liberals and how much it angers you.

Why are you obsessively viewing something that does nothing but make you angry???

I'm beginning to think that's why MSNBC is losing the ratings war...Liberals have better things to do than obsessively hate anyone...they're out helping people, doing things, rather than just sitting there and getting angry..

I know conservatives that do this...they obsessively watch Fox News all day and just make comments about how they hate this liberal and how they hate that liberal take a break to eat lunch and go right back to it. Unbelievable.

They hate Obama, they hate the Pope, they hate MSNBC but five minutes later they turn on Chris Matthews to hear what he will say so they can repeat how much they "hate that guy."

Then why the hell are you watching???!!! It's nothing but watching, followed by a disapproving comment, watching followed by another disapproving comment. Where do you think you're life is going with this?

I'm tired of hearing nothing but how you hate liberals. We all get it. You're angry at liberals. Don't you have anything better to do with your lives? Do you have anything else to offer the people who unfortunately find you in their lives? Ever think of switching up your personality pattern?

I can only surmise this obsessive compulsive pattern of constantly expressing your disapproval of liberals is a product of brain-washing. No mentally healthy person is that obsessed with with people they dislike.

From a purely social standpoint, it's a total turn off. What a bunch of lame people to hang out with!

I've seen it happen. It's an utterly bizarre phenomenon.
