Did you know?
Faux news is fair and balanced? I mean they say every minute of the newscast and on every commercial break. I guess you would beleive it if you drank the Kool-Aid.

Co-worker likes to watch them, and I hear that all day long "Faux News is Fair and Balanced." kind of makes you want to go screaming into the night with jockey shorts on your head.

2. Yep, I knew.
My mother-in-law, an otherwise intelligent, educated person, likes to repeat the Faux mantra. "They are the only fair and balanced news network." She is convinced the rest of the media is blatantly and obviously liberal-biased. She absolutely cannot see the Faux bias.

5. They are fair and balanced
They give both sides, the right-wing side, and the whack-job right-wing side.

11. Congratulations on your promotion!
I'm doing well, thanks. Lots to be thankful for (and I don't take it for granted). Gardening season is coming up here on the west coast. I'm looking forward to that. :D
