How Fox News can be more credible
Billo, Hannity, Hume, et al. are all for sending more Americans to die in Iraq. This sound callous, but really, these quys are just patriotic Americans, and we should all be proud that they are wiling to sit in the safety of their studio and call for sending more mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters of American families ... well, some American families ... somebody else's families, to be specific ...

anyway, I have thought of a way to make these patriotic Americans more credible to the families of those the propose to actually send into harm's way.

Plant IEDs in the parking lot, hallways and offices at Fox News. That way, these fair and balanced patriots would have to run the gauntlet every day, not knowing where and when death might rear its ugly head.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not calling for the death's of any of these fine Americans. Far from it, I would hope and pray every day that all of them would remain safe and unharmed (wink, wink). Of course the sacrifices of some of these wonderful journalists may be unavoidable. But that is a small price to pay to let the viewing audience realize that they are fully cognizant of the dangers and that they are willing to face these dangers for credibility.

OK, it really wouldn't make them any more credible ... but it would be fun.

1. Better idea:
If Ann, Billo, Hannity, and all the other Fox creatins (hey look! a word I dont get to use very often!) are so patriotic and love their country so much, why don't we enlist THEM in the army? Get them in the fox holes. That would make Fox News more credible.

2. how about a new Fox series: Survivor Baghdad
Start them in the Green Zone and have the military drive them to random points on the outskirts of the city, with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

Anybody that makes it back - completely on their own - wins $1 million.

5. The only way they could become more credible
would be to go off of the air.

6. Basically take a wrecking ball to the whole operation and start over
They can get rid of all their on-air shills, change their sets. A reconstruction operation is the only way.
