Does it seem odd that the same company that owns FX

[Fountain79]

which makes shows like 30 Days is the same company that owns Fox News? Just a thought...

1. Well, yeah, and they own the Simpsons too. But they're still no less evil

I wish all the Simpsons seasons would just hurry up & come out on DVD so I never even have to tune my TV to Fox again.

That, or an all-Simpsons 24/7 network would work.

2. NewsCorp makes those shows in one division

so another division (Faux News Channel) can complain about them. It is having your cake and eating it too all the way to the bank.

4. It's true...

Murdoch even backs Hillary in 08. No joke, he said she did more to help Fox News with her legeslation then McCain did.

I just blew your mind.

7. No you didn't.

Hang around a while, and you'll see that not only is that a pretty well known fact, Hillary isn't a terribly popular choice for '08 in these parts.

Welcome to DU.

5. Murdoch's holdings include some really sleazy stuff

Butts and bums tabloids and the like is what he built his empire on.

And iof yoiu watch Fox News closely, they're never averse to reshowing things like salacious clips over and over, while their commentators are busy criticizing them. That's having your cake and eating it too. Complain about sleaze while you allow the viewer to oogle.

6. Not to mention "Rescue Me" and "Nip/Tuck". NT
