One thing I always find utterly amazing about FOX...
The company that prides itself on being "conservative", and employing hacks like Hannity, is the same company that is responsible for some of the most sleaziest, insipid TV programs ever produced. The hypocrisy of this company never ceases to amaze me. Isn't FOX one of the companies leading the charge against the FCC indecency rules?

1. Yes, and the company leading the FCC's list of indecent broadcasters
It really is amusing, in a sick sort of way.

Fox Entertainment is separate from the cable propaganda outlet
and that's why we've gotten so many years of The Simpsons and why we got "The Wonder Years" and a few other truly wonderful screwball comedies. I even enjoyed "Married with Children" from time to time. I appreciate low humor and the infamous "POOGO" episode was priceless.

Murdoch owns the entertainment company as well as the propaganda outlet. Clearly, political correctness doesn't cloud his judgment when it comes to entertainment and he wisely keeps his paws off that part of the operation.

Oh, except for the Simpsons episode where he did a cameo as "I'm Rupert Murdoch, fascist billionaire!"

3. And don't forget the great F/X network, with Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Shield,
and more of the edgiest drama and comedy on TV.

and yet campaign with figures such as Ahnold and the Rock....Hypocrisy on full display for all to see yet few ever do..
