Fox News ads show the double-standards of its right wing viewers |

Have you ever noticed the disconnect between the message and political worldview that Faux News pumps out 24/7, and the type of advertisers the network attracts? Especially in the daytime?
While Fox anchors, pundits and GOP politicians are railing about the budget-busting socialist liberal government, the ads show viewers how they can exploit this system.
....Just saying. The advertisers go where their customers are. And judging by the ads,m the typical Faux viewer is sitting on the couch saying "Damn these Liburals and Socialists and Democrats! Them Welfare Cheats is ruinin' the country!" .....while those same viewers are looking for ways to milk the same things they gripe about and maybe Get Rich Quick.
NEWS "Yes we must stop this Socialistic health care system. Obamacare and Medicare are going to send the entire country to the poorhouse if we don't curb these entitlements. Everyone has to pay their own way in a free-market system!"
AD "Now you can get your own scooter-chair. AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR YOU BECAUSE WE'LL GET THE GOVERNMNENT TO PAY FOR IT!"
--------
NEWS "We need Tort Reform to save healthcare system and American Jobs and Free Enterprise. Those Rich Democrat Trial Lawyers are bleeding the system and clogging the courts with frivolous lawsuits! We must free our Great American Businesses and Doctors from the shackles of Overregulation and Liberal Anti-Business Activist Judges and Corrupt Trial lawyers and their Democrat henchmen in Congress."
AD "Did you suffer the tragedy of airsickness while taking an airline flight in the last 20 years? If so, you may be entitled to a HUUUUUGE Settlement if you join our class-action suit. We're the law firm of Shyster and Fleecum and we're on your side in the battle against airsickness. Call us right now!"
--------------- News "The economic crisis was caused by those corrupt government bailouts and those do-gooder liberal government housing scams like Fanny and Freddy! It is not the fault of those pure Wall St. Banks or Large Investors....And those undeserving homeowners who bought houses they can't afford and fell for stupid scams should not be protected by Government Bailouts!"
AD "Are you ready to live the life of your dreams? Call us now and we'll you how you can get a GOVERNMENT BACKED reverse Mortgage and get a free ride on the value of your home and still live there forever!.."
------------------
News "These Lazy Bums who live off Social Security and other Government Entitlements are destroying our country. We must reassert the value of hard work and sacrifice, and force these welfare queens to get a real job and earn their way!"
AD "Are you getting the runaround with your Social Security claims? We're Squeezum and Bilkum and we're help you get the disability benefits you deserve!"

5. It's the brainwashees I'm referring to.. |

Fox has no integrity on any front, and Rupert will go wherever the money is...He is, after all, a guy whose other media properties revel in T&A while Fox espouses conservative family values.
I expect Fox to start running ads for porn any day now.
I'm talking about the total disconnect in the minds of the right wingers who watch it.
