Jon Stewart, the Fox News war on Texting

Texting and pot

Jon Stewart makes total fools of Fox News Bill O’Reilly, Gretchen Carlton, Dr Ablow and most anyone associated with that silly channel. What is priceless about this video is the black man in dreadlocks who with only a few words and some face gestures makes them all look like they need to be caught and put dragged back to the nursing home from whence they came.

We often hear about the geriatric demography of Fox News, but seldom is it presented as clearly as in this newest of Fox News wars, the War on Texting. Which I bet you didn’t know is an addiction no different than smoking pot – which in itself is not addictive.

After all, if you put both texting and pot together and count the deadly carnage involved,  you do not get 30,000 dead each year from guns, or 400,000 a year from cigarettes, or a 100,000 from the booze every year, no, you get zero and zero which adds up to zero.

Though the average age of a Fox News viewer is 65+ and they have been losing viewership over the past 5 years or so, they win the share over other cable news outlets. Also remember, everyone gets older, and dumber. So their demise is overstated methinks.
