<< Going on Fox is like going on pretend TV, but the problem is that Fox viewers seem to mistake Fox News for reality. This wouldn't matter, except for the fact that
FOX NEWS and THEIR COHORTS ON RIGHT-WING TALK RADIO and blogs MANAGES TO SET THE AGENDA FOR THE REST of the 'NEWS' MEDIA. For instance, borrowing "facts" direct from the a right wing hate blog, Fox commentator WILLIAM KRISTOL goofed in his NY Times column about Obama attending the infamous Rev. Wright church service -- Obama had told the truth, he hadn't been there -- then Kristol had to take it all back when corrected by actual real live journalists. But of course by that time the lie had done the rounds and become another "fact." >>

The Fox people consistently stood out as the worst prepared, shockingly dumb "TV hairdos" (as John called them) I've ever encountered. Note to authors: When on Fox make sure you use the precious seconds between being ushered into the studio and air time. Prep your interviewers but prepare to more or less interview yourself. Try to distract them from their last minute makeup touchups. Try to get them to focus -- even briefly -- on what you've come to talk about so that their dumbest remarks are off air.
