Hey dude, don't worry about it. If there weren't crazy people around, then we'd just be the guys who everyone calls kooks.

As long as the "don't lie" laws are in effect on the news it might actually be interesting to compare them to the real version of Fox news and see how the items and viewpoints differ, don't you think? Tongue out

We could finally have the undeniable proof.

I don't see how that's a valid excuse. Ignorance is not a good trait for a reporter.

The article mentioned that during the day there would be news, and during the evening there would be opinion pieces. I think they can get around the truth laws by claiming that what they are saying is opinion and not fact. It should be interesting to see how it turns out.

They're allowed to have their station, they're not just allowed to outright lie like they wanted too. I doubt that will stop them, though. It's kinda like a net forum: there's no one watching it 24/7 vetting it for truth, it will require a complaint be made in order to inverstigate. I expect them to slowy inch their way into being a Fox-style lie machine within a few months.

Now our stupid, gormless masses can get domestically grown grade-A bull (or should I say Fox ) instead of having to import it.

Cool.  I like this.  The faster we can spread insanity and breed hardcore fear, the sooner we'll wipe ourselves off the planet.  I'm down.

Me too, though I think the homogenousness of the genetically modified foods we eat combined with a single bacteria or virus that kills it all off would be quicker...
