IMO, Steve Doocy at the Bottom Of The Sewer, AKA "Fox and Friends."
The guy is simply stupid.

(39,343 posts)Some of the people working at Faux Noise might be aware of the bullshit they are peddling. Their viewers, however, are eating it up like it is the truest true stuff they have ever heard. They have to be dumber.

well, not really, not that many watch, but the ENTIRE teaparty i think worships them
I used to say if the rightwing candidate for President lined up 20 infants, non white, and shot them all one at a time on live TV, and explained this for some reason being necessary because of disease and welfare, that the teaparty would still vote for this person if a liberal or dem was the alternative.
I believe it with my entire heart and soul

(115,924 posts)Any of the interchangeable cleavaged blondes might also qualify. Hannity's IQ is probably struggling to reach room temperature too; but I think Bill Orally is fairly smart but extremely cynical - he's trying to sell books, and his annual "War on Christmas" shtick probably helps in that respect.

(23,664 posts)Sean Hannity might give him a battle. I get the impression that both of them, in addition to a few others, actually believe the bullshit they spout.
There are those on fox that are cynically mouthing the party line either because they are trying to peddle books to the hicks (O'Reilly), and those who just want to impress the bosses (Kelly).
And then there is Shep Smith. Why he is still around is a mystery to me. The guy impresses me as a straight down the middle news reporter. Maybe he has photographs of Roger Ailes with a goat.
