Faux news and the oscars
For a network that despises hollywood and all in los angeles faux sure has a funny way of showing it. Coverage of the red carpet. I do not know how faux news people cannot see the hypocrisy.

It didn't look all that entertaining to me. As a rule, I'm not a Clint Eastwood fan.

8. It's a wonderful movie...
***spoiler information***

(it would piss off conservatives because it deals with the right to die. There's a lethal injection involved, but the recipient WANTS it. "Right to lifers" only like lethal injections given to poor slobs on death row.)

3. Interesting, isn't it...
...that the right-wingers diss Hollywood so much for being "out of touch" with ordinary people? Yeah, right, that's why the movie industry is making so much money, they're out of touch with the public.

4. Just another one of their "big lies"

6. don't forget
rupert murdoch's news corporation owns 20th century fox, so fox news belongs to a corporation that produces the drivel their talking heads rail against.

but what do i know, i'm just an elitist librul.
