Look, make your life easier. Don't turn on FOX for the entirety of the convention.
I just turned on, during a CNN and MSNBC commercial break. A bunch of "concerned" rhetorical questions followed:

First, it was "Hillary Clinton supporters--will they vote for Obama? Or is it just hopeless for the Dems?"

Then, it was "Why so many Undecideds in the party? Do they not know who Obama is--or DO they know and not like what they see?"

Then, it was "Transferring the convention from the Pepsi Center to the Mile High Stadium--is this a logistical nightmare waiting to happen?"

Finally, it was "On Thursday, Obama's convention speech will snarl traffic for miles, probably erasing all the good will the Dems built up in Denver. Might the convention actually LOSE Obama support in Colorado?"

Let's see, should I continue to keep Fox News ON--or should I block the channel permanently?

1. Don't worry, I wasn't about to. It is like they are a non-existent entity to me......
I'm not sure how folks could even watch what is clearly aimed at 3rd graders!

6. Watching Fox news is a sure fire way to give me heartburn and fits of rage.
I avoid it like the plague.
