Many of my american friends are horrified by the fact that I often watch Fox news: they’re liberal and cannot understand how I can get my news from such a conservative station. It’s very simple: I don’t. I watch Fox for another reason, that is entertainment value. And believe me, on that there’s no competition between say Glenn Beck and Rachel Maddow, and while the former entices me to the point of ecstasy (like when he weeps abundantly on air because he “loves America”) the latter bores me to tears (also because at the same time there are often Operation Repo<\/a> reruns on Tru TV, and that’s hard to beat). Glenn is pure entertainment, and so are Hannity, Shep and Poppa Bear. Here are the first 4 messages from the brand new Glenn Beck twitter page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

  1. I like fish<\/span>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. we’re all going to die. Soon.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. this “tweet” thing pisses me off and besides, I can’t guarantee the train travel thing.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. This is my first ‘tweet’. I’ll try to keep the lying about train travel to a minimum.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Isn’t that sublime? Much better than any liberal tweeting (usually witty and coolish). I only have one perplexity: why does Fox label itself as Fair and Balanced<\/em>? That’s not why I watch it: I do it for the exact opposite reason.
