I had long suspected this

That Fox News anchors and pundits were hacks who couldn't possibly believe the shit that spews from their collective pie holes, and were only in this for the money. Judging from the fact Fox attempts to obscure facts from it's viewers, yep, I believe it.

I am also certain of this, if Fox News ratings start sliding even more they will abandon the Republicans in favor of rating and ad revenue. Will they continue to obscure the news? Wait and watch. This is the corporation that offers the worst news and entertainment in the industry, like "When Animals Attack."

From the Assimilated Press:

Rupert Murdoch Calls Fox News Viewers Morons & White Trash

New York, New York - In a conversation with Fox News celebrities, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, that was picked up by an open microphone, Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO of News Corp., repeatedly referred to Fox News viewers as morons and white trash. The incident took place as the three men were sitting together at a benefit dinner for the Ann Coulter defense fund. Apparently, they had been drinking heavily which may account for their lack of restraint and obliviousness to the open microphone that was positioned directly in front of them.

At one point, while addressing O'Reilly and Hannity, Murdoch said, "Can you believe the shit we get away with? Good thing our viewers are dumb as doorknobs or else we would be in trouble." To which, Hannity laughed and then replied, "Yeah, I heard that people who watch Fox News have to wear bibs to catch their drool so their sofas won't be stained by the tobacco juice, and that's just the women." O'Reilly, also laughing, then joined in by saying, "Hey, how many Fox viewers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they all refuse to change the bulb because they prefer living in the dark."

However, the unkindest cut of all that is sure to enrage Fox viewers came at the end of the conversation when Murdoch raised his glass in a toast and said, "God bless trailer park trash and idiots everywhere. Without them Fox News would be nothing and I would not be a billionaire."

After news of the recorded conversation became public, Fox News released the following brief statement, "We encourage our viewers to reject anything they hear or see that does not come directly from Fox News. Fox News is the only source of information you need for Fair and Balanced™ coverage."

I don't know if this is true. Truth, like a fart in a bath tub, has a way of coming to the surface no matter how hard you try to keep it down.

With the wealth of garbage on Fox like this, what can you expect:

They appeal to the lowest segment of American Culture and encourage it.
