What time slot was that on at? Looks like some late night filler programming.

Their normal prime time programming is certainly not like that. I'm not excusing their behavior by any means though. I only watched the first quarter and I found it pretty offensive. I'm not Canadian, and I'm not easily offended either so factor that in.

IMO they're way out of line. I detect no attitudes here in the States to support the crap they were spouting off.

Well, they obviously had a target audience in mind for that particular segment since the jokes do look scripted, rehearsed even. Someone wrote this crap and someone gave it the nod of approval. This was not spontaneous humour.

They air a non-news program at 3AM called The Red Eye and from what I have seen of it it is no more offensive than a myriad of other programming that can be found in the overnight hours on cable.

Meh, even I've seen that program before. Considering the time slot, I'm willing to give FOX a pass on this one. At least we know not to take that program seriously. It is better than trying to fill every hour they have with more repeat...

I'm more offended that this guy has the face and personality that makes me want to repeatedly punch him. So basically, he fits in well with the rest of the idiots of Fox News.

This program pops up sometimes, apparently it's almost onion-like and shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's on Fox so that's taken for granted.

That's some seriously heavy commentating. No wonder it's on at 3 a.m....

:roll: Boy you libs sure do love having your panties twisted over FOX. Here is a clue for you constantly outraged morons - it's F'n RedEye. Have you ever watched it? It's not "news" - it's entertainment.

Show me a nation...any nation...that doesn't have crap programming at 3am local time. The ones that do not probably have ended their broadcast day and gone off the air by that time...

True, though BBC at 3 a.m. is quite good. :)

I'm not sure what the big deal is, it just looks like a bunch of failed comedians trying to be funny.

I'm not outraged, but what is it doing on a news network then? I think that is at least a fair question.

In truth, 24 hour "news" networks are all garbage.

I rarely watch their news programs so I've never come across this particular bunch of assholes. Do they make it a habit of offending people on purpose? :frown:

Where is the footage of Obama insulting defenseless handicapped people. I forgot double standard... Anyhow our lawmakers have said worse about our own military.

Actually I think both of them are funny. They

Isn't the joke canada has a tank. How long does it need to repair that one tank?

The offensive question I can't answer as that is extremely subjective. Though I would say its consistently ignorant.

Then they shouldn't put it on a "news" channel.
