I hate Fox News, but I thought I found it mildly amusing. Looks like they were doing a "comedy" segment... and a bad one at that. Seems no different than Olbermann's last 2-3 minute pieces with comedians like Michael Musto or any other two-bit comedian he finds to agree with him -- and his show airs at 8 PM.

Lighten the fuck up!

I'm not going to waste time watching the video, as I have seen redeye before and found it completely devoid of any value.

Exactly....like much of the other shows on the network: Fox and Friends, Studio B, Your World, Glen Beck, The O'Reily Factor, Hannity, Fox Report, On the Record, The Beltway Boys, Huckabee, Geraldo at large, Special Report with Brit Hume, Weekend Live, Just In, Pat Sajak, Drudge, Fox Wire, The Edge, 212, Fox X-Press

Its like Comedy Central for conservatives.

Do you think it is possible for a country to collapse purely under the weight of it's own arrogance? I think it almost happened to France a few years ago but they were kept from falling into the sea by the balancing force of German self-hate.

Yeah, I don't see what the big deal is. I've seen Jon Stewart do far worse.

Yes, and close on the percentage.

Long legged blonde bimbos, snotty and cynical commentators, loaded up with right wing aphorisms and "analysis". Did I miss something? :)

It's obviously sarcasm. However, Canadians won't realize it because they have the well known Canadian Inferiority Complex.

Meh, Red Eye is not a news show.

Most of the people on it are comedians, or believe they are.

I figured it was something particular to NYC, maybe they're well-known there because I've never seen/heard of them before?

I don't see a problem either (shrug). I don't think most of you guys would complain if that was segment on Jons Stewart's show.

And no, from the few times I've seen it I don't believe there is much scripting (other than some of Gutfeld's remarks). Mostly the show seems designed to be like a bunch of friends sitting around after the bars have closed BS'ing and trying to be funny/cute/witty/entertaining.

IMO, that show is so low on the radar screen it's totally not worth complaining about anyway.

Stewart is at least funny. These guys remind me of your typical ATOTer, the douchbaggery is strong in them.

Well, you got one out of two right. Faux is definitely not news.

Doug Bensen should stick to smoking pot and doing stand-up; Super high me was hilarious.



edit: Is this correct usage of the semi-colon? I got two independent clauses, both of which are valid sentences on their own.. I like semi colons and I want to use them more often, but I wanna do it right ya know..

Calm down ladies, it's a parody show. Are some of you people really this stupid or do you just sit around and wait to be OUTRAGED by Fox News?

Apparently you don't have parody or comedy shows in your country, that must be pretty boring.

Red Eye is sometimes pretty entertaining, and should never be taken seriously. They also have hot guests on all the time.

When you take into account Fox News' target audience, this kind of shit makes a lot of sense.
