Fox News Continues to Win the Orwellian Villain of the World Award

I was at the gym yesterday, and Texas gym rats apparently enjoy Fox News. On the ubiquitous wall-mounted gym TV's there it was for all to "enjoy." Fox, in a move I can only assume was to further evidence their "fair and balanced" nature, was running an environmental segment, despite the fact that they have seemed to support the idea that global warming is not for real. Wow, how fair and balanced of them, one might say. But you will never guess who they got on to interview as the "green" representative.

Alicia Silverstone.

Seriously. They got an inarticulate, no-talent, has-been actress to talk about the environment? Sure that's fair and balanced. Make all those chuckleheads who really do think global warming is fiction think that we tree-huggers follow the word of Alicia Silverstone. It's a tactic designed to make us look silly and or stupid. Yes, that seems both fair and balanced to me.

Hey Fox. I got your "no spin zone" right here. (makes lewd gesture) I think you know what to do.

How the %$#@ did she land that? What Fox executive came up with her name for that story? Was it a hat full of names, and her's was the lucky one pulled out? And what is next? How many other unqualified former celebrities will be called upon to discuss larger issues? Will Howie Mandel come on to talk about the ins and outs of genetic engineering? Or maybe Corey Feldman could discuss the possibility of cold fusion.

You only hate Fox News because you hate America.

That is true, I do hate me some America, and I done hate it good!
But that Alicia Silverstone is so delightful, isn't she?
