Scary Fox News Shit

The key here, is plausible deniability.

Fox News bullshitter Glenn Beck pleads with his viewing audience to NOT kill the people they disagree with.

Gawker is running with the theory that the folks at Fox are becoming increasingly concerned about the ferocity of the shitstorms they’ve kicked up, citing Shepard Smith’s recent offhand mention of the crazies they know are watching at home.

This bizarre and almost chilling clip is a bit like watching Beck pull down the mask and wink at the audience. For just a moment the blowhard character steps back and is interrupted by the more than slightly terrified performer who hides within. It’s one thing to play a bad guy, quite another to turn around and see the bad guys that will follow you.

Boom Goes The Dynamite

"Uhhhh..."

Anyone who knows Sean K. Robb knows that if there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s watching the wheels fall off the sick joke that is TV news. In particular, I love watching reporters “in the field” struggle to maintain that fakey newsguy thing when confronted by drunken members of the public that just want to get their dumb mugs on screen.

Especially good is when said reporters resort to violence to maintain the integrity of their on-scene reports. In this recent clip, Las Vegas reporter Steve Ryan honours the spirit of Michael Jackson by bitch slapping a drunk fat guy. Gold.
