The Absurdity of Fox News

It seems that  

Fox news is what people would call UnAmerican, since it seems to be against free speech  

On the surface it might seem strange that people waste their time watching Fox news... but then again seemingly some human behavior isn't about what makes sense, but rather about exploring what can be best call: the absurdity of life.

In my opinion, very little is more absurd than Fox news, so I guess they will be around for a long long time since no one currently does absurd better than Fox News. They are meeting market demand of what people ask to see. Fox News could be called the News flagship of capitalism at work... Don't report the news, report what it's controllers want to sell...

“There's a sucker born every minute”. P.T. Barnum

Funny! What a circus Fox News really is in the finest tradition of PT Barnum.

To those who watch the circus of Fox News, I wonder if they ever ask:

What is the price of admission to Fox News?

I would opine that it's:

Giving up your freedom of belief

Namaste

PS

I should add

My opinion about Fox also covers CNN, CNBC and every major news outlet right now. It's just that Fox defines absurd better than any other news outlet.

Nice to see you included them all. I gave up watching the news years and years ago for similar reasons.
