Fox News Again

[thesummerqueen]

It's a cheap trick and only the morons of this country buy into it.

If the internet has taught me anything, it's that 90% of those who watch or participate in any form of media believe that an unanswered argument point is a "won" argument point. Leaving it unanswered because it was so profoundly stupid that your brain short-circuited and you decided hastily to move on to something that didn't require massive brain hemmorage to deal with is only understood by a select few.

I've known people who get pissed if you delete your own facebook posts because they think it should be there for posterity, even when the conversation has degenerated and they were the stupid-looking ones. I know people (let's call them "A") who get pissed at other people ("B") because when A calls B out on something so retarded that A should be ashamed of themselves and B ignores it to go on about their much more important life, A will declare victory and feel like this:



Silence is no longer golden in this country, if it ever was, and a meme-worthy face and "moving on to more important matters!" tone is taken as conceding defeat by those "morons" who make up an entirely too vast portion of our population. There are plenty of liberals and atheists who feel he should have shouted O'Reilly down, but I doubt it would have done any good. Fox has a history of shutting down entire interviews when they don't go their way. Silverman plays with Fox's tactics the best way he can.

I don't actively seek out Fox clips, because as I've stated numerous times, I turn into the Hulk and want to smash things when I see it, but in my limited experience there's only been one man allowed to say what he wants without giving a flying fuck what anyone thought, and that was Bill Clinton. The title is somewhat disingenuous, in my opinion - I don't think he entirely kicks the crap out of them - but goddammit, he had something to say and he was going to correct them and say it. And fuck them if they didn't like it - he wasn't president anymore and he wasn't going to take any of their shit.
