Fox News Demographic: "...Diseased, Crazy, Old Prostitute"

I'm not posting this clip because I like it. I'm posting it because I thought that Fox viewers might be interested to know that Fox is no more adverse to pandering to the lowest common denominator than Eliot Spitzer is to prostitution.

The full quote on demographic research (per se) was on and about the Fox Show, "Red Eye" in response to viewer mail.

The host's response was, "Joe, you asked who the other 11 viewers are who watch the show, and that's an excellent question. I actually did some research --- turns out it's some diseased, crazy, old prostitute, who lives in tenement housing with 10 Hell's Angels, who pass her around like an hors doeuvre tray. Anyway, Mother's Day is only a few months away, so send her a card."

This was moments before telling another seemingly unhappy viewer that three people from the show were planning to visit the viewer's state and "...bang [his] wife."

Red Eye seems like O'Reilly Factor meets Jackass 2.5 ... except the makers of Jackass have a better sense of humor, and (as much as it pains me to say it) O'Reilly appears to have a higher intellect.

Yeah, that was a funny one. Pretty good insult for a 3am comedic roundtable show.

I'm guessing that maybe you didn't read what I wrote... ; )

Here it is (abridged):

I did, I was just trying to fight your negativity with a little sunshine.

Look, if this was a serious news show you'd have a point. But it's a 3am comedy roundtable. Their guests are comedians, columnists, and off-duty reporters whose only goal is to sit around joking about themselves and each other. It's not much different than what Colin Quinn did, or what Bill Mahr wishes he was doing.

If you don't find it funny, that's fine. But low-brow humor is legal (unlike what Spitzer did).

I don't know that it's negativity - to enlighten people that Fox is not really part of the religious right (as is certainly alleged) ... but just a corporation trying to make money. I find the truth quite warm and sunny ; )

Colin Quinn and Bill M-a-h-e-r (perhaps you don't watch him ; )) are funny ... but my point is: Those show didn't air on a network that is linked ($) to conservative values. Quinn was - what? MTV, then Comedy Central. M-a-h-e-r: HBO. Fox: no crime just lame hypocrisy.

I think that greg is fiscally conservative, but not socially. I'm a liberal, and I actually like this show (hilarious), sorry you feel that way about it. ^_^

@juicyjuiceme yes gutfeld has mentioned he went from liberal to conservative to now libertarian beliefs.

This show is funny as all. I love these guys, they are fearless. I TIVO this show and watch it as my morning show.

[staniscanner]

That's the point of the show is to insult :)

[hobpeeper]

I'm actually going to start watching this show. I need to know who buys commercial time so I can stop buying their products.
