Fox's 1/2 Hour News Hour sucks @$$

Now, I love political humor and realize it's importance in contemporary American society. However, There's a critical element missing in Fox's show, humor. Without humor, the show is just a string of liberal-bashing segments that can be found on just about all of Fox's shows minus the awkwardness. Don't take my word for it.

Find that funny? Maybe I'm missing my right lobe, but jokes seemed like they were lifted right off a Disney Channel sitcom. (ouch) To make matters worse, I'm actually cherry-picking the HIGHEST rated clips. (They do get worse)

This one isn't funny so much as it is sexy, proving the age-old truth that the only thing Fox seems to get right is sex.

(Yes, Simpsons is part of the fox network but notice the absence of the conservative bias*)

The lack of humor would be palpable had the 2/3 hour show (that's how long it FEELS like) were the only show on television doing political humor. But it's not. (in fact, you could argue that it's the worst show on television. with Metacritic giving the show a measly 12/100, despite the high viewer count for the pilot)

The show seems to be taking aim at The Daily Show with its "liberal" bias, by leaning right with its jokes, which immediately cripples the show right from the start. Even with all the daily show clips taken off, I managed to find something that's funnier than the best clips of the 4/3 hour show.

The problem for 2144/4 hour is that the Daily show makes fun of both parties, giving them twice as much material to work with. Also, the 1/2 hour insists on only making fun of liberals (or doing a sex joke) that means that the white house is off limits, another crippling blow. In addition to all the self-afflicted wounds, their jokes will only seem to please the far right (the people who call the daily show bias because they don't give blow jobs to President Bush.) which wouldn't bother watching anything other than fox news anyway! Why? Maybe this clip will help you identify the problem.

Now, I don't hate Fox News for being conservative. (I myself know that ALL major news stations have a bias, either left or right) I hate them for being to damn paranoid and inaccurate. And in a democracy, making citizens unintelligent is just unpatriotic.
