How can FOX afford to run play the business-as-usual card and simply gloss over Kennedy's death? |
|
Is Roger Ailes feigning ignorance again?

1. Because it's Fox. Typical Fox douchebaggery. |

I wouldn't expect them to do anything else.

2. They have a loyal audience of dumbass sheep. |

They have had years of not getting news, they are used to it and prefer it that way.

I imagine if you watch FAUX you aren't interested in that kind of news anyways.

5. To give an alternative to the barrage of news coverage on EMK's death. |
|
Some people are just not that interested and that's just the way it is.

8. XM Radio Channel POTUS called bullshit on Fox for ignoring Kennedy's death. |
|
I'm loving Channel 110 on my XM more and more!

11. The IQ of the Faux News viewers is pretty low, along with their emotional quotient. |

When they tried to sell the Iraq war to Americans, covering up the atrocities that go with war ... that was a bit of clue.

17. They've demonized Ted Kennedy for decades as the #1 Evil Democrat. |
|
It would be dangerous for the mental health of the typical Fox viewer to run any programming eulogizing him and it would be equally problematic for them to do a death celebration. So, the only thing they can really do is ignore it. Like I do with Fox.
