FOX Sunday

[liaku]

Well, Obama will be making an appearance on Fox News Sunday. It's already been taped; it will air tomorrow.

Obama has said he would use his Fox appearance to "take Fox on." We'll see: if he gave better than he got, it may have been a useful exercise. But it's unlikely to happen that way, because Fox controls the interviewer, the cameras, the microphones, the questions, the editing process, the edited clips that are shown ad nauseam afterwards, and the "analysts" to probe and misrepresent and be sanctimoniously outraged at those clips for days afterwards. Going on Fox News to criticize the shoddy journalism of Fox News is like jumping into a rattlesnake pit to yell at the snakes: they're snakes, damn it. They don't give a damn what you say. They don't even have ears.

HAS HE GONE MAD?

I fail to see how this endeavor could be productive. I think the best thing to do with Fox News is simply avoid them. Like the plague.
