I shuffle through the channels as I am known to do now and again, it irritates my wife – can’t you just stop on something? I almost invariably stop on a channel with a reality show. It’s kind of hard not to do that! I know, these shows are really nothing but boobie-revealing, douche bag embarrassing, slut-making, competition-engouraging, materialism-enforcing, family-destroying tools of evil. So once in a while I get up the courage to change the channel and save some morals myself. But what channel do more Americans watch for actual reality than any other? Fox fucking News. Talk about a misnomer.

There is very little “news” on Fox News. There is plenty of opining, punditry, lefty bashing, Nazi labeling, socialist accusing, misinformation, bias, deception and paid-for propaganda. Why is it that they get to call what they do “news?” Why is Real Chance at Love associated with the word “reality?” Why is it that you’re allowed to do false advertising if you run the network? Why does everyone continue to apply these false labels?

I would like for the “reality show” moniker to be replaced with something like “experimental social programming.” Because there is really nothing real about these shows. Not even the people on these shows have a shred of sincerity, integrity, depth or actual emotion. If this is what we’re going to call reality, actual reality is in a lot of trouble.

On that note, I would like Fox News to change their name to Fox Opinions. I know as a “press” organization that they’re protected by the first amendment. I know you constitutionalists will say I can just ignore it or I am being a baby about it, or I’m wrong, it’s the only “real” news channel or whatever nonsense argument you’d like to throw back at me. But for real, if Fox wants to keep calling themselves a “news” organization, and get press passes to events, they should stand by the ethical rules of the press, like being truthful and investigating both sides of every story fairly.

At least MSNBC doesn’t solely call themselves MSNBC news. They clearly acknowledge that they do more than just inform, they entertain, offer counter-arguments, teach you about dog-grooming and potty training, etc. Fox, you suck balls. Maybe you should move O’Reilly to VH1 with all the other “reality” television.
